Show Page 14 NORTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS Thursday, October 23, 2008 Emily Marlowe NORTH COUNTY STAFF . I am not one for surprises. I love to plan and look forward to days, events and things. I do not enjoy someone else planning a vacation for me, packing my undies, my personal per-sonal items and throwing in a few outfits. I want to plan my wardrobe, buy a new swimsuit and pack a few extras. I like to know a week ahead of time if my husband has planned a surprise date it gives me something to look forward to all week long. It makes me feel excited inside, and I love my husband more that week than I would the day of the surprise. It is kind of a win-win situation; my husband gets praised all week for thinking think-ing ahead, and I get to feel excitement. This past week I had been gone one morning and well into the afternoon. I pulled up in our driveway and our youngest daughter came running run-ning up to the car with a smile that would melt a snowman on a cold winter's day. She said, "Mom, we have a Valentine surprise for you out back, take my hand." AU of my family knows that Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday of the year, so they figured that might make me like my surprise sur-prise a bit more. I took my daughter's hand reluctantly, because I knew my husband was out in the backyard of our home, and was in on this "Valentine surprise." sur-prise." Our children led me down the hill on the side of our home and to my surprise my husband had built a shed. Yes, a shed. I was not sure whether to throw my arms around him or step back for fear that it may fall on our children and myself. I may complain a bit too much. My husband knows I am a bit obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleanliness and organization. I had been Bill likes the local sports coverage. Miranda wants to hear what's going on around town.

Put the wings into a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture mix-ture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried. ) This is not necessary, but a good step to do. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely an inch or so deep at least. Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended. Put all the wings into the hot oil and fry them for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove the wings from the oil to a cooling rack lines with a paper towel to drain. Place wings in a large container. Add the hot sauce and stir or shake, coating all the wings evenly. Serve wings hot and do not let them sit too long. complaining for six months since we bought our third car that there was no room in the garage for our vehicles, the children's "vehicles," the four wheelers and all of my husband's junk or should I say all of his prized possessions? posses-sions? I complained that the winter was coming too fast and I would not have all of our things sitting out back, rusting in the snow. So, for the past month, every Friday while I have been away my husband has been building a shed under our porch. He knew his secret se-cret would be safe, because I would not step foot out back to look at all of the junk. I stand on our upper deck and admire our beautiful view. I do not need to go out back on ground level, ever. The biggest surprise was that our children did not spill the beans, not even a little. I was shocked. David did a wonderful job.

This was a surprise that I was grateful to have. I would not mind having a surprise like this again. Thanks to the wonderful husband I have. He is kind, caring, understanding, funny, honest, patient, positive and gentle, but most of all I found out that he has a talent for building things. I will have no worries throughout the winter about our things getting ruined, ru-ined, maybe just the shed falling fall-ing in. I love you, Honey. For all the hard work my husband did this past month, this week I will be making his favorite recipe. I hope you will try it to. Until next week's batter chatter, may you find a hidden talent that you are not aware you have, or the one's around you have.
