Cottage Maintenance
For the last few years we’ve spent a week at Euince’s cottage on the French River. An hour north of Parry Sound, the drive isn’t short but it’s the road less traveled once you get out of Barrie. One of my favourite parts of coming up here is that Euince shares the cottage chores with her friends and family.

Following the Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wing Recipe from All Recipes with a couple minor modifications, I made the best wings, with a light crispy skin and a delicious sauce with a hint of curry.
