Functional And Stylish Watches for Willy!

Willy would like to be a famous cook like all of these folks on the Food Network on TV.  Willy tries to cook good and Willy tries to have great recipes and to have great style and presentation on all of his dishes.  However, Willy has been watching closely and one of the places that I am failing is in style.

I have recently noticed that many of these cooks are wearing some type of fancy, cool watch such as a jacques lemans watch   This is probably the reason that Willy is not famous.  Willy does not look cool enough.  So Willy questions himself as to how he can become cool like these cooks and probably land that great network cooking deal.  Well, Willy goes to the World Wide Web and finds a site like bluedial.com that has all kinds of cool watches. 

Willy began to search this site which was very easy to navigate and found that it appears that they have a great variety of great and cool watches along with a mighty selection of very practical watches for almost every type, style and design that a person might want. 

So, now Willy knows that whether he wants that cool watch to help Willy launch his network career or if Willy wants a watch to scuba dive in or if Willy wants a watch just to work in, then these are available and easy to find.  They are well priced and easy to find.

Summer and Home Made Ice Cream

Summer is designed for Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and Home Made Ice Cream.

Especially Mrs. Willy's home made ice cream.  She makes great ice cream.  She is famous for her award winning vanilla.  County fair many years ago she went up against many exotic flavors of ice cream and won first with her vanilla.  Made lots of people aggravated.

However, she most of the time crunches up butterfinger candy bars and mixes into her vanilla and it is always a hit also.

Willy loves ice cream and summer is an excuse to eat more than he should

Gourmet Hot Dogs

Willy believes summer time is time for Gourmet Hot Dogs.

What is a gourmet hot dog you ask Willy! 
Well, Willy says that you take a premium all beef wiener. 
You take that wiener and grill it over charcoal.  This gives a great flavor.
Take and grill a good brand of hot dog bun slightly on the grill.
Put a premium yellow mustard or your favorite mayo or both on the bun.
Spread some sweet pickle relish on the bun to cover the entire bun slightly.
Place the wiener on the bun.
Put on your favorite heated Chili.
Put on some great sweet vidalia onions - chopped fine.

Enjoy.

Willy Cleans with Cook Top Cleaner - Great

The smooth flat top stoves that we have today are very neat and are Willy believes they are about the best thing that has been invented over the years in cooking innovations.  Willy moved into a new house about three years ago and with that move Willy's cooking began on a new stove with this type of surface.

What Willy found out real soon was that as great as these tops are to cook on, they are also brutal to clean when Willy has a spill as Willy does quite often.  These tops are beautiful when clean but not so nice looking if you let the burnt on stuff accumulated at all.

That is when a good cook top cleaner comes in handy.  What was great was that with Willy's new stove when he moved into this new house was a sample bottle of  Weiman Glass Cook Stove Cleaner.  Thankfully this product is great in keeping the smooth ceramic stove top clean.  Willy, and most of the time Willy's wife,  uses this cleaner simply and easily about every third time that the stove top is cleaned and because of this the beautiful black ceramic/glass oven top stays beautiful and keeps its great, slick, like new shiny appearance.

So, what Willy is saying is even though this type of oven top is great looking, it also takes great products like Weiman's products to keep it in great shape. 

Willy simply says about this - 10-4.

Willy's Grouper Experiment

Willy likes pan seared grouper at a local restaurant.   Therefore, Willy decides that he will buy some grouper and try to duplicate the dish.

Well, Willy seasons up the grouper and puts it in a pan of grease to fry.  Willy fries about 4 minutes on each side.  Then Willy takes the fish out of the pan and gets rid of most of the grease.  Willy then sears the grouper in the pan on both sides.  Looks pretty good.

Willy eats on the fis but clearly believes it is just not real good.

Willy will leave the cooking of the grouper to the restaurant. 

Bring Willy some fried catfish please.

Pimiento Cheese with Pecans

Wife tried a new recipe this weekend.  She basically took a simple Pimiento Cheese recipe and added Pecans to it.

