This cat sure can play the box. :)
If you love Buffalo chicken wings, you are going to love this healthier version. Simple to make Grilled Buffalo Chicken Strips are coated with a buttery hot sauce before briefly cooking on the BBQ. Very delicious served with a dollop of blue cheese sauce.
I paired the chicken with this terrific Sweet And Spicy Asian Slaw. Fresh tasting, crunchy and light it is a wonderful side dish for any grilled food.

Continuing in my year of retro concert attendance (saw Jefferson Starship and The Fixx), tonight it’s The Psychedelic Furs.
Honestly, when a big name band comes to Tupelo Hall here in Vermont, it is hard not to go. Typically I have to haul off to Boston or Burlington (or Portland, Oregon) to see my favorite bands or really any group worth going to.
Tupelo is an intimate venue and I’ve got 2nd row seats (if I can stay seated), so I am really looking forward to getting my 80’s groove on.
Here is a quiet, and quite nice, cover of Pretty In Pink.
Check out The Way It Is on Bandcamp, where you can buy the music.
Cheers!
