Carmelized Sweet & Sour Buffallo Wings
It was last weekend that they started to make a path on the frozen lake and ice skating place near the school. There are already many people skiing, skating and enjoying the fresh snow with their family.
While I was dreaming for my favorite celebrity TV chef, the cool Anthony Bourdain to come to Kuopio. He was in Helsinki several days back for his show. But I wasn’t lucky, he didn’t turn up 
Well, life goes on. I still cooked despite the frustration 
I needed something hot and spicy to warm me up and get my brain to work. Especially in the weekend 
I took out some chicken wings and decided to make this. Caramelized sweet and spicy chicken, baked in the oven.
Lovely.
I generously added chilli flakes to coat the chicken wings. You could of course reduce it according to your taste.
This might be quite hot especially for children.
I also prepared some fruit salad to serve along the chicken. I bought several types of colorful fruits to make this.
Avocado, pomegranate, mandarin, grapes, apples… I just couldn’t wait to get started 
I prepared some simple salad dressing and topped it with parmesan cheese.
After lunch, we went out for a short walk on the lake.
Mikael was running and laughing while pulling his sledge around. He was so extremely happy.
It’s getting colder now, reaching -11 C today. It looks like the real winter is finally here
