Buffalo Chicken Wings

Half of the family has finished their dinner.

The other half was sidetracked by the gorgeous weather, and the desire to use every moment of sunlight to work on “opening up the garden.”

(Nevermind that it might snow next week. I’ve GOT to get my seeds for the spinach and lettuces, or is it LETTUCI?!, into the dirt.)

So open the garden up we did.

The little people ate and are off at the library (with their daddy) hanging out with the life size caterpillar from “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”

The big people will eat later. 

Here are my super simple buffalo chicken wings…minus the celery and the blue cheese dipping sauce!
