Hooters Wings! Nope! Hooters Wangs

So I'm sitting at work and thinking, I'm really in the mood for some homemade hot wings. Now even though I throw down in the kitchen, I have not mastered frings Wings....Until...Lastnight. Okay just a little about myself. I am starting a YouTube Channel "Simply Me"... It's a food channel geared towards busy people wanting good home-cook food but not having the home-cook time.
With that said, I love to make great food as simple as possible.
Again like my Blog on how to make Gumbo on a budget. I am making this blog because my cousin Attorney Charles requested I do a blog on these Wangs......
Yes Wangs. These Wangs are Hooters inspired with a Chinese twist.
You will need.

*A package of whole wings
*Hooters flour
*1 tbsp of red pepper Cayenne
*1 tbsp of Sweet Paprika (doesn't have to be sweet)
*2 tbsp season salt
*Crisco grease (the way Grandmama Lola did it)
*Frank's Hot Sauce
* The Star ingredient Red Pepper Jelly (Located in jelly aisle)

*half stick of butter

First off, grab those Wings and clean them. After they are clean. Cut wings where u have drummers and Wings.
The reason why I rather whole wings then splitting them is because it's cheaper and for some reason when I have bought Wings in the pass, the quality was fatty.
Now that you have the Wings cleaned and chopped. In a bowl with top, mix all dry ingredients. Place top on bowel and shake, to make sure everything is equally combined.
Next take those dry clean Wings and place in dry ingredients. Close top and shake that bowl.
It's very important that you follow the next step.
Remove wings from flour and place in a pan big enough to hold your wings without placeing on top of each other. Once they are placed on plate, place in frig for 30 min to and 1 hour.
This allows coating to be well Incorporated on the chicken when you place in grease, your ending result will be Coated, flavorful and Crispy.
While wings are chilling lol, get a sauce pan mix all wet ingredients including Butter and Jelly. HALF CONTAINER OF JELLY, UNLESS YOU WANT IT SWEETER THEN NORM..
Once it has been 30 min,Open up that crisco and Spoon it in a Deep pot (I don't have a fryer)
Once you see grease popping a little, place one wing in grease to see if it's ready to fry those babies. The way you can tell it's ready is by the bubbles that are forming around chicken. It should be a nice consistent pattern of bubbles. IF! ITS MAKING GREASE GO CRAZY, REMOVE POT FROM BURNER AND ALLOW GREASE TO COOL. TURN DOWN BURNER AND TRY AGAIN.LOL.
Now that you have the grease right. Place about 6 wings in pot. Overcrowded Pot will not allow chicken to fry properly.
Once first Bash is done (Only should cook 8to 10 min once a light golden brown)
Pour your Wangs sauce in another Pyrex bowl.
I'm sorry only cook sauce until it comes to a boil. Then remove.
Combine Wings to Sauce , Close  the Bowl and shake. Remove wings from sauce and place in a Clean pan.
Repeat last steps until.you have completed all wings.
Then Final Step
Very important
The Last and final Step!
Eat the flesh out them boys!!! Lol! Okay maybe not flesh but Enjoy them Wangs....

EXPOSE I SUPPOSE: You Chose

EXPOSE I SUPPOSE: You Chose: I was wondering how powerful a choice is. Do you know? Well I come to realize that its on the top of the most important things in life. Your...

Religious Folks (Please have a seat some where)

Church Folks: People who attend church but church don't attend them.

Matthew 5:47

And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

 

Matthew 6:1-34                “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

So now anybody who reads my Blog knows that I am motivated to talk about my topics. That is the key of a successful Blog. If its no passion in your writing then, its not juicy......
With that said.
WILL THE HOLYIER THEN THOU WOMAN, PLEASE SIT THE HECK DOWN....

I would really like to end this blog with just that sentence but.....I'm sure you want to know what I mean, just for my readers who are not up to knowledge of the Church slang. Okay I'm so tired (yawwwnnnnn) of the loud people who want to be seen before the church and heard but living another life....Who are you fooling boo boo? Not me and surely not God. He spoke about you people in the bible.
Don't think because you do a Religious cause that God didn't even Call you to do, that you have a seat in heaven.
He even told Martha that "All that not even necessary",
Luke 10:38-42Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

Mary and Martha

³⁸ While Jesus and his followers were traveling, he went into a town, and a woman named Martha let him stay at her house. ³⁹ She had a sister named Mary. Mary was sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to him teach. ⁴⁰ But her sister Martha was busy doing all the work that had to be done. Martha went in and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
⁴¹ But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are getting worried and upset about too many things. ⁴² Only one thing is important. Mary has made the right choice, and it will never be taken away from her.”.......


He just wanted her to come and enjoy his company. Sometime God just want you to come into the church and enjoy his presences and then maybe you can be Healed from your Hatred and Messiness.

