Tutornext.com - Online Tutoring!


Lets cook up some real thinking by working on some real thinking persons studies.  What studies is Willy talking about?  Well, Willy is talking about things like online tutoring for K-12 and college students that is available through a site called  tutornext.com .  Willy is talking about how they can help you by providing online tutoring at the cheap rates.

Yes, when you talk to Willy about exact studies such as  Pre AlgebraPrime numbers and complex. Math Questions , Willy struggles.  Willy does have a masters degree in economics but Willy's math has always been a little weak.   In high school when they started with  Linear Equations there was a time that Willy was lost.  Shucks in had not been that long ago that Willy had learned How to divide and then when things like  Algebra equations and  Standard form came along Willy new it was time for some help.

So what Willy is saying is that if he had some online tutoring back when Willy was in school it would have been used extensively.  Now that this is available for all of those in K- 12 or college Willy can not see why it would not be used.  Online convenience with great help this tutoring just has to be the right thing to do.  That is my thoughts for now.

Game Day Foods

Tomorrow is a big day for Willy.  His Arkansas Razorbacks are hot and are ready to take on Number one Alabama who may be hotter.  It is great when you see these hot slick quarterbacks come up against each other and get it on.   Can Ryan Mallett win out as the greatest quarterback this year.

What should we do to help.  My idea is to get some great food and kick back in the easy chair.  There I can kick back and as they gruel and grime on the gridiron I can watch the replays on the dvr at my own leisure and slip in some good ole pizza or popcorn or wings or corn dogs or just about anything hot and good or slick and slimey.

So what is your favorite game day foods.

Sounds like a good time to go to http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/ and chose the resort of your choice.

Lets see that web site for those golf packages Myrtle Beach has to offer are right there for the taking.
So, this is something that Willy would certainly look forward to and Willy understands that there are lots of golf and beach fans that think that this would be a good idea to check out the great opportunities that are available at www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/

So, the only question is, do I book today or do I book tomorrow. Vacation here Willy comes. No cooking for me cause these great resorts can do it all Beach, good golf, good food, good wife. How can you beat it.

Grilled Pineapple

Willy tried some grilled pineapple tonight from fresh Pineapple.  First of all willy ate too much fresh pineapple as he was cutting it up.  Then Willy tried putting  a glaze of honey, lemon and pepper.  It was ok but added nothing.

Next Willy grilled it thinking that it would condense the sugars and willy could not tell much difference.  Willy thinks he should have the fire hotter and cook shorter time.

It is good and Willy is going to use it for snacks the next few days.  Willy will get his fruits.

Heated Pizza Delivery Bags - Keeps the Pizza Hot and Juicy.

Pizza? Pizza anyone?  Well Cooking it up with Willy wants pizza delivered and Willy wants it hot.  When Willy says he wants it hot Willy is talking real hot.  The question is have you ever had pizza delivered and you were expecting it to be hot and moist and juicy, and when it arrived at your door about all you could say is that it is here.

The Pizza was cold.  The pizza was dry.  My desire for something hot and juicy just turned into the fact that I thought I might need to put it in the Microwave before I could eat it.  Well, Willy has heard of a way to fix this problem.  What is this fix?  This fix is to have something that is out there which is  heated pizza delivery bags

Makes sense to Willy.  If you have heated pizza delivery bags then when that pizza shows up there is a lot better chance that it will still be that hot, juicy, delicious pizza that you were looking for.

So tell someone about it.  Tell your restaurant about it.  Might mean you get hot rather than cold.

Superb.net - Great Web Hosting for Willy!

Do you need Superb Web Hosting?  I mean to you need really Superb Hosting.  Yes, I am talking about web hosting that makes you feel comfortable that your web site is in Superb Hands.  Well, that is what Willy needs with his web site called Cooking it Up.  Willy wants the best and Willy and you deserve the best managed hosting that there is out there.


Well, what is so good about having such Superb Hosting.  Well, it could be something called colocation.  This is the factor that means when one location where your site is hosting has an issue it is backed up and hosted from another site.  This, as Willy understands it,  keeps your down time to minimum and your up time to a maximum.  That is what you want isn't it, maximum up time so that you and your website can perform at its best.  This keeps you going like you need to be going.  

So if you are looking for great or maybe even Superb Web Hosting it appears that you might find it at Superb.net.  They have the aspects that you might want in great web hosting and can probably provide you with that hosting that you might need.

That is my thoughts on that.

