Hot Wings ... Part 2

Success.

The wings tasted good, I really liked the sauce. Here are some pics and the recipe I came up with:

Cut wings at joints, discard the tips. Rinse the wings off in water and pat dry with paper towels. dredge lightly in corn starch and remove excess. Fry at 375 for 10-12 minutes until done. (I like to use a wok and fry 6-8 at a time)


The Sauce:
combine in small sauce pan the following:
1/2 C Franks Red Hot - plus several extra shakes
1/2 C butter
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp white pepper

bring to a simmer and stir well. pour over wings in a large bowl and toss to coat. Serve and enjoy.

Hot Wings ... Part 1

So Jason asked me to make some hot wings - I've never made them before, but how hard can it be ... I came up with some ideas for the sauce, then went and read other recipes online, and my ideas seem to be right on.

I may even measure what I put in the mix in case someone wants to follow. I don't think they will be super hot, but should be tasty.

Rick Roll'd at Ace Hardware

So I went into ace hardware today to buy some plastic washers I needed, and all of a sudden over the in-store speaker system I get Rick Rolled. I was all the way in the back. There was no escape, I still had to go through checkout.

Vista SP1 imaging ...

So I was hoping that with the release of SP1 Microsoft would fix the computer name / domain issue with deploying an image, but Even with WAIK for vista sp1, and the Vista with SP1 DVD, I still can't get it to work correctly. With a * I can get a random name that joins the domain, without the * it doesn't prompt for a name, it tries a random name, but fails to create the trust account.

I at least have a working image I can use now though, even if it does generate a random name. Also winpe takes WAY to long to load. It does drop the image on the machine quickly.

Anyway that is what my day has been today. Computers ...

Tomorrow I deploy our final Server 2003 box, after that all new server will be server 2008.

Let the Good Times roll.
