I know I am! As you can see on the cover, my favorite team is the Crusaders. When I put on these pads and helmet, I gained a new respect for all the boys and men who wear this gear game after game and practice after practice. Even though the equipment is uncomfortable, I did find myself walking with a little swag. I guess shoulder pads and a helmet will do that to you. In this October issue, you will see a Chad Hedrick rocking his gift by being a football coach, husband, wife, father and GUNSMITH. Chad specializes in making custom guns and his wife specializes in making Mississippi Mud cake. Check out her Mississippi Mud Cake and definitely stop by Barking Irons to get your gun serviced for deer season. If you are looking for some football food, check out Stoney Hughes. His food is filling, delicious and he did it all on the grill. Seriously… he cooked ribs, herb potatoes, layered potatoes and apple pie all on the grill. Yes Stoney, the apple pie is my favorite.

Pork Baby-back Rib Rub: 1/4 cup dried dark brown sugar 1/4 cup smoked paprika 2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp chili powder 2 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp mustard powder 1tsp- oregano 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper Keep your eye open for Stoney Hughes’ grilling catering service. Stoney has a lot more cooking to do and many more great tips on how to cook scrumptious meals. EWKJ readers will see him again. BBQ ribs on indirect heat at a temp of 250-275 deg. for 6 hours turning every 30 minutes. I spray garlic butter on them after I turn them. The internal temperature of the ribs should be 165 degrees. For the ribs last hour on the grill I lightly sweep BBQ sauce on for final cooking. With the awesome pork flavor and this rub you really don't need/want too much sauce, the flavor is already there!! 4 Grilled Apple Pie (I think this was Debbie's favorite of the meal) 10-12 big green apples, (the tarter the better) 12" cast iron skillet Almost 2 cups sugar (depending on how sweet you like it) 2 tsp flour juice from 2 lemons milk on hand kosher sea salt While that charcoal grill is nice and warm. Peel, core and slice apples very thinly. Layer your skillet with pie crust. The store bought pie crust is just fine. Peel, core, and slice the apples very thin. Drop them in the pie crust. Mix in sugar, flour, salt (just a pinch or two) and lemon juice. CAREFULLY mix together. Layers about 3 inches thick. Put on top crust and give your pie about five to seven 1 inch slits on that top crust. Brush on milk then sprinkle on some sugar. If your grill is not evenly heated, make sure you turn your skillet every now and thin. This should cook for about 1 hour. Crust will get nicely golden brown and a fork/knife will pierce apple easily. If you have time to make your own pie crust, don't use lard. Substitute with bacon grease!! You are already cooking on the grill and getting smoke flavor, so why not add a little extra flavor. Your friends and family are not expecting this to blow them away!! its awesome. Grilled Herb Potatoes 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 5 tbsp finely chopped Italian parsley 3 tbsp finely chopped dill 3 tbsp finely chopped shallots 2 tbsp white wine vinegar 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp whole grain mustard 2 tsp kosher sea salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp oregano Clean 3lbs of red potatoes. Leave the skin on and quarter them. Grill the potatoes making sure you get those nice grill marks on them. Get that smokey flavor in the potatoes. Put the potatoes and season well with the olive oil, parsley, dill shallots, white wine vinegar, sugar, mustard, sea salt, black pepper and oregano. Stir well and chomp chomp! Layered Potatoes 1 large bag of red or yellow potatoes 1 large bag of good sized onions 1 bag of Kraft Three Cheese Cajun spice drinkable white wine Cut potatoes and onion into 1/4 inch slices. Leave onions slices together. Coat the potatoes with olive oil and brown on the grill to get those grill lines and smokey flavor. In amber corning ware Dutch oven(4.5L is the perfect size) lightly coat Dutch oven with extra virgin olive oil. Get your layers going (onion, potatoes, three cheese, Cajun spice) Drizzle on wine and layer some more. Put in microwave for 10 mins. Stir well. Microwave 10 mins. Stir…. another 10 mins and Stir. You get it. Right. When fork goes in easy they are done!! This is a crowd favorite!! Enjoy!! 5 Forget about going sit in Buffalo Wild Wings. Pick up the sauce and do your own wings at home. This is much more economical.! Safe for the environment and natural products for your body.

