oh my, this sounds wonderful! I cannot wait to try it, though it will be at least a week. I am glad we have plenty of time until the review.

I can't wait to try this. I also just got some great blue cheese at the grocery store. They have started to sell chunks of cheese from their cheese department for .99 cents when it is about to expire.
Good for me!

Having made this, I'll be anxious to see what everyone thinks.

Same here, Sharon. The problem is that so many non-wing, "Buffalo" recipes, although very tasty, don't really taste like Buffalo WINGS. I can't tell you how many "Buffalo-chicken sandwiches" I've had that were not even close. In fact, the only one that was spot on didn't even use the word "Buffalo" anywhere in the title or description - it was a sandwich from Orlando Ale House chain called "Big Red," and it totally rocked where none of the ones that used "Buffalo" in their names could measure up. I hope this one will reverse the trend, but I know I'll probably still love it, anyway.