We took it with us for sandwiches but odd thing is that we used it mostly as a dip with potato chips and corn chips.  By the way we were fishing and caught about 5 eatable trout.  Plan on cooking those in the next week. 

Willy will let you know how the trout are cooked and how they come out.

Willy's Weekend Food.

Willy had an uneventful weekend.  Started Early with Friday off and Willy played 9 holes of golf and mowed the yard and did some odds and ends.   Friday afternoon Willy put on a Pork butt with Neely Rub on it.  Willy cooked it until late Friday night.  Put it in the fridge and Saturday morning Willy chopped it up real fine.

This was then sprinkled with a seasoning that was given to Willy by the Mean Pig in Cabot, Arkansas.  This tablespoon of seasoning mixed in a chopped pork butt makes all of the difference in taste.   Willy ate on this pork with some bbq sauce and coleslaw mixed in on Sunday evening.  This gets eaten with good Lays Potato Chips - Ruffles.  Great easy meal.

Saturday Willy ran around with wife, ate Chinese food for lunch and then snacked for Supper.  Sunday lunch was simple rotisserie chicken from Kroger, open can of pork and beans, and some deli potato salad.

Eating simple and making life easy is really great and that is what is Cooking with Willy

Coconut Catfish with Lime Sauce

Sometimes Willy sees a recipe that sounds real good and turns out ok but is not considered a keeper.  It may be that the recipe includes catfish which Willy loves.  However, Willy has tried catfish many ways but the only real way the Willy likes catfish is fried.  Good old Southern Fried Catfish.  It can't be beat.

Here is the recipe that Willy tried and would recommend if you like the coconut stuff - but Willy will not go to trouble again.  Here it is.

Take catfish fillets and dip in coconut milk and then roll in dried coconut flakes.  Wow - looks pretty.  Put on a pan and grill for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Make a sauce consisting of

juice of 3 limes
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch.

Boil the first four ingredients and then add cornstarch to thicken as desired.

Drizzle the sauce lightly over the fish and eat.

Bakflip Truck Covers

Willy is cooking up an idea that says that everyone needs to enhance and protect eheir pickup truck cargo box with a bakflp truck bed cover.  What is this you ask?  Well the bakflip tonneau cover is a hard tonneau cover with a folding design. It comes in 4 models; Bakflip G2, Bakflip HD, bakflip f1and Bakflip CS.

Willy finds that this is available for most pickups and that bakflip offers truck owners security and head turning looks. The folding design makes it very easy to use, not to mention very practical. Installation is easy with the provided clamps and you are sure to increase your fuel mileage.

Good looks, better gas mileage and all the girls look at Willy's truck.

It doesn't get better than this.

Willy's Fried Tater Cakes

Willy cooks simple things some time and messes them up. Last night Willy was going to fry a simple potato cake. Willy's mother used to cook them anytime there was left over mashed potatoes from Sunday's lunch. That meant just about every Monday there were Tater cakes on the table.

Willy's problem is that he left out the flour. Cakes fried more like scrambled eggs than cakes. Nothing to hold them together.

Here is how it is supposed to be done. 10-4 Willy
----------------
Willy's Fried Tater Cakes

2 c. leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. flour

Stir beaten egg and flour into potatoes. Form into patties. Dip both sides into additional flour and brown in a little shortening. A good variation is to add some chopped or ground ham to the mixture. Makes 4-8 servings.

Poor Man's Lobster

Another great Recipe that Willy is going to try.  Check it out.

one small onion sliced
6 lemon slices

Put everything except fish in a pan and heat until simmering, put fish in simmer for about 10 minutes. cool slightly and serve with melted garlic or lemon butter.

What is Cooking?

Willy needs to spice up this website.  Willy is thinking about things that might help get this on its way.

If you have any suggestions maybe you can let Willy know.  If not just stay tuned and maybe the site will be jazzed up a little or maybe it will not.

Willy just does not know at this time.

Onion pork chops

Willy likes pork chops and Willy likes onions. So why not combine the two.

