Movies 2023

 2/17 Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania...wasn't as good as the 1st 2 films but I enjoyed it and I loved Kathryn Newton as the new Cassie Lang

3/10 65...watched it on streaming...Adam Driver played a space pilot from a distant planet who crash lands on Earth....65 million years ago...not long before the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs hit. He and the lone survivor among his passengers, a little girl who doesn't share his language, must escape the planet while escaping the dinosaurs....I thought it was pretty well done

3/17 Shazam Fury Of The Gods...watched it on streaming and it was mostly forgettable

5/5 Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3...If you saw it and didn't love it, I question if you have a soul

6/16 The Flash...better than I expected but still extremely flawed...Michael Keaton and Sasha Callie were great in their roles but Ezra Miller wasn't believable

6/30 Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny..obviously not as good as the 1st trio of movies but far superior to the Crystal Skull movie...I liked it better than Temple Of Doom myself

7/21 Barbie...watched it on streaming and it was silly...but it also had a good message behind it...to not let yourself be defined by your relationships, your job, or how others see you

9/18 Blue Beetle..watched it on streaming and it was actually one of the better DCEU movies introducing Jamie Reyes and his family

11/10 The Marvels...loved it....gave us a look at what Carol Danvers was doing between leaving Earth in the 90s and coming back after Fury paged her...brought her and Lt Trouble back together and brought Kamala Khan and her family out of New Jersey and into the greater MCU

12/22 Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom...while it wasn't on the level of the original...which was the 2nd best of all DCEU films..it was still outstanding but I do hope that deleted scenes are released when the movie comes to streaming because Mera and Atlanna barely showed up in the movie that showed up in theaters

Wing sauces

When I first discovered wings, I was eating butter and garlic primarily but soon graduated to medium and eventually started cooking my own. I haven't ordered out for wings since before I went into the service and generally make my own sauce....just Frank's, butter, and garlic powder. When Wingfest started in 2002, I started experiencing a wider variety of sauces and the best I ever had was the Buffalo Bliss from Parrot's Cay in Grand Forks, ND but I haven't had those since late 2014. In late 2021, I decided to start getting other wing sauces from the store to check out different flavors. I make wings once a week usually so I've been making some with my regular sauce and some with a store bought sauce. I'll be updating this as I review new sauces


Sweet Baby Ray's was just ok...nothing special about it
2 1/2 wings out of 5



Outstanding! Good zing but not overpowering the excellent flavor
5 wings



Also outstanding. A little stronger zing than the Frank's but doesn't overpower the flavor...not as garlicy as the Frank's
4 1/2 wings



Surprisingly is very good and thick so it sticks to the wing. Stronger zing to it than the above but a little less flavor
4 wings
