Happy Saturday morning! Hope your Christmas went well and you ate lots of yummy food! Here, my Mom made a turkey dinner and then we all headed out to the movies. The theatre was packed, but we were able to see what we went there for. We saw Valkyrie that night and it wasn't like I thought, after seeing the trailer. I thought there was going to be lots of action, but there wasn't much. I personally thought it was a sad movie. I didn't expect the guys trying to kill Hitler were going to be shot. That was the worst part of the movie. What do you guys think of it? Any of you seen it yet?
Onto some happier stuff. These wings at #4 are hot and spicy but delicious! My Dad and brother were gobbling these right up and if you have a family member who likes spicy with-a-kick, they will love these.

Have a great weekend and see you with #3 next!

ReplyDeleteThose wings look really good. My husband is a huge fan of anything spicy (I got him fancy hot sauces for his birthday, that's how much he loves spicy!), and I think he would totally love these wings.
ReplyDeleteu should post a notice that you are about to spoil a major plot line in a brand new movie. guess there is no reason to see it now!
ReplyDeleteI never think to make cocoa from scratch. I bet it is much better. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe wings look like a great choice for Superbowl (yeah, I'm already thinking about it!). I love homemade hot cocoa! I will have to try it with the almond!
