What's For Dinner #126 - the Hearts, Flowers, Candy, But It's Cold and Snowy! Edition - February 2026

Talk about susceptibility! All this Superb Owl talk errrrywhere had me craving wings after all! :upside_down_face:

We picked up a family pack of whole wings at the Jine Iggle that my PIC split with a cleaver (as well as he could, freezing what we weren’t going to use, and saving the wing tips for a lil stock I’ll make tomorrow). Tossed the air-dried wings with baking powder and salt before frying them to well done at 400˚F in the AF.

They may look anemic, but the skin was nicely crispy & the meat juicy.

Frank’s OG hot sauce & “extra hot” (but not really) hot sauce plus TJ’s habanero (actually) hot sauce whisked with a generous amount of melted butter for tossing, as well as a Nashville hot sauce. I much preferred the Nashville hot sauce. Better, more interesting flavor.

I’d also whipped up a bhatch of ghuac — perfectly ripe avocados, 1/2 a finely diced shallot, Iime juice, cumin, salt, Sinatra, TJ’s bird’s eye pepper sauce — to have with tortilla chips.

My dude made tantalizingly tart margaritas

& a blue cheese dip for the “healthy” part of our dinner: carrots & celery :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

A big fat slice of chocolate mousse cake awaits for dessert.

Def not a diet day at casa lingua :wink:
