From Grand World Champion Pit Master: Apple City Barbecue Ribs

From Denny:  How often can you get a renowned grill master, a barbecue world champion, to walk you through the steps to successful and perfect ribs?  Here's your chance. Good Morning, America invited him on to the show to show us his way of making the most delectable mouth-watering ribs.  This is July Fourth and we sure think ribs for this holiday.

Mike Mills has managed to parlay his love of cooking ribs into creating seven national restaurants - from four in Illinois to three in Las Vegas.  This is really amusing:  He is the only barbecue pit master with top-security clearance to board Air Force One.  Mike is also the only barbecue pit master who’s been featured in Vogue magazine for a total of four times.  


Of course he was also inducted into the National Barbecue Hall of Fame in 2010.  You have to read his bio and list of appearances and accomplishments.  The man has been quite busy for the past twenty years!


I took the time to find his various sites.  There are links for his cookbook on Amazon, his link to his bio and list of accomplishments that will make you smile and a link to his restaurant site with several locations.  Mike Mills is big on teaching and holds smoke seminars and consults too.  What a guy.






Mike Mills in the middle, of course

The Healing Waters: Summer Slow Cooker: Warm Chicken Pita or Lettuce Wrap

The Healing Waters: Summer Slow Cooker: Warm Chicken Pita or Lettuce Wrap: From Denny:  The beauty of slow food is you can forget about it for awhile after it gets going on the stove.  Then you are free to run a few short errands close to the house, go grocery shopping or clean around the house.

Since I'm no fan of long hours of house cleaning like it's a Saturday marathon I clean in short spurts for 10 to 15 minutes several times a day or week, depending upon how long a project takes.

I've even educated my husband how you can load the dishwasher in the amount of time it takes for commercial TV breaks to scream at you around the corner.  Fortunately, this year Congress passed a law forcing the advertisers to turn down the volume.
