It's Suspose To Snow

Hopefully before the end of January. I actually am having trouble renting a house because they don't want animals. I have Rene's husband calling on 2 houses to please keep fingers and anything else you can crossed that I get one of these. I wanted to be there already but figured the man above will know when it's the right house.

You'll "get" the right house.
OK, fingers, arms, eyes, legs are crossed!
Ohh...could be a problem when I go sledding. :LOL:

That by now the scientists could have invented WARM snow?? You guys can have MY share this winter. Barb said she wanted to see snow so I sent her some for Christmas..the US postal service messed up I guess and delivered it to all you guys in the south..except her.

Here's a fun tip from the Frozen North..find a big cardboard box,knock it down and go belly-surfing using it for a sled. After a couple trips the run gets real slick and the adventure gets REAL fun. Cheap too. A big inner tube works real well too.:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Can I come?

Hey Deb M. I remember that snow storm of 77. I lived in Buffalo at that time and I was there for the storm. I was a mere 7 or 8 year old.

I love to play in the snow and build a snowman! I would love to go sledding, but I am too big and I will probably brake it. I don't want to hurt the poor dog's back! So I will just go on my belly. I will build snowcats! And an igloo. and make snow angels. And throw snowballs at you guys as you go down the hill.

It might snow during the Olympics and everything is almost blocked.

Alicia - that was the worst storm I have ever lived through. Was a Sr. in college then - dating myself... I know. Hubby and I had just gone grocery shopping before, thank Goodness. Were in Amherst/Williamsville area. How 'bout you?

I used to live around the Cheektowaga area. I have a friend who lives there still. I want to go visit sometime in the near future. I used to live by some apartments called the Keddingtons or something like that. Near a cementary. I used to attend Cleveland Hills Elementary school.

I also know people living in Long Island. They are my stepfather's family. I remember visiting Niagra Falls(I loved it!) I remember getting up in the morning or late at night the tv will be on an the national athem will be playing while scenes of Niagra Falls are shown. I also remember when we go to the store called Tops and you can they give you tickets to horse races. They give you the tickets, then you go home. You watch all the horses and if there is one you think will win, you rub that number. Do they still do that? I also remember how cold it got. That year that it snowed, the snow was up to my head and all the cars were covered up. The windows had to be covered with plastic so the cold won't seep in.

We had moved to Sudbury, Ontario by the time the blizzard of '77 hit. We were north of the snow belt for that one, but I watched it on TV. We had cable because there was just no other way to get more than 3 channels (one in French) so we got several US stations. I remember watching the news from North Tonawanda and Cheektowaga ALL the time! Wow.

My husband's family lives in Holland, south of Buffalo and in Arcade.
MIL lived in Kenmore and we used to have an apt in Tonawanda!!!!!
Used to go to a small Italian Rest in Cheektowaga called Nero's. Great antipasta there. yummy!!

We go back to visit about once a year - just to EAT!

Gotta love the food in Buffalo............

Can't beat those Buffalo Chicken Wings. Thats were they are really from. O sure, I eat chicken wings here, but its not the same as Buffalo's! HOT!!!!!

I can give you the original recipe if you want....used to work at a restaurant out there that made good ones.

The school would hve been Kensington I think! Cleveland Hill
School - I know where that is!!!!! WOWIE!!! Some of hubby's family went there when they were young. I know just where those apartments are!!!!!!!!!

Hey Debbie, Send over the recipe. I am going to buy the chicken.(maybe I will impress my mother who is also a fan of chicken wings)

I remember when I was living there, me and my friend would often go to the pizza place. Charge us only 50 cents for a slice of pizza and a drink. We would play arcade games(they had space invaders then) then eat the pizza. Sometimes we would eat the wings.

Were you ever a fan of the Buffalo Bills? I was! I want to go! Have you been to Niagra Falls? Beautiful place!

BIG Bills fan unti this past season.......treated a few old time players dirty. And Flutie....what can I say? Love the little General!



How about Transit-town Plaza on Main and Transit? And then the big mall went in - what was the name of that? it was HUGE! Oh, It was Eastern Hills Mall....

THE Recipe: sooooooooo easy!

Your wings, cleaned and thawed.
Deep fry till crisp.

While frying the wings........
In a tupperware container, mix the Original Hot Sauce with a tad of melted butter. The more butter, the milder the mixture. Add a few shakes of paprika. When the wings are fried to crispy, drain them and immediately dump then into your container with the sauce. Shake like crazy and dump out on your plate. Serve with celery and Blue Cheese dressing....... YUM YUM !

You will have to experiment with the hot sauce and butter mixture to get the flavor you like the best. For super hot - use no butter at all and add a dash of hot pepper like tabasco too.........

Good luck and let me know what you think!
Chef Deb

What kind of original hot sauce? Tabasco? Or what brand?

I really don't remember the mall or the center of town. I do remember the Tops markets. Or was it Bell? I only lived in Buffalo Until 1982. Then we moved to Utah. It was funny though, because after moving from Buffalo and the big storm, I stayed in Buffalo to finish the school year and there was news that Salt Lake had a big flood! Nothing serious were my parents lived.

OOPS..forgot! I use Frank's original hot sauce......any of your fav's will do though. Tops markets are still around. Also - I think they still do have Bell markets. Sounds familliar. Haven't lived there is a long time though......

CK- FingerLakes are a beautiful area.......

I didn't know Bell's Market was a chain. I used to live off downtown Beverly, MA and I shopped in a Bell's Market and I LOVED it. Between them and the health food store across the street, I could walk to just about any food I wanted. I couldn't believe how varied the selection was at Bell's. But I always thought it was a local one-off kind of thing.