Matthew 6:1-34

 

I'm sorry but I'm so tired of church folks.

One day you tell a testimony about how good God is and how you not the same...But....Its hard for you to sincerely give the person next to you a hug.

 

 

Matthew 23:13-15                “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.

 

 

 

 

But really the ones that cant wait to get with another Bench Warmer and Gossip......

 

I wonder...... When you get finished talking about Brother and Sister so and so, do you take half of the time to talk your self in to Hell, with the other one.....Did yall think to pray for He or She?

I answer that NOPE! N if you did, nine time out of ten it was like this. 

 

Luke 18:10-20Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)¹⁰ “One time there was a Pharisee and a tax collector. One day they both went to the Temple to pray. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood alone, away from the tax collector. When the Pharisee prayed, he said, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not as bad as other people. I am not like men who steal, cheat, or commit adultery. I thank you that I am better than this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of everything I get!’
¹³ “The tax collector stood alone too. But when he prayed, he would not even look up to heaven. He felt very humble before God. He said, ‘O God, have mercy on me. I am a sinner!’ ¹⁴ I tell you, when this man finished his prayer and went home, he was right with God. But the Pharisee, who felt that he was better than others, was not right with God. People who make themselves important will be made humble. But those who make themselves humble will be made important.”......

Welp all that I can say is that, Watch yourself...........(IF YOU GET MAD, IM SURE IM TALKING TO YOU, BUT UNLIKE YOU, ALL I DO IS PRAY FOR YOU PEOPLE)

Comfortable being comfortable

So, if most of us would admit it, we are not okay with being comfortable. We think if we let an issue go or say bye to someone we don't really need in our life, that we will possibly lose someone or let go of something. Well, that's the purpose suga. Lol.
Okay I still haven't explained myself. Okay example (always put myself on blast) I used to be and sometime struggle with allowing God to move me out of a situation that's not good for me.I feel as though if I move away then I will be forgotten.....
We all struggle or have struggled with this fear of being forgotten or not being needed when in reality, We never was needed but we forced ourselves into unhealthy situations for the sake of trying to get in.
I have tried to get in all my life to the fact that when I didn't fit and had absolutely no drama in my life, I was completely uncomfortable being comfortable because I tricked my mind to think, if I'm not involved then I'm worthless.
But now I notice that when I'm not involved and void myself from people and things, as in not making an opportunity for myself to feel worthless, I am OK with being OK. II  comfortable with being comfortable.
Now my symptoms were bad.
I would get upset every time I logged into fb and see the front of people. it's easy to post a happy face but not easy to be transparent.
So I deactivated my account.
As we all do at times.
I became solo. I found out that spending time with me is way more interesting then spending time with people.
These are just two things I have done, now I have activated my fb page and you can request to be my friend (Yvonne Sherrel Thompson)but I don't browse fb.
My life shouldn't revolve around what others have ate today. Even thought sometimes it's interesting but I myself can't handle it.
My life is consisting on Yvonne loving Yvonne and Being Comfortable being Comfortable! Yvonne Loves Yvonne, and I love you aswell lol. Chow

Hate me? Great, I must be doing something right.

So,
I was just sitting here in my office thinking to my self. I am 30 years old and I have not made a name for myself in History. Growing up I never ever felt normal, I just knew that I will do something remarkable to be known world wide. I wasn't the cutest girl in school with the big boobs, big butt, long hair and when I was coming up everyone wanted a yellow bone. So I saw myself the way others "I thought" saw me. I was quite and to myself. Through life I just didn't fit in anywhere not just at school but everywhere (mall, collage, church, etc.). I had a hard time making friends and keeping them. Relationships would start off great then next thing I know, I wasn't liked by her anymore. So this type of thing just kept happening, so I ask God in a journal to him, why don't no one like me. Its easy for me to Love people, to encourage people, but I don't get it back at me. Lord What is up?
I know in your word you said "They will hate you, like they hated me".
I still didn't listen. So I continue to email, text, etc, email, text, email, text, email,,,,,,,, until I literally drove myself crazy. I stop being able to sleep, my mind wouldn't stop, I was yelling, I hated myself, I started doing things I shouldn't been doing, I used to ask my husband , "Baby what did I do to these crazy, low self-esteem, back stabbing woman, that they don't like me!"
My husband would say "Baby, you know you don't be doing anything, you don't hangout with people to gossip, you are nice, you pray for them, you bend over backward just to give a compliment, and you actually are genuine. If they don't like you then they are missing out, you have 2 sons, 1 on the way, and Me, what else do you need". Still
I didn't listen to him. I was messing up my marriage. I was so bitter inside, The people that I thought I could trust and I'm talking about older people that you think would be done with all the silly games, Started showing there true colors. So now I am mad because these woman that calls there selves "Christians", go behind my back and talk. And How do I know, Because I am chosen and God tells me stuff that I try not to hear and have closed my ears to all my life.
So I'm in my car and I HAVE A BREAKDOWN, I yell "LORD WHY ME". He says to me. "Because I love you and have so much in store for you, I cant keep people around you that will stop my plans I have for you. I am tired of people being Religious and trying to Pimp me. They call me when they need me, then when I answer they go right back. I want allow you to fail me. Once I put you on, there will be no turning back. You been hurt, you been lied on, you been betrayed, and you are broken right now. But all of this is for my Glory. I want you to be so fed up that you want take no more of the enemy mess. You win! He lose. R U READY?" and I said "Yes".
Its my time, God has humbled me,  So now I am on the road to Glory  and I aint letting no Judas in hell Stop me. You can love me or move around, but I am finally going to be who God has called me to be. I realize that if someone is liked by everyone then something is just not right.

