Super Bowl Weekend

This was a great weekend. I stayed in friday night and was able to get up saturday with an early start. I worked out really hard followed by some swimming. I was drained and got myself down to my weekly weight loss goal. I am down to 159.6 with 16% body fat. Today was my day off from my diet. I indulged needless to say. Dobes, Amy, and I cooked up a feast for our party. Amy made sausage balls and mini wieners. Dobes and I made wings. I am trying to come up with my own secret recipe. My first attempt was a success but there is ample room for improvement. The base of my sauce was franks combined with cumin and some other spices. I added cumin for the after kick which is sharp and distinct. To be honest, Ive never had wings with a trailing bite like cumin adds. I am going to continue doing the skinless variety because they are lower in calories and the meat cooks much differently. I need to work on the thickness of my sauce in addition to my cooking method. I browned mine in a pan then simmered with beer, chicken stock, and hot sauce.

Amy also suggested i try a honey sauce so i combined some soy and honey with a few other ingredients. Amy commented that my wings tasted like they were from a restaurant. She doesn't even like wings that much so that was a big complement.

The SuperBowl was amazing this year. Exciting game towards the end made up for the low score for the rest of the game. Dobes and I also agreed that the E*Trade commercials were the best.
