After a lengthy hiatus, the Tewksbury Patch food columnist returns.
Hello again my old friends. It's been awhile. I certainly appreciate the niceties and such that I have been receiving during my hiatus. Some family matters, as well as another project and of course the ever expanding Tewksbury Country Club have kept me sooooo busy. I ran into editor extrordinaire Bill Gilman the other day and well here I am. It actually came at a good time because I have something important to say, " WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON WITH CHICKEN WINGS!". Back in the 80's, chicken wings were a byproduct of the huge demand for chicken breasts. As science became more dissecting, the health benefits of this lean protein became immensely popular. Well in order to get a breast you gotta grow the rest of the parts too! Wings where …

Super Bowl Sunday is also a favorite day for a group of dogs up for adoption. The annual Puppy Bowl will air at 3 p.m. on Animal Planet.
Super Bowl XLVII may be coming this Sunday, Feb. 3, but for those families with pets who aren't as interested in watching the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens go head-to-head, there's another sporting event to enjoy. Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX will also take place on Sunday, featuring more than 30 dogs, each available for adoption. New this year, too, will be a group of hedgehogs to cheer on the pups.

Watching the Super Bowl with friends can leave a lot of us feeling like information haves and have-nots. While some of us have been following the teams, their players, strategy, and statistics since the day we were born, others at least know who the quarterbacks are and that they are the ones who throw the ball.

Five Fun Facts About the Super Bowl So who will come out with the title? Finally, here's some actual useful knowledge to have heading into Sunday.

Ok,I don't know about you but I've had it up to the proverbial HERE with all this Super Bowl hype! Brady vs. Manning , Bellicheck vs. Coughlin, yada yada yada. Let the games begin!!! I've got a nice venison roast (Thanks Stan Folta), I've got some jumbo homemade Italian sausages (Thanks Frank Cardilli) and I'm picking up my premium Perdue chicken wings on Saturday. Meat, beer and football, what more could a guy ask for (watch yourself). As a rule I generally keep my favorite recipes to myself and certainly I am bound by honor not to reveal any TCC secrets, but in light of the upcoming Patriots victory, I am about to break my own rule and let you in on a little trick I've been using for about 25 years or so. Rendering, rendering is …

Super Bowl loss did nothing to take away from the accomplishments of a remarkable season.
There are times in life when you'd give anything to be able to be in two places at the same time, and this past weekend was one of those times for me. I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Tampa to watch my daughter's club soccer team compete in the Super-Y National Championships, but at the same time my heart was in Foxboro, rooting for the Tewksbury High football team to pull off yet another monumental upset in the Division 2 Super Bowl. That upset never happened, and even though Saturday evening's final score was not what folks around here had hoped for, I'm still hoping that the players and coaches on the TMHS football team will recognize what they accomplished this fall, and walk around with their heads held high for the rest…
