Da Bomb Chicken Wings in a zingy Lime curry Butter.
Da Bomb Chicken Wings – zingy lime curry butter.
Since I unpacked all my cookbooks and put them in the book shelf in the kitchen, I thought to myself, in all these books I have probably cooked two recipes from each book. A few exceptions would be recipes from my trusty oldies I brought from Ireland.
Now I know this might sound strange, but not having TV for 26 years, I have not really watched any cooking shows except while staying in hotels, or the time I visited my mother for 3 months at the beginning of her dementia. We watched her favorite program where the Irish chef’s are given a few ingredients and have to make something quickly.
I watch food films on Netflix, and loved the Anthony Bourdain TV series, No Reservations and Parts Unknown. He’s the kind of guy I’d like to have a martini with at some seedy bar, shoot the breeze and chow down on Da Bomb Chicken Wings in a zingy lime curry butter. Have you read his books? I have and enjoyed them immensely as they are highly entertaining.
Lately I have seen Top Chef and Hell’s Kitchen and can’t believe what I see. Everyone is so tense and stressed. I wonder how that food tastes with all that drama in the hands that prepare it.
I am a firm believer that when you cook a meal with love and mindfulness, it radiates into the food and is felt and shared by the people who eat it. …Same with blessing the food before it’s eaten. When I grew up we never said a blessing before eating, and I remember when I watched American films and TV shows like The Waltons, where families gathered around the table saying grace. I had a longing for that. Now I thank the universe and bless our food.
I am on a mission and have included Bill in that said mission (whether he knows it or not), to cook something different every day. And from one of our many cookbooks. I wanted something that was quick and easy but packed with punch and flavor and this one has it all.
This recipe for Da Bomb Chicken Wings – zingy lime curry butter was adapted from Tyler Florence’s cookbook called Tyler’s Ultimate.
I made it last night (so easy), we had friends over for happy hour and it was devoured in minutes, everyone sucking on the sweet, tasty, tangy wings that smelled heavenly.
