Pepsi Chicken Wings Night (Recipe included, super easy)

Are you a wings person? Here let's add a new flavour to your wings collection: Pepsi!!!

I decided to make wings with the pepsi that my friends brought over last night to make chicken wings. I didn't tell my tickling buddy, what kind of wings I was going to make. Because last time I suggested making Pepsi Wings, he was like: Ewwww....

So tonight, I just went ahead and make it, if he does't like, I will eat them all.

This is the mess I made, doesn't it look like some kind of abstract painting?

My tickling buddy loved it, and we finished it all of course, the poor poodle got non of it.

Here is gonna be one of the recipes that you will wanna keep, and guess what it is super easy, like beginner easy. 

Ingredients:

1 pound          Chicken wings (about 15 - 20)

1                    Lemon  

2 cans            Coke 

          1/2 tsp            Salt

1 tsp               Soy Sauce

Directions:

I. Make 2 light cuts on the surface of each wings, so that the sauce can get into the meat easily.

2. Put the Chicken wings in a large bowl and marinate it with the juice from one lemon, let it sit for at least 5 minutes. This will get rid of the smell of chicken, and at the same time make the meat more soft and tender, and add more taste to the wings.

3. Heat up the frying pan, and put the wings in (no need to put in any oil, as the oil will come out of the fat in the chicken as you cook it).

4. When there is fat coming out of the wings, flip it to the other side.

5. Let the wings cook until both of the side golden, as shown in my picture. (this took me around 5-7 minutes)

6. Add in Pepsi or Coke so that it just covers up all the wings, and also add in salt and soy sauce.

7. Get rid of the bubbles.

8. In medium to high heat, let the wings cook until the coke becomes a syrup like texture. (this took me around 15 - 20 minutes) 

9. Serve it, and get ready to eat this bad chicken wing!!!! 

ENJOY!!!

Healthy Night Snack: Watermelon Cups with Cucumber Feta Salad

Dear lovely owls and poodles:

After swimming last night, I came back home very hungry. But I can't just grab the ice-cream that is screaming for my attention in the fridge, or the bag of potato chips that is trying to seduce me. I must eat something healthy, and so here comes my healthy, refreshing and delicious: 

Watermelon Cups with Cucumber Feta Salad!!!!

I found this lovely snack from the Taste Magazines at BC Liquor Stores, it's easy and simply amazing. 

And here is the recipe:

             1/2                                                               English Cucumber, diced

   1 tbsp                       (15 ml)                        dill, finely chopped      

 8 oz                          (250 g)                        feta cheese, diced     

     1 tbsp                        (15 ml)                        extra-virgin olive oil         

1 tbsp                        (15 ml)                        fresh lemon juice             

                                  1/2 tsp                       (2 ml)                          finishing salt

                                  1                                                                   small seedless watermelon

1. In a medium bowl, toss the cucumber, feta cheese, dill, lemon juice olive oil and salt together. (now the original recipe says to leave them for 30 minutes, but I only left them for 5 minutes and it still taste great)

2. Meanwhile, make the watermelon cups, each cup should be a 3.5*3.5*3.5 (cm) cube, and finally, just use a spoon to scoop out the middle.

3. Fill the cups with cucumber salad, and server immediately.

4. Eat. 

oh and look how much my tickling buddy loves it :)

Awe, isn't he a cutie~

Saturday Brunch @ Central Bistro

Is it a trend or do food look even better when you put them on the internet? I really don't care.

But you know what grinds my gears?

When I see beautiful people and delicious food and don't know where the hell they are from!

So to make sure that my adorable readers don't feel the same disturbance as I did while reading my rants, I assure you that every picture of food and place and people and things you see, I will tell you where it was taken.

Today (still drunk from last night) me and my tickling buddy went to Central Bistro on Denman and Comox for brunch, and here is what we had.

Croque Monsieur

Scone with whip cream and home made butter

West coast Benny

Central Bistro

My lovely tickling buddy did not offer to share his Croque Monsieur with me, but it's okay, it looks pretty fat and creamy anyways (I don't sound bitter at all). 

And I had the West coast benny with wild smoke salmon. Mine wasn't that fantastic, I need wayyyy more salmon than what they gave me (speaking of Salmon Benny, my personal favour is the twisted fork on Granville street, there is so much salmon in it, that it actually lives up to it's name). 

However, the scone, the scone, omg the scone is unbelievably good, it's soft and moist and a little crunchy and the same time, with some melted chocolate chip in it, and with the whip cream and butter, it's definitely one of  the best scones around!
