It's Draft Day! (Finally.) What are we eating/drinking?

Beezer : 4/26/2018 8:10 am
And what are your plans?

In our house it feels like Christmas. Well, maybe not Christmas but a HUGE day for my son and I. Has been that way for years.

With the wife and daughter out and about tonight, I think we'll partake of the best wings in town - takeout from The Old Union Hotel on Clinton Street in The Bing (award-winners, even in Buffalo contests).

May have to get a few bottles of Ommegang. Haven't decided which direction there, just yet. And to cleanse the pallet, some crystal-clear Rolling Rock.

Glued to the TV.

Watcha got going, BBI?

Going out to bar with buddies.

Drinking IPAs & eating wings. It should be a good time.
well since I'll be in my son's little league dugout

I better only be drinking gatorade or water, but I'll definitely be having the watchESPN app on my phone going...My daughter will be texting me either a lot of smile or frown emoji's based on who we pick (She's a big take the QB girl)
Having a few people over

I can't remember seeing it in the store in years.

Ever figure out what the 33 means?
Took the day off

Gonna play golf for the first time this year in the Northeast later this AM...probably go home cook up something healthy like grilled chicken...turn on NFLN with a couple of beers and turn it off shortly thereafter in disappointment when they pass on a QB.

I'm watching my weight after some medication issues so I'm going to the fish monger to get some seafood to grill up for tonight because my diet is going to hit the dumper at the concert. No beer just unsweetened iced tea with lime.

And dep happy first to your daughter
Thanks  
dep026 : 4/26/2018 8:41 am : link
guys!

By the way, she wants Sam Darnold too.
The go to drink will depend on the #2 pick.  
Miami_JintsFan : 4/26/2018 8:42 am : link
A nice wine predraft. The hard stuff if the Giants screw up 2.
Rolling Rock.  
Beezer : 4/26/2018 8:46 am : link
Underrated. And absolutely still a thing.
Apparently the Rolling Rock 33 remains a mystery. - ( New Window )
firing up the smoker

Last time I smoked wings I also decided to make candied bacon.

I put the wings on the bottom grate, candied bacon on the top. All I had on the wings was a dry rub.

Anyway, maybe you can see where this is going, but i didn't, as the bacon smoked and the honey/brown sugar/other spices on the bacon carmelized it dripped down on the wings.

The result was incredible. People have been begging me to make those wings again (and of course the bacon is delicious).

I think this is sort of how peanut butter cups were invented.

Anyway, thought I'd share, because I'm sadly not using the smoker tonight.

pat dry the wings and crumble brown sugar over them until the brown sugar starts to break down into a sticky consistency. Use a rub of your choice, I make one with brown sugar, sea salt, pepper, paprika, minced onion, celery seed, and cayenne pepper. Smoke between 250-275 (if it encroaches on 300 for a bit that's okay because it'll help render the fat of the skin down and help make them a little crispier) for about 90 minutes. Mop the glaze over the wings and let them smoke for another 30 minutes.

Glaze is really simple: 2 cups sriracha 1 cup real maple syrup and 1/4 cup of brown sugar, obviously adjustbale to taste.
