Break out the napkins for this one! Succulent, juicy, a fab first course, or if you serve a flock of wings 😉 it can be a main course as well. I love eating wings but hate cleaning them. Then, as I have already mentioned, the French butcher in our neighborhood saved us by delivering to […]
This is a delightful add on to your kitchen repertoire. Delish in the long, hot days of summer, wonderful in hot tea. In short, it is a syrup which is ridiculously easy to make, takes about 5 minutes of cooking time and then to get full flavor, you let the flavorings steep in the syrup […]
