Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner. If you are planning a Super Bowl party, I thought I would share a great recipe for Hot Wings with a twist.
Just click play for the Chuncheon Hot Wings recipe.
Tammy, the young lady in the video, is my daughter-in-law. Tammy has placed a twist on a Korean dish by incorporating it with the new American tradition of Hot Wings.
Tammy says that the sauce is a staple in every Korean home and that every Korean housewife in Kangwon-do has her own variation.
I hope you enjoy these tasty wings as much as I do.

Anchorage sponsored a celebration which included a fireworks display, following a cauldron lighting and a full day of musical entertainment. U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, Governor Sarah Palin and outgoing Mayor Mark Begich all addressed the crowds that gathered to participate.
The Anchorage Daily News has posted several interesting articles as a “Countdown to Statehood” feature. This week’s article talks about the 50 years of change Alaska has experienced as a state and the many benefits Alaskans have received. The article discusses how different life might be if Alaska never became a state.
I found the article quite interesting and in some ways enlightening so I will share it with you here.
Here is to the next 50 years!
