Subject: Old bay chicken wings
Hi there,
I've had some good, and not so good old bay wings. The best ever In my
opinion were at Claddagh's in Fenwick Island Delaware.
Alas, they closed during the winter, but I think the original was in
Baltimore. I'd love to have that recipe.
Thanks,
Rob
Hello Rob,
The Fenwick Island pub was called "Claddagh on the Shore," and their menu is
still online here: Claddagh On The Shore
The Baltimore pub is simply called "The Claddagh Pub," and their menu is
here: The Claddagh Pub
Old Bay seasoning is a favorite in Baltimore and is used in lots of dishes
in that city. Most places there that offer wings offer them with Old Bay
seasoning as well as the original Anchor Bar Buffalo wings recipe.
I could not find an Old Bay wings recipe from either Claddagh pub. I think
it's a safe assumption that both pubs, both owned by the Clark family,
used the same recipe for Old Bay wings.
There are several Old Bay wings recipes on the web, but I found none that
claimed to be the Claddagh recipe or a copycat. Not being familiar with
Claddagh Old Bay wings, I could not recommend a recipe as being similar.
I'll post this for reader input.

Subject: Apple Jack Placek
Hi, I came across your website while searching for Apple Jack Placek. My husband is Polish and remembers
this from his Mom. Since he never baked (I married him when he was 40 and it is his only marriage) anything
that needs to be baked he would buy at a bakery. He bought Placek every year until I got his Mom's recipe
for Placek and realized how easy it is to make. We will never buy that again! Now, he's itching for Apple
Jack Placek but I can't find a recipe without yeast which I'm pretty sure his Mom didn't use. (She has passed
away and no one else in the family makes it.) My husband says you just put apples on top of the batter then
add the topping but I'm guessing there is more to it because I can't find that recipe except for the ones
with yeast. Am I wrong about the yeast and being able to use the same Placek recipe but adapting it by adding
the apples? I'm tempted to just try it (I have home canned apples) but I'm wondering if you could help me find
the proper way to make it without using yeast. Yes, I could make it that way but my Placek recipe makes two
loaves and I thought I'd make one of each. Can you help?

Hello Linda,
Apple placek is quite a common dish, and there are many recipes for it that do not have yeast. It is called
“Placek z Jablka” or simply “apple cake.” I did not find anything called “apple jack placek”, but that may
have been a family name for the dish.
I could not tell you whether your current recipe would work by just adding apples. You’ll have to look at some
“Placek z Jablka” recipes and determine that yourself.
There are apple placek recipes without yeast on these sites:

Subject: Pizza sauce
I remember my Mom bringing home WoolWorth Pizza every time she went down town. I am hoping you might have the pizza sauce recipe.
I miss those Pizza’s….
Thank You

Hi Stephanie,
I have a partial copy of the Woolworth’s recipe manual, but the pizza recipe is missing.
I searched the Internet for this recipe, but I had no success there.
I’ll post this for input from my readers.
