Quest for the Best – Wings

I think I have found the best wings in the city, but if someone gives me someone they like, of course, I will try. So, my neighbor told me about the smoked wings at DBA BBQ.

I ordered the Buffalo Wings….wings-2

Smoked wings in buffalo sauce. The problem is, they just poured the sauce over them. I wish they had “sauced ” them all over. They are very good, just not the best. I will keep looking.

My favorite still stand at Napoleon’s the Buffalo Smoked wings are the best in town.

I love Autumn, but it is supposed to get chilly and windy and I am afraid we will lose the beauty!

I love it and so does Bradley Cooper…img_7866

So my question is, if there is this much beauty in the world to look at and get lost in why worry about the little things that just are irritating?

Always Rescue Pets

I am such a strong believer in rescuing pets instead of purchasing. Definitely do not buy from a pet shop….They usually get their pets from puppy mills. A lot of breeders are reputable. The problem is there are so many great dogs out there that need homes.

My first dog was an english springer spaniel, Petey.photo-4 I bought her from a friend, as a puppy. She was a great dog, very hyper, but sweet. She had 13 puppies. We named all the females after presidents wives. Nancy was the runt. I kept Martha for a while. She was beautiful, but she thought her name was Bad Dog.

My second dog was part Spitz part Corgi, a short long white dog, Navin Johnson. My best friend’s husband found him in a field. IMG_0742.jpg

The Sweetest boy ever! Yes, I have no idea what kind of life he had before I got him but I wouldn’t trade our time for anything!

Now I have Bradley Cooper, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the apple of my eye. IMG_3876

His owner had to go into assisted living and couldn’t take him. He is super smart and so very sweet! He is so funny. He is my best buddy!

So, here it is, you can rescue a pure breed, you can rescue a mutt, but know this, they will be the best dog/friend ever!

Supermoon

It is very hard to photograph the moon. It always appears smaller than you think it will. The SuperMoon is super close to the earth.This is the largest moon since 1948, or the largest it has looked.

By the light, by the light of the silvery moon of the moon of the moon. The next time the moon will come this close is Nov. 25, 2034.

Bradley Cooper grew impatient waiting on the front porch.

Hope everyone got a glimpse tonight!

Yeah Burger

unknown This was my first visit to Yeah! Burger, I might have a new favorite burger in town. Holman and Finch burger was my favorite, but today’s burger might change that. I will have to try another visit though.

You can order the kind of meat you would like grain fed beef, or bison, turkey, chicken or two different veggie burgers. You pick your own bread, but the white or whole wheat are Holman and Finch breads, which really make a huge difference. Pick your condiments, and they offer a lot of different sauces and such. Then it’s toppings, like lettuce tomatoes and pickles. You can add bacon or avocado and others. Oh, you can pick your own cheese too.

I picked the grain fed beef on whole wheat with white cheddar, ketchup and yellow mustard, dill pickles, bibb lettuce and tomatoes, everything is organic. You get to pick the temperature of your meat too, I choose medium.  I picked 50/50 half fries and half onion rings.images

The burger was out of this world. The meat was cooked perfectly and it meshed with all the ingredients. Just the perfect amount of ketchup and mustard. The pickles threw it over the top! But wait, the fries are also the best I have had in a long time. (Yes, the onion rings were great too,)

If the excellent food wasn’t enough the service was outstanding. Super super nice.

Please give it a try and let me know your feelings….