The Enthusiasm of Billy Mays


Guest written by our friend Trent Horton

My favorite Infomercial on TV would the OxiClean commercials with the late Billy Mays. I have always liked Infomercials but now I can watch many more as I stay up late watching my favorite infomercial on satellite TV.

The enthusiasm Billy Mays showed always put a smile on my face. Billy Mays seemed like he really enjoyed his job. I can really see him being great at selling those premium sports packages like the ones on http://www.direct.tv/direct-tv-sports-packages.html. Anyways, back to the informerical. As I would watch the OxiClean infomercial I would daydream that I was like Billy Mays. Not that I wanted to do Infomercials but in the aspect if enjoying my work. I wish I could go to my job each day and show as much enthusiasm has Billy Mays did during the Infomercials I would see him in.

Billy Mays was great but I also was fascinated by the OxiClean commercials. Billy Mays would make it look so simply to use. It seemed like the snake oil that people use to sell during the early 1900's but OxiClean is a product that actually works.

I have watched Billy Mays sell OxiClean countless times. My wife gets mad that I am always watching Infomercials but it's like I tell her it is better that I watch Infomercials then go to the bar and pick up on strange women.

Boots-USA.com is What is Cooking With Willy!

Boots, Boots, Boots.  Boots are made for walking the songs says but Willy believes that boots are the foot wear of the great American.  Yes, the great American is often out their working and wearing this great foot wear.  This great foot wear that is so versatile. Who might wear these boots you ask.


Well, the worker who is out in the gas field.  These are people that Willy sees every day that are wearing great things like great Wolverine Boots Then Willy knows many people that work in the cattle industry.  These folks all wear some type of boot.  They like the ones that are a little more fancy but they still like the great boots that are available from a great company like Boots-USA.com.   Yes this is a company that carries many of the great top lines that are available and many of the brands that most people recognize.  Some of these brands are those such as work boots from CAT, Wolverine, 5.11 Tactical, Bates, Rocky, Converse, Danner and other top name brands.

The question is whether Willy is one of those types that is a great worker or American to wear a boot such as these.  Does Willy deserve that name or title.  The answer is probably not but guess what.  Willy wears one of these name brand boots almost every day.  What about you?

Cooking for a Diverse Crew

Willy has a crew coming in a couple of weeks and Willy's wife is working hard to figure out what to have cooked up for this diverse crew.  Yes, they are all family but here is what it may consist of:

  • Man and woman - he with major issues that creates a total diet of no salt and little of anything in the food.
  • Couple who want to loose weight but like me will eat anything
  • Couple who is Military and young lady who is pregnant - want good food but healthy
  • Couple who we see often.  - they are easy to cook for.
  • Older person - concerned about what to eat to keep it all going.
  • Me and wife - too tired to eat

Cooking and Multiple Sclerosis

Willy knows cooking and Willy has reason to know that Multiple Sclerosis is a terrible disease.  This is a terrible disease and many people do not even understand the Ms Symptoms  that are sometimes very obvious.   Yes, their are symptoms that you need to know and their are websites out there that can help you with the knowledge that you might need or be interested in if you have ever been affected by this disease.

This website can also help you with the things that a person with MS or care giving to a person with MS needs to know about a Multiple Sclerosis Diet.  A diet taht can help the person feel better and aid in any healing process that might be available.  

I guess the question is whether or not this is something that you are interested in or something you need.  If you do not have any relations with a person who has MS today then this might not be what you want to spend your time on. However, if you are someone who has a loved one with MS or have friends who do, then this information is very important to you.

Country Style Ribs

Willy is a fan of Jeff at Smoking Meats.  Check out this recipe that Willy has found to be great and check out his rubs and great cooking info.  

-----------------------------------

Cherry Smoked Country Style Ribs



Ingredients:

10 lbs Pork Country Style Ribs (boneless are best)
1 batch of Jeff's Naked Rib Rub


Prepping the Ribs for Smoking

Remove meat from package and lay them close together in a shallow pan such as a cookie sheet. At this point I would normally rub the ribs with a light coat of yellow prepared mustard to help the rub to stick however, I opted to spray on extra virgin olive oil instead. using the sprayable olive oil, I coated the top and sides of the meat with a good coat of the oil.


Adding the Rub for Flavor

I mixed up a batch of my famous rib rub and after eating a spoonful or two (yep, it's that good) I used my bare hands to just sprinkle the stuff all over the tops of the ribs. The oil helped the rub to stick to the meat. Once the rub started looking wet all over, I flipped them over to the opposite side and once again, sprinkled a healthy portion of rub all over the ribs. I wanted to let the rub sit on the meat for about 30 minutes before smoking them so I left them there while I went outside to the smoker ready.


