After some errands, my wife and I decided to have lunch at a place we haven’t been to since the pandemic started. Marlow’s Tavern on Mitchel Hammock Rd in Oviedo, FL is just 20 or so minutes from our house and easy to get to. Parking was a bit tight, but we found a space not too far from the front door. Something I’m starting to see more and more of was also present at Marlow’s. 3 full parking spaces right up front are dedicated to “curbside pick up”, when you factor in the ADA required disabled parking, it doesn’t leave much room for an already crowded lot. I doubt that 3 curbside pick ups and 3 disabled people will all decide to go to Marlow’s in Oviedo at the same time. Oh well, its the way of the world.

Mike’s Famous Buffalo Wings
Although there are several versions of the origin of the buffalo wing, a common ground between each version involves the Bellissimo family and the year 1964. The family owned a small restaurant called Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York (hence the name: buffalo wing).
I have been working on this recipe for many years now. I have taste tested several different versions with my fantasy football league and family members. Many have said these are the best wings they have ever tried. I suppose you will have to be the judge.
John MacArthur’s Church to Receive $800K COVID-19 Settlement
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted to authorize a $400,000 payment to settle a legal battle with Grace Community Church over lead pastor John MacArthur’s defiance of COVID-19 restrictions in the early months of the pandemic.
This agreement, county officials said, was reached in the context of the US Supreme Court’s decision in February that told California it couldn’t enforce a ban on indoor worship because of the coronavirus pandemic. LA County modified its health order and lifted the indoor worship ban after the ruling.

Balsamic Chicken Marinade
This balsamic chicken marinade elevates chicken to a whole new level of YUM! It’s seeping with complex savory, tangy, slightly sweet, herbilicious notes. The marinade is made with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, Italian herbs and seasonings that inject the chicken with loads of effortless flavor. And the best part of this balsamic chicken marinade? It does ALL THE work! Come dinner time, just cook the chicken (grill, oven and stove methods included) and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus or in salads, wraps, pasta, or sandwiches.
Balsamic is one of my favorite ingredients to use in chicken marinades! I’ve used it in my Greek chicken and Bruschetta chicken for its fruity tang, mellow tartness and rich, complex sweetness. Today, however, I’m excited to bring you this balsamic chicken marinade dedicated ALL to glorious balsamic. It creates chicken dripping with so much intoxicating flavor you will be obsessed. It’s savory, fruity, juicy, tender and goes with practically everything!
