Apologise for the lack of post recently, but I've been busy at work since it's month end close. Yep, busy working half the day and the other half entertaining MamaFiza, JulieCat & May :p. Other than that, been keeping to regular exercises of running and gym work out after office hours as well as reading my new books which I bought last month in Book Xcess.
Will try to try out more new recipes and post blogs about it. Coming soon (I hope) will be Fish Head Curry, Rachel Ray's chicken sandwich recipe courtesy of MamaFiza, Chicken Fajitas from Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food (need to source for avocados) and bake a cheese cake for J's birthday. A tall order you think? Well, it will keep me busy for a few weekends, if I am that rajin (hardworking) la. Teehee.
Meanwhile had decided to try cooking Buffalo Wings a few weeks ago. Only one word, to describe the outcome (at least for the 1st batch) faildotcom...sigh. That's right, what happened was that the wings turned out TASTELESS. Arggghhh.

So decided to consult JulieCat and since I had another batch of wings uncooked, I dumped about half bottle of tobasco sauce just like what she did. Oh, also added a table spoon of paprika. Taste wise for the 2nd batch was okay la, nothing to shout about, but still didn't look like any of those buffalo wings I had at Chilis. Hmmm...
This was where I got the recipe from, http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/buffalo_wings/, with some alteration made (JulieCat says this was the reason of my failure, bleh!). Maybe it's the recipe, I don't know, but I wont be attempting this in the near future. At least not until I get a cheaper alternative to Tobasco sauce.
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings (about 12 wings)3 Tbsp butter, melted
4 Tbsp bottled hot pepper sauce (like Crystal or Frank's Original) - I used Tobasco as it was the only one available. See JulieCat, it did say 4 tablespoons only.
1 Tbsp paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Don't have this in the kitchen so just add on the ration to black pepper's
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 Create a marinade by stirring together the melted butter, hot pepper sauce, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the marinade over the chicken pieces in the plastic bag. (Reserve marinade for coating after the pieces come out of the oven.) Seal bag and let marinate at room temperature for half an hour. When marinating is finished, drain marinade and discard bag.
3. Fry in hot oil.
Here are some pictures I taken, no-where-looking-like Buffalo wings, a plate of my spaghetti carbonara cooked with sausages, mushrooms and bacon bit & cut tomatoes and packed lunch box to be brought to the office the following day.
