Superbowl cooking with Nick


We had the pleasure of having Nick (Gus's brother) cook for us on Superbowl Sunday.  The menu? No wings were to be found at Trader Joe's, so drumsticks and nachos it was.  Nick made two different sauces for the chicken: traditional hot wing sauce and a peanut soy sauce. Both were ah-maze-ing.  The chicken was baked, making it juicy and tender and slightly crispy on the outside. The hot wing sauce had a lip-smacking bite; and adding slurry gave it the perfect consistency. The peanut soy sauce was incredibly savory and by far my favorite.  I literally licked the entire bowl.  And the nachos were nachos, the perfect accompaniment.  See below for the recipes and more pictures.

To get us in the mood for fall...

I got my daily Food&Wine newsletter today and they have some wonderful slideshows for fall recipes. Just looking through them gets me in the mood for crisp weather, pumpkins, and plaid.  The recipes utilize fall produce (i.e. lots of butternut squash) - but F&W keeps things interesting with creative ingredient pairings and by blending together different cuisines. The recipes below caught my eye - nothing drastically different from what I'd already make, but each tinged for the fall season, so it seems:
