Easy ways to make Buffalo Chicken Wings (with Recipe)

Everyone is a little edgy. Being in quarantine isn’t really helping our overactive brains and our cravings aren’t helping either. But we have to do our part and stay at home.

One good thing that this quarantine brings is we all get to be a chef. You can fulfill your buffalo chicken wings craving by dishing out the pan and following these very simple instructions.

These buffalo wings are easy to make which is an advantage to beginners for they are not battered or breaded. They are fried naked and then mixed with a simple combination of hot sauce, butter, and vinegar.

An hour at the most and you’ll have the mouth-watering buffalo chicken wings for yourself and for your family.

Ingredients:

  • 8 chicken wings
  • 1-L oil (canola, vegetable, peanut, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank’s or Louisiana)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon distilled vinegar

Easy Steps to Make Buffalo wings

  1. Gather the ingredients. You can adjust the measurements in proportion to the chicken you have.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they fry up crispy. This will also lessen the spatter from water hitting the hot oil.
  3. Heat a considerable amount of oil in a saucepan.
  4. Meanwhile, combine hot sauce, butter, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until the butter melts.
  5. Adjust the heat of the sauce if it gets too hot. Taste the sauce and feel free to add more butter, a little water, some brown sugar or if you want it hotter, add more hot sauce.
  6. When the oil is hot enough, fry the wings in two or three batches for 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Give the oil time to reheat before frying the next batch for the oil to stay hot enough and the wings to come out crispy.
  7. Mix the wings in a bowl with the warm sauce.

6 Must-Watch Movies on Netflix this Holy Week

This week, we are celebrating the Holy Week and as a Christian nation, we are expected to practice and carry on traditions observed during this week. This includes the Palm Sunday where churchgoers carry palms to be blessed, Visita Iglesia where devout Christians would go around church to church as an expression of their faith and so many more.

But with the enhanced community quarantine, it seems that we are refrained to do such tradition. In the comfort of our homes, we can still “nurture our Christian souls” by reading the Bible, meditating and sometimes, watch Holy Week-inspired movies. Here are some of them:

1. The Two Popes

Based in real life events, this movie chronicles the events that transpired when Pope Benedict and future Pope Francis find common ground, forging a new path for the Catholic Church. With veterans Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this biographical drama is an informative and grasping treat.

2. Noah

Based on the Biblical epic we all famously grew up with, this film adaptation tells the story of Noah and how he was chosen by God to build a “new world” as mankind has grown too sinful. The film stars Russel Crowe with the likes of Emma Watson in supporting roles.

3. Miracles from Heaven

They say that there’s nothing like a mother’s love, and in this film, devoted mom Christy relentlessly searches for a way to cure her daughter who is suffering from a rare and incurable disorder. This tearjerker stars Jennifer Garner with Queen Latifah in a supporting role.

4. Nothing to Lose

Nothing to Lose tells the life of Edir Macedo, the founder and self-appointed bishop of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God and the adversities that challenged his faith. The film is also based on Macedo’s biographical trilogy which sold 7 million copies worldwide.

5. Unbroken

Based on the life of USA Olympian Jack O’Connell, the movie tells his story on how he enlisted for World War II, becoming a POW under the Japanese army and the struggles he faced during that time. This war film was directed and produced by Angelina Jolie.

6. Footprints: The Path of Your Life

How far would you go for the pursuit of finding yourself? 10 daring souls braved walking 500 miles for 40 days in an ancient path, little did they know that the elements and their own selves can be the greatest challenge.

The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) truly affects everyone, no matter the race, age, pets, and now even endangering the wildlife creatures.

Nadia, a Malayan tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City, has become the first animal in the U.S. to test positive for the coronavirus.

“Nadia, a 4-year-old female Malayan tiger at the Bronx Zoo, has tested positive for COVID-19. She, her sister Azul, two Amur tigers, and three African lions had developed a dry cough and all are expected to recover,”

– Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) said on April 5, 2020

Confirmed positive for the infectious disease by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Veterinary Services Laboratory, Nadia may be the first tiger in the world to test positive for the coronavirus.

“It’s the first time, to our knowledge, that a [wild] animal has gotten sick from COVID-19 from a person,”

-Paul Calle, chief veterinarian of the Bronx Zoo.

Nadia has likely been in contact with an asymptomatic zookeeper.

Nadia, along with other big cats at the Bronx Zoo, started developing dry coughs and a decrease in appetite but are doing well now.

“The cats at the Bronx Zoo are otherwise doing well under veterinary care and are bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers”

DSWD distributes P100 billion Subsidy to 18 million Filipino families

It seems like everyone has been waiting for this ever since the president announced the Philippines under the state of calamity.

Yes, the Php 100 billion emergency subsidy has started being disbursed to the different regions of the country last April 3, 2020.

Under the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) supervision, this cash aid will be distributed to 18 million poor families in hopes of alleviating the burden that the enhanced community quarantine has brought amid the corona virus outbreak.

“The DSWD will exercise full control and supervision over the distribution of Emergency Subsidy Program funds. This will ensure that only targeted beneficiary-families will receive the government subsidies,”

– Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles

They further stated that LGU personnel being managed by DILG will assist in the distribution of subsidies along with the assistance of the AFP and PNP.

Low income families will receive from P5,000 to P8,000 a month for two months in light of the novel coronavirus pandemic, under the social amelioration program. This is according to the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.

This emergency subsidy will be added on top of existing conditional cash transfers of up to a maximum of P8,000 per month.

