True story or not, the whole cherry tree story made me think about how much I love cherries…and, of course, In the Curious Kitchen Boozy Cherries.

And you seriously cannot have a Super Bowl Party without wings! I am taking a little curious twist with my wings and making In the Curious Kitchen Hot Pepper Jelly Chicken Wings. I have recently added Hot Pepper Jelly to my online shop and it has been a big seller—just as it is at market! People tell me that they keep a jar or two in their pantry just because it is truly one of the most versatile ingredients and if you are in a pinch, you can always just spread it on top of a block of cream cheese and serve it with just about any cracker you have on hand!

But give these Hot Pepper Jelly Chicken Wings a try. The recipe is super easy and super delish! Your wings will be a little sweet, sticky with a slight kick and a whole lot of sass!

The Manhattan. I made one the other evening and shared it with my social media friends. I was just in a Manhattan kind of mood, I guess. Now do not fear…I am not giving up my perennial favorite The Old Fashioned, but it is good to switch it up every now and again. They are actually quite similar—a bit like fraternal twins. They have basically the same ingredients but they are oh so different. I really cannot explain it. The Manhattan is like The Old Fashioned’s sophisticated, hipper, and dare I say, sexier sister!