Setting up the Smoker

For this cooking session, I opted to use my Weber Smokey Mountain smoker with charcoal and small cherry splits. I used about 10 pounds of unlit charcoal in the bottom of the smoker and about 3/4 of a chimney of lit charcoal on top.

I filled the water pan completely to the top, put the grates back into place and went back inside for the meat.


The Smoking Process

I had about 10 pounds of country style ribs and all of them were able to fit on the top rack of the smoker with a little space between each one to allow the smoke to be able to get to the meat with no problems.

I laid them directly on the grate and replaced the lid. I opted to use cherry for this batch of meat and had a small split which was about 2.5 inches wide and 12 inches long. I laid the split right on top of the charcoal and let her smoke away.

I kept the smoker at 225 throughout the process but for some reason the meat got done much faster than what I had anticipated. I was estimating about 3.5 to 4 hours but the meat was at 165-170 at just under 3 hours. I'm blaming it on the thunder storm that popped up where lightning must have struck the smoker and grilled the ribs to perfection when I wasn't looking!

No problem.. I was hungry and after testing a piece to make sure it was safe for the family, I took it all up in a bowl and brought it into the house for dinner.

How to Serve

In my opinion these will not need sauce however, if I have guests over I almost always serve warm barbecue sauce on the side. Some folks just have to have sauce and I try to accomodate them.
These country style ribs go great with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, green beans sauteed with bacon, barbecue beans, slaw, etc. You get the idea.
As a lighter alternative, you could slice the meat into thin half dollar size medallions and place 10-12 pieces on top of a nice garden salad. cut them at a 45 degree angle to show off the smoke ring.


Final Thoughts on the Country Style Ribs

country style ribsI told you guys these were easy and it had been a while since I have smoked any of these. I actually forgot just how easy and tasty they are. I will say that there is quite a bit of fat that does not render out of these so you just go into it knowing that you have to gnaw around the fat a little but over all, the flavor is amazing.

The cherry wood was excellent and the 1/4 inch smoke ring was a real beauty.

These are perfect when you want to smoke something in a hurry or when those unexpected relatives pop in for a visit and you don't want to break out the prime rib. From prep to table in under 4 hours and that's not bad for what we call low and slow!!

I do think my rub made all the difference in these ribs.. occasionally I will buy something from the store labeled as rib rub or some amazing seasoning and it just never measures up to the flavor that I get from my own personal rib rub.

BlueSky Scrubs - Wardrobe Solution.

Willy is thinking that something such as wearing scrubs would make lots of sense for Willy.  Many people wear scrubs and look so well in them that it is becoming very normal to see someone in their clothes such as nursing scrubs or other types of scrubs clothing.     Yes, they look good and it is Willy's understanding that they feel good too.  What can be better than that.  Well, it would be great if you could have looks and feel along with having cheap scrubs.  This would all be good.


Well, Willy likes to cook and cheap scrubs might be something that would be good for Willy to wear while he is cooking.  This way the clothes could just be quickly thrown in the washer and Willy could have lots to wear and few choices that need to be made.  Willy thinks he would also like to wear scrubs as a uniform in his daily work.  This would mean that Willy could line out similar clothes each day and not worry if the top matched the bottom and all of those type of things that the wife thinks are important.

Yes, that last item could be really important.  Some days it takes several minutes of my dressing time to find a shirt that goes with the pants that feel good that day.  With scrubs it could be easily lined out and the top and bottom would be of the same color and it could save lots of time.  Willy believes that this could solve his wardrobe problem.

What about you are you looking for a solution such as scrubs?

Mailboxes and Recipes - Important to Willy!

Willy likes to cook and Willy likes recipes.  Willy often looks at newspapers, books and things that he receives in Willy's mailbox for cooking information or recipes.  Willy therefore has a great collection.  However, one of the things that Willy also likes is to have things that have a look of class.  That is when Willy thinks it is nice to have a classy looking mailboxes.

Yes, there are mail boxes in my neighborhood that do not look so good.  In fact there are some in the neighborhood that look pretty tacky.   It is these that look tacky that make me real proud when I go to my mailbox and take those recipes out of this classy looking mailbox.   However, that is not all that is good.  


Another thing that Willy likes is that the neighborhood has a regulation that makes those others that don't look so good to get up to code.  However, it is not my job to be critical of the neighborhood but to set an example.  Hopefully, that is what I am doing is setting that example for others to see what a nice house and mailbox should look like.


Now back to cooking and using those recipes.