The DSWD will assess the level of need for each household through the social amelioration card (SAC) form . To avail of the social amelioration program, households have to register with this form which the local government units (LGUs) are to distribute on a “house to house” basis.

Super Pink Moon, the Biggest & Brightest of 2020, to be visible in Cebu on April 8

Super Pink Moon, the Biggest & Brightest of 2020, to be visible in Cebu on April 8

Yes, there’s something to look forward to brighten up the “dark times” amid crisis.

On April 8, 2020 (Wednesday) at 10:30PM (peak at 100% illumination), we will witness April’s most beautiful Super Pink Moon, also expected to be this year’s biggest and brightest full moon.

The Super Pink Moon will already be visible after sunset and reach peak illumination at 10:35PM (Philippine time). But once the super moon rises above the horizon, it will be really bright and white, and almost impossible to look at for more than just a minute. 

However, the Super Pink Moon won’t actually appear to be pink (nor any hue of it). The color will be the usual golden near the horizon and fade to a bright white as it glides overhead. It’s called “pink” because it’s a seasonal association that’s named after the pink moss phlox that covers the ground during spring.

If you are on home quarantine, or wherever you may be, be sure to set your alarms on April 8, 2020 (Wednesday) at 10:35PM (but already starts appearing after sunset) because the Pink Super Moon will surely brighten up your mood and give us hope that things will get back to normal very soon.

School in Argao develops Contact Tracing App for Healthworkers

In light of the increasing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, extra efforts are being exerted to potentially track and predict the progress, not just the confirmed cases but also those under monitoring and investigation.

However, it is quite impossible for the healthworkers to keep track of every patient, thus, a new kind of approach has been developed worldwide — COVID tracking app.

Several cities in the Philippines have adapted this approach in an effort to trace the spread of the virus, thankfully, Cebu’s included in the list. A mobile application was developed by the Philippine Science High School in Argao, in partnership with Synthesis Software — the COVID Control.

COVID Control is a mobile application designed to make it easier for our healthworkers and DOH personnel to monitor and track COVID patients. This effort is very convenient and important in supplementing means of monitoring the progress of the cases as well as the health status of the patients.

Here are the instructions on how to use COVID Control:

Note: The application is FREE to download, however, it is not available right now on Playstore but it will be very soon.

Shenzen, China bans eating of cats, dogs and wild animals after COVID-19 outbreak

It seems that China has learned its lesson from the emergence of Novel Coronavirus, or COVID19, as they start to ban the unsanitary consumption of cat and dog meat in Shenzen, China to which they call “Shenzhen Special Economic Region Regulation on a Comprehensive Ban on the Consumption of Wild Animals”.

This city is the first one in the country to start the ban and it is a big step against the culture surrounding the unregulated black market of consuming thousands of varying wildlife, as well as a big step for civil humanity and compassion for nature’s blessing in their nation.

“Dogs and cats as pets have established a much closer relationship with humans than all other animals, and banning the consumption of dogs and cats and other pets is a common practice in developed countries and in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This ban also responds to the demand and spirit of human civilization.”

– Spokesperson of the City Government

 “With Shenzhen taking the historic decision to become mainland China’s first city to ban dog and cat meat consumption, this really could be a watershed moment in efforts to end this brutal trade that kills an estimated 10 million dogs and four million cats in China every year.”

– Dr. Peter Li, China policy specialist of Humane Society International

Indeed, it is a commendable action and a glimmer of hope for humanity as dogs and cats are our companions in life. They are there to stay with us and to comfort us in our difficult times. Man’s best friends deserve to be in our hearts, and have no place in our stomachs.

5 stages of coronavirus infection according to Malaysia’s Health Ministry

We already know that the incubation period of the novel corona virus (COVD-19) is 14 days and that there are asymptomatic patients but what we don’t know is that this coronavirus infection has 5 different stages.

This was according to the statement given by Malaysia’s Health Director-General Noor Hisham Abdullah.

These stages are ranked according to the severity of the infection cases.

5 Stages of COVID-19 Infection

Stage 1: Testing positive without any symptoms.

Individuals can still be active without feeling ill. Daily routines are not interrupted. People we call asymptomatic comes only on this stage. These are carriers of the virus without showing any symptoms.

Stage 2: Testing positive with only mild symptoms.

This is when the individual becomes weak and experiences fever and dry cough. This stage is believed to have the highest risk of transmission. Mild cases comprises approximately 80% of all confirmed cases.

Stage 3: Developing some form of pneumonia.

This stage is where complications of severe COVID-19 cases manifests like pneumonia, hypoxemic respiratory failure, as well as sepsis and septic shock. This list of complications is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Stage 4: Having breathing difficulties and requiring oxygen support.

Patients who have breathing problems from mild to severe are on this stage. From shortness of breath to requiring an oxygen support. According to the WHO, 1 out of every 6 people infected with COVID-19 start to develop serious bouts of breathing difficulties.

Stage 5: Needing to be intubated and put on a ventilator.

The last stage is the most critical stage. This is where a patient will need to rely on a ventilator to keep breathing.

“We also have death cases involving young patients like the one aged 34 and the youngest was 27. But (this was because) they came (to the hospital) at a very late stage. They came when they were already at stage 3 or 4 (of a COVID-19 infection), where they already had pneumonia and needed breathing assistance,”

– Noor Hisham, Malaysia’s Health Director-General

“There are many deaths involving those who have diabetes, hypertension and low immunity. This made up about 67 percent of the total number of deaths,”
