Wing Night at Clan McCann's!

For my first recipe post I will share what Jeff & I made for dinner last night. It was super easy! We deep fried 5lbs of wings in a large stock pot for about 30 minutes. I did not do any prepping of the wings before cooking. We used 2 sauces (Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce and Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce) and covered half the wings in one sauce and half in the other. We broiled them for 4 minutes on each side, using the very top rack in your oven. They came out great and were not fatty or chewy. For anyone that is like me and doesn't care for spicy food but enjoys the Buffalo flavor, I highly recommend the Sweet Baby Ray's . Bonn appetite'!

 

 

Hello Blogger World!

Hi Everyone,

I'm the SM (Social Media) Pilot Mom.  Let me tell  you a little bit about myself.  I'm middle aged with two grown daughters.  My oldest daughter, Jess, got married a little over a year ago and is working on growing her family.  My youngest daughter, Codi, is graduating from college this May with a degree in fine arts.  She will be the first college graduate from my "branch" of the family tree.  I couldn't be more proud of these two young women and their accomplishments.  They make their momma proud every single day.

I am re-married to a wonderful man named Jeff (pictured above).  Instead of children we decided to raise cats together.  We have 3 (Moshi, Cuddles and Poofy Kitty).  They each have their own personality and we love them dearly.  I always have a crazy cat story to share, that's for sure!

I am also a later in life college student working towards a BS in Anthropology.  I lost my job about 5 years ago and after a year of tyring, in vain, to find a job I decided that it was time to go to school.  I've discovered that Cultural Anthropology is where my true interests lie.  I find people and their cultures, past & present, to be absolutely fascinating.  It has also given me great insight into the vast differences in our communities and why those differences exist.  I also have a very deep love of ancient history.  What I'm going to do with this in life . . . I have no idea!  It's interesting and a college education was on my "bucket" list so here we are!

I have a private pilot's license (ere go Pilot Mom), which was the very first thing on my "bucket" list.  I got it about 15 years ago or so and was so very excited to be able to accomplish this feat.  I haven't flown in a long time but it is something that I am very proud of. 

I have many other things on my "bucket" list; like traveling the world and learning to fluently read, write and speak French.  I truly envy those that can switch languages at the drop of a hat!  With that being said, that is really what I want my blog to be about.  Following  your dreams and not being afraid, no matter your age, race or whatever it is that sets you apart from everyone else.  I've always been a "square peg" attempting to fit in a round hole and I've discovered that I rather enjoy being a "square peg".  It keeps life interesting. 

I look forward to talking to  you all and sharing our different life experiences, funny stories, travel ideas/stories as well as recipes because I love, love, love to cook!  So be prepared for me to share lots of recipes and ideas with you all!