Matthew 10:22 "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

AND THATS WHAT JESUS SAID HIMSELF!!!!

"LAWYER" STATUS MEAL WITH A $25 BUDGET

BRRRRRRRRRR....... ITS COLD OUT SIDE. Well at least that's what my cousin in pre-law text me this morning. His exact Text was "{We are going to get snowed/iced in. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE GUMBO}". So here we go Jamaal, I am finally releasing my recipe for my Famous "Its cold out there but Hot in here" Gumbo. First you will need to make sure you have the basic seasoning that every household should have off the back, so there is no purchase required.

This should make a 12 bowl serving( should last You 3 days, however I'm not big on eating the same thing twice lol, it gets me the chance to cook again)

Pantry Seasoning (no purchase hopefully)

1 teaspoon of Accent (Flavor enhancer )

4 tablespoons of Lawry's Seasoning Salt (its the best, but use whatever brand you chose)

1 teaspoons of salt

3 tablespoons of Pepper ( Yes pepper jamaal lol)

2 teaspoons of Cayenne pepper

1 teaspoons of Garlic salt

2 teaspoons of onion powder

2 tablespoons of Smoked Paprika

(If you want to go ahead and mix all seasoning together , go right ahead)

Here's a short cut only for those on the go folks. Just pick up a rotisserie chicken from your favorite neighborhood grocery store already prepared and shred it to pieces.

Things you will need from the store.

1 Shredded Chicken (cooked) $6

13oz Smoked Beef sausage or Turkey (Say No to Pork) $2.30

1 package of previously frozen or 1 lb of fresh Cod (which ever you prefer, frozen is but cost more) $ 7

Diced Slamon (for seafood taste, located in seafood market) $7

.5 small package Frozen sliced Okra (rather you like it or not its what makes the gumbo, you want taste)$1

1 chopped small Fresh Onion (just suck it up and chop, its better then frozen but its up to you) .85

2 Jalapeno pepper (or 1) $.15

1 Green Bell pepper chopped $.99

2 Chicken Broth Box's or 4 Can of chicken stock $5

1 cup of Water

2 8 oz cans of Sweet Corn $3
1 Box of Zatarains Gumbo Base (don't accidentally get Gumbo Mix) $1.39

Okay First, slice the smoked sausage into small circle pieces and brown in skillet. Remove Sausage from skillet. In the same skillet put onions and bell peppers, the natural grease from the sausage should be enough to cook semi-caramelize the onion and pepper. Remove the onion and pepper form skillet and place in a stock pot on medium heat (pot big enough to put all ingredients inside). Clean the Skillet and clean all areas that was messed up (You will thank me later) :-). 

Now in the pot you put the onion mixture in add the chicken, sausage, seasoning mix, okra, jalapenos, corn. Now add the chicken broth, water, and Zaterains gumbo mix. Now allow to Cook for 1 to 2 hours on low-med, stirring often. 20 min before you complete cooking add cod and salmon (I hate for shrimp to be over cooked). Add seasoning if needed (I suggest season salt because salt tends to be to salty)

You Chose

I was wondering how powerful a choice is. Do you know? Well I come to realize that its on the top of the most important things in life. Your choice determines everything. It is the gasoline to every decision you make. Every emotion you have. Every place you go. Who you chose to love. What you eat or drink. It is also the beginning and the end of your destination, while your alive and after you leave this earth.
Alot of people have high blood pressure. I am one to believe that it started with a choice. Why ever the condition begun, its because of what you decided to do, From eating a slice of cake everyday to deciding to allow that man work your nerve.
Lets step back a bit, What do I mean about the beginning and the end of your destination. Well, Sin and Truth starts with a choice. You make a choice
to sin, or you make a choice to live in the truth(God Will). Rather you chose a sinful life style that leads you to hell or a Godly life style that leads you to Heaven, it is all a choice.
So the advice I have for you is, make the choice that will benefit you and not the enemy.
Love............
