Of all the wonderful foods in the lunch buffet at the Asian supermarket, there is still one thing missing in the opinion of mon mari: Chinese Barbecued Chicken Wings.

I was very politely asked if I would be willing to post a recipe and blurb promoting a weekly recipe newsletter….
Yes, it is a bit of a conflict since I have a site, Thyme for Cooking, that does weekly menu plans…

It seems he didn't like rice.
