How did I get this recipe?

The first time I saw this recipe, I was immediately intrigued. It was a hot summer day and I was visiting my dear friend Margaret. We were sitting on her porch sipping lemonade when she suddenly disappeared into the house. She emerged a few minutes later with a tattered old cookbook in hand.

"Mary, you have to try these Devilish Piggy Wings," she exclaimed, flipping through the pages of the cookbook. "They are absolutely to die for."

I peered over her shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of the recipe. The name itself was enough to pique my interest. Devilish Piggy Wings. It sounded like something sinful and delicious.

Margaret handed me a pen and a notepad. "Here, write down the ingredients. I'll walk you through how to make them."

As I scribbled down the list of ingredients, Margaret regaled me with the story of how she first came across the recipe. It was given to her by an old friend who had learned it from a chef in New Orleans. The recipe had been passed down through generations, each cook adding their own twist to it.

With the ingredients in hand, Margaret showed me how to prepare the marinade for the wings. It was a spicy blend of hot sauce, honey, garlic, and a secret ingredient that Margaret refused to reveal to me.

"This is the key to making the wings truly devilish," she said with a mischievous grin.

As the wings marinated in the spicy concoction, Margaret taught me how to make the accompanying blue cheese dipping sauce. It was a simple mix of blue cheese, sour cream, and a hint of lemon juice. The tangy flavor of the sauce perfectly complemented the heat of the wings.

Once the wings were ready, we fired up the grill and cooked them to perfection. The aroma that wafted through the air was enough to make my mouth water. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into those devilish piggy wings.

As we sat down to eat, Margaret watched me with a twinkle in her eye. I took my first bite and was immediately blown away by the explosion of flavors in my mouth. The spicy marinade paired with the cool, creamy blue cheese sauce was a match made in heaven.

Margaret chuckled as she watched me scarf down the wings with gusto. "I told you they were good," she said with a satisfied smile.

After that day, Devilish Piggy Wings became a staple in my cooking repertoire. I made them for family gatherings, potlucks, and even just for myself on lazy Sunday afternoons. Each time I whipped up a batch, I thought of Margaret and the wonderful day we spent together cooking and eating those delicious wings.

Years passed, and Margaret eventually moved away to be closer to her grandchildren. But the memory of that fateful day on her porch stayed with me. Whenever I made Devilish Piggy Wings, I felt connected to her in some small way.

I continued to experiment with the recipe, adding my own twist to it just like Margaret's friend had done before me. I tried different hot sauces, adjusted the amount of honey, and even threw in some extra spices for good measure. Each variation was delicious in its own right, but nothing could quite compare to the original Devilish Piggy Wings that Margaret had taught me to make.

As I grew older, I passed the recipe down to my own grandchildren. I taught them how to make the marinade, mix up the blue cheese sauce, and grill the wings to perfection. They loved the spicy, tangy flavor of the wings just as much as I did.

And so, the tradition of Devilish Piggy Wings lived on through the generations. Each cook adding their own twist to the recipe, but always staying true to the sinful and delicious flavors that had made it a favorite in our family.

As I sit here now, reflecting on the countless times I've made Devilish Piggy Wings, I can't help but smile. The recipe may have come from a tattered old cookbook and a chance encounter on a hot summer day, but it has become so much more than that to me. It's a reminder of the joy of cooking, the bond between friends, and the simple pleasure of sharing a delicious meal with loved ones.

And so, I will continue to make Devilish Piggy Wings for as long as I am able. Each batch a tribute to Margaret, the friend who introduced me to this wonderful recipe, and a testament to the enduring power of food to bring people together.
