 Joseph, with Jesus and Mary, you knew hunger, uncertainty, and illness.You turned your heart to God to lift up your needs and those of your family.In faith you accepted the Father’s response as events unfolded.Be with me today as I offer my requests to the Father.Joseph, let me recognize God’s will as I open my hands to accept what God bestows in loving kindness.With tenderness, God fills creation with life and love.Open my eyes to the wonders that God works without ceasing.Let me learn the true intention behind my request so that I may discoverwithin myself the lowly one that God commends. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: BUFFALO WINGS Ingredients: Chicken8-10 or so chicken wings, drumettes and wingettes1/2 cup flour1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder3/4 teaspoon saltOil for frying – 2 cups or so, enough to cover wings Homemade hot sauceThe hot sauce is a “taste as you go” recipe, so do just that, adding more of any ingredient.2/3 cup hot pepper sauce8 tablespoons butterUp to 2 tablespoons clear vinegar – start with 11/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder1/8 teaspoon garlic powderSalt BONUS RECIPE: Homemade Blue cheese dip 1 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup sour cream1/4 cup buttermilk3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (6 oz)1 generous tablespoon minced garlic2 teaspoons minced green onionPepper to tastePalmful fresh minced parsley (opt)Few drops hot sauce (opt)GarnishCelery and carrot sticks Instructions: Chicken:Whisk together flour, paprika, cayenne and salt.Sprinkle over chicken wings in big bowl and toss to coat evenly.
