Macro Monday

Here is another recipe for one of my favorite foods, Chicken Wings.

HONEY SESAME CHICKEN WINGS

A few dozen Chicken Wings
Salt and Pepper
1/4 cup Liquid Honey
2 TBSP. Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 TBSP. Olive Oil
Mix all ingredients in a shallow bowl, add your chicken wings in and toss to coat wings. Let them marinate until you are ready to cook.
Spread wings on cookie sheet lined with Tin Foil, and sprinkle generously with 1/3 cup Roasted Sesame Seeds. Also sprinkle all the wings with Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper.
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
Wings are done when skin is crisp and caramelized.
Sprinkle chopped Green Onions over top to garnish wings and enjoy!

These wings are supper tonight and so get down good that I thought you might want to try them sometime as well. They are also super easy to make, and after they are all gone, all you have to do is roll up the tin foil and throw it out and dishes are done!

Today's Flowers

Here are a couple of flowers from my friend Gay's garden. Her father who is in his nineties now, tends the garden all summer. And it is a huge garden! He sells the flowers in a road side stand outside his house.
I have spent quite a few afternoons in thier gardens taking photos, and after enjoying some snacks and wine outside in the garden.

The Dalhia's that are grown in the garden are large and beautiful. They make stunning bouquets.

I would love to send some pictures of flowers for Guest Host to Today's Flowers but can't for the life of me find where to send them to. Could someone who knows please give me the information in my comments. Thank you in advance!

Skywatch Friday

SKYWATCH FRIDAY

Sometimes you can see the sky in other things such as window reflections.
As well as the sky reflected in the barn window, you can also see part of the mountain and a small barn on the next property with two horses on the side. You have to look close!

Pulling back from the window you can see the blue sky behind the barn. The day was cold but the sky was bright and blue!

Sepia Scenes for Watery Wednesday

A cool damp foggy day at Mike Lake in Golden Ears Park in Maple Ridge, B.C. The lake was calm allowing the reflections in the water to be clear and concise. Behind me where I took this photo was a small floating dock out into the water and a couple of small boats fly fishing in the lake beyond that. It was very peaceful and quiet.

Macro Monday meets Ruby Tuesday again.

This Macro Monday meets Ruby Tuesday is all about all the things you need when you get sick with the Flu and Cold.

Tylenol to knock the fever down and Entex LA is the best stuff ever invented to keep cold symptoms at bay.

Lemon flavored Fishermen Friends soothe the throat and help you breathe a bit better. Breathing is good.
Loose Leaf Tea from Celestial Teapot and lots of it to hydrate and soothe the sore throat. My little tea holder used to be my Mom's. It really reminds me of her, like a hug when you are feeling down.


Chocolate with little pieces of Toffee in it that my Hubby brought me. Chocolate always makes a girl feel better!

And Chocolate goes really well with Fresh Strawberries too, whether you dip them in the chocolate or eat them seperately. My hubby says its strictly for the Vitamin C but I know better!

And while you are curled up on the couch under a fleecy blanket, you need something to read. The latest Rachael Ray magazine, all about Comfort food and a couple of library books to choose from are the best!

Today's Flowers

There are little signs of Spring starting to pop up now, even though at times the temps are very low and cold. I saw Blossoms on a tree the other day, so I am feeling hopeful Spring is around the corner.
I mss the roses. So here are a couple of Rose photos for all who miss Spring like I do!
A little prelude to spring flowers!
