Time to eat 100 million pounds of wings

Whether you call them Buffalo wings, hot wings, party wings, wing things or just plain old chicken wings, Americans love these little appetizers, especially when watching the Super Bowl. According to the National Chicken Council, about 1.25 billion chicken wing portions — more than 100 million pounds of chicken wings — will be consumed by enthusiastic football fans this weekend as part of festivities. Cooked wings in grocery stores cost about $5 per pound, according to information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service. While fresh, whole wings and individually quick-frozen wings average around $2 per pound. For recipes go to http://www.eatchicken.com.

Secret recipes see the light of day at last

Families from around the world divulge the secrets to their favorite recipes in Secret Recipes: More than 280 Cherished Recipes From Around the Globe, the fourth cookbook in the popular Worldwide Ward cookbook series. To be included in the new book (Covenant Communications, $21.99), each recipe had to either contain a secret ingredient, use a secret process or just be a favorite recipe that has never been shared before, said author Deanna Buxton. The book includes 200 recipes including a wheat bread that contains tomato juice; a pot roast cooked in root beer, a well-loved salad from an English pub and the lemon bar trifle, published here at left. While this is Buxton's fourth book, she said it was one of her favorites to compile. "I love to read what ridiculously clever secrets people have when it comes to sharing food with each other," she said. Secret Recipes will be available in March at Desert Book, Seagull book and Costco.
