Oh Canada! Osinde's Bowling, Hansra and Bagai's Batting, and Cheema's Chicken Wings

Oh Canada, you won!
In the spirit of all things Canadian, un grand bonjour!  My awesome Canadian lads pulled the finger out yesterday and finally won a World Cup match!  OUI!  C'EST BIEN!

The Canada Cricket Team...You're beautiful today!
 So here is the dealio:  Kenya was lookin' all right, with Mishra and Odoyo both scoring 51 runs each.  C.O. Obuya got a big 31, and cute Kenya Captain Kamande got 22.  However, Kenya couldn't deal with Canada's bowling attack:  Awesome Osinde got an astonishing 4 scalps for 26.  Kenya got all bowled out for 198 runs. Great stuff, Canada!

And in Canada's innings, Jimmy Hansra belted out a mighty fine 70 runs, and Bagai, the plucky little wicket-keeper captain, got a big ol' 64.  Canada ended up winning by 5 wickets.  Not too shabby!

So, in celebration of Canada's win, I'm going to show you a snack that Canadians like to eat while watching the ice hockey.  But have no fear!  This is also a great snack to eat while watching the cricket.  Right on, Canada, let's eat some of Rizwan Cheema's Chicken Wings to Encourage a Winning Streak!

Ingredients:

1 kg chicken wings, split
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
6 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon black pepper (again, adjust to taste)

Stir everything together except for the wings. 
Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each wing gets coated.
Let sit in refrigerator for at least one hour.
Bake at 200C or 400 F for 45 minutes, turning once.

If you have any left-over marinade, boil it for a couple of minutes, the pour over the cooked wings.

Serve immediately.

Enjoy the chicken wings, and let's hope Canada carries on with a winning streak!  Oh Canada, let's rock this World Cup!

Happy Cricket, Happy Canada