Willy likes to take thin cut pork chops and cover them with honey mustard. Willy then takes finely mashed up canned onion flakes and shakes them on the pork chops to cover completely.

Willy then cooks at 350 for about 45 minutes. Combine this with some kernel corn and some brown rice.

Great food.

Fish on a Plank

Willy likes grilled fish but Willy is not always good at grilling fish. Tonight Willy grilled two pieces of Halibut on his grill. It turned out awesome.

Willy started out by soaking two cedar planks for over an hour. While the wood was soaking Willy soaked the fish in Milk to take out the strong fish taste.

Next step was heat grill to about 400 degrees. While the grill was heating I sprinkled the fish with seasoned salt and with chopped parsely.

Willy then put the fish on the planks and placed it on the grill for about 20 minutes.

Served with brown rice and broccoli.

Sandwich time with Willy

Willy loves a good sandwich. A good sandwich starts with a good bread. Willy likes a honey berry wheat bread. You know bread with those crunchy little seeds in it.

Well, then you can take something easy like Petit Jean Bologna or Petit Jean Ham. To me that is premium ham and bologna. Then I like to take Miracle Whip. Many people like mayonnaise but I like Miracle Whip.

The sandwich can then take on a good sweet tomato and a little bit of vidalia onion. If spring is here then what I like to do is take the bread, Miracle Whip and just add a couple of thick slices of a great tomato.

Very good.

Internet in your neck of the woods!

Willy knows about cooking and Willy knows that he gets lots of information from the internet. What Willy did not know was that there were companies out there like wildblue internet who is an internet provider for people who live in rural/remote locations. They believe that just because you live out in the country doesn't mean you should have to have a slow dial-up internet connection!

That is what Willy is talking about. Willy likes to download videos of cooking and politics and lots of good stuff along with recipes and ideas that might show up as interesting. Willy knows what it is like to have slow dial up internet. Willy had it one time. Willy was not a happy camper.

Willy wishes that there had been wildblue internet in his life at that time. Willy was trying to build a website with lots of pictures and Willy could set some pictures to upload and go cook supper, because that is what Willy does, and then come back and the pictures would just be finishing.

The best thing that Willy can say to any of you good country rednecks out there is Lose the Dialup – Satellite High Speed Internet from Wild Blue is Here!

This company gets a big 10-4 From Willy - Now back to Cooking!

Gold!

Did you ever want to buy gold? Did you ever want to sell gold? Did you ever want to do something and you were not sure what or how to do it? Willy ain't talking about Idaho Gold Potatoes here. Willy is talking about real gold.

Well, Willy has bought and sold gold and Willy has cooked Idaho Gold potatoes. Willy finds that he is better under his own expertise to cook the gold potatoes. Willy did not do as good buying and selling gold on his own. That is why Willy wishes he had known about Goldline.com

Willy has visited there site and they appear to know what they are doing and could probably help someone like Willy buy and sell gold and other coins in a way that could be very productive.

Willy has decided when he cooks Idaho Gold potatoes he is the expertise. However, if Willy decides to buy gold again the expertise might get a call.

2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits - Willy needs this!

Willy needs to know if you are familiar with the newest version of the housing stimulus ? If you are not Willy believes you need to know as much about it as you can. Yes, you may have heard about it last year but did you know it has been extended and amplified.

What do you mean amplified. Well, now even more people are eligible making a great deal in real estate get even better. Some of the facts are as follows:

• First-time homebuyers, or those who have not owned in the last three years, can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit
• Homeowners who have lived in a current home consecutively for 5 of the past 8 years can receive up to a $6,500 tax credit
• There may be no future extensions, so all qualified homebuyers are urged to act and have a written, binding contract by April 30, 2010 (close by June 30, 2010)
• Income limits are now $125,000 for singles, $225,000 for married couples with a $20,000 phase-out of the credit for both.

So Willy is cooking up the idea that everyone that is thinking about buying a house can't afford to pass this up. Now is the time and now is the place to get after finding that right home and getting the government to give you back a chunk of change when you buy. That can't be beat.

To get more information you might even want to watch the video giving great information about it below.
