That's an awful lot of facts, but what are buffalo wings like? Are they similar to the ones on pigs?
Congrats to your sister! Great achievement with the Master's Degree! Interesting to compare the two cities; I'd be with you; I couldn't get by with only 54 clear days a year! I like my sun!
betty
Did you get to see Niagara Falls? I love it on the Canada side especially.
Lizy, Buffalo wings are fried chicken wings covered in spicy red pepper sauce. I've never had pig wings; those flying pigs are too hard to catch!
Thanks, Betty. I'm pretty proud of my sis!
Tonja, stop by tomorrow for the answer :-)
As the sister in question, I'd say that while both FC and Buffalo are interesting, my choice would be the Choice. Thanks, Jen, for educating me on some things I didn't know - about both cities!