I Run This Joint If she touches me again, I am going to bite her hand. Nobody told her to touch me the first time. I can’t believe she keeps saying the same things over and over. She has said it about 100 times. “Line up on the white line.” She is driving me crazy. Miss. Nelsok thinks she runs this class. She doesn’t. I run this joint. I scream at her. “You better not touch me or I’m going to kick your butt you ugly hog!” I shrug my shoulders because I know what she is about to say. “Write up.” I could care less about a write up. “I don’t give a care.” I say it loud enough for her and anybody else to hear. Here she comes. I am Maurice Wells. I am ten years old and in the 4th grade. People keep saying something about me having ADHD. They call it Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. I am going to try to look it up. I want to know what it means. This is my second year in 4th grade. I heard Miss Nelsok tell Mrs. Sparks, the guidance counselor, that I should have been passed on since last year. Mrs. Sparks says that my other school must have failed me on purpose to teach me a lesson. I’ve got a news flash for them. “LESSON AINT LEARNED!” Now it’s time for me to teach the school system a lesson. The lesson is going to be: Don’t mess with Maurice because I run this joint. “Maurice. I would appreciate it if you would not curse at this school.” There she goes again with her preaching. I could just slap her. Miss Nelsok is the worst teacher that I’ve ever had. I move out of line again. Just to let her know that she doesn’t tell me what to do. Like I said, I run this joint. Everybody else moves along. I’m not. I’m going to show her how I can flip, jump and hop. I cartwheel to the left and do another cartwheel to the right. All the other kids are going around me. They are looking straight and headed to class to learn Math. I ain’t doing none of that stuff. For what? When we get to class, I don’t sit down like every other fool in here. I walk around the room showing everybody my stomach. We are coming from the cafeteria. I’m rubbing my stomach letting everybody know that the food was good and my belly is full. “Hey! Everybody! I’m going to you show you something. That food was soooo good. Man, those nachos, the milk. I’m gonna sleep good.” I’ve decided. I’m going to take a nap whenever I decide to sit down.” Miss Nelsok is following me. “Maurice. I need you to sit down.” Do I have to call your grandmother for you?” “And what she supposed to do?” I snap at her. “You can call Grandmother. She ain’t going answer the phone for no skank like you. I walk around laughing at all the other kids’ face to make them laugh. They know they want to laugh. Some of them do. When they laugh, I go to them and give them a high five. “Ha ha… Man, she don’t tell me what to do.” I run this joint.” I start arguing with Miss Nelsok about why I don’t have time to sit down. We go back and forth. I argue with Miss Nelsok until I am tired. She doesn’t even try to teach these fools Math. I think I’ve won the battle. She just sits at her fat desk. She writes and writes. She keeps telling me that she is keeping paperwork on me. I let her know. “I don’t give a care.” For about 40 minutes, I dance and throw pencils at the windows. Every now and then I tell Miss Nelsok how much she makes me sick with all of her writing and paperwork on me. I go to my desk. I put my head down. I’ve worn myself out and I’m tired of arguing with this teacher. “Goodnight ya’ll. Wake me up when the bell rings.” “When I change, the whole world changes.” Chapter 2….. Bus Stop Fun It’s Friday. It’s time to act a fool. I smell the bacon that my Grandmother is cooking. Boy, do I love bacon. In no time, I find myself some shorts, a T-shirt and my school uniform. I get to wear my yellow shirt under my green uniform. They appreciate my style at The Village Academy. I look so fly. My Grandmother has my breakfast ready. I slide down the banister and jump to the bottom of the steps. Here she goes with her fussing. “Maurice, how many times have I asked you not to slide down that banister?” She throws up her hand to pop me. I know she is not going to hit me. She never does. Gene Bates is a sweet Old Grandmother, but she is always telling me what to do. 13 .She makes me sick too. “Whatever Grandmother! I don’t feel like hearing that early in the morning.” She huffs and puffs under her breath. “Maurice, we gonna have to do something about you. I can’t take your sassy mouth and you tearing up my house. I see why you’ll mommy ran away from you’ll, but you not going to run me nowhere! This is my house! Yes indeed! I’m not going anywhere.” “Yeah! Yeah! Like I said, whatever!” I take three pieces of bacon and shove them in my mouth. On my way out the door, I take Grandmother’s sugar bowl and toss it off the table. She screams and runs to the bedroom to get a belt. She can’t catch me and I am out the door. When I get to the end of the driveway, I kick the trash can. A couple of weeks ago, my Grandmother asked me to start taking the trash out. She was yapping about a ten year old boy needs to have some chores. She better leave me alone. I bang the trash can with my left foot then my right foot. “This is how I feel about your trash can Grandmother!” I know she is looking out the window waiting for me to go get on the bus to go to school. I know she hears me. I could care less. When I get to the bus stop, I see some kids waiting for the bus. “You’ll think you’ll look all cute with you’ll ugly book sacks.” Sydney ignores me. Her brother Mitch barks at me. “Man please! At least we got book sacks.” He lets out a cheetah sounding laugh. There is no way I am going to let him laugh at me. I tossed my book sack away a long time ago. The school wanted to search my book sack every time I came to school. Now I don’t carry one. I’m not about to have nobody check me every day. I don’t even tell Mitch nothing. I like his nerve talking smack. Since when? I just ball up my fist and punch him in his nose. He grabs his bloody nose and I hit him again in his stomach. I am strong. I wish I could fight every day. Sydney runs to her brother. I’ll beat her up too. I wish she would tell me something. She doesn’t. She grabs her cell phone out of her purse and starts to call her mommy. “Mommy, Maurice hit Sydney again! He punched him in the nose! We are at the bus stop!” Before she can say another word I grab her phone from her and throw it across the street. “You better shut up before you get the same thing he got! Look at you… a little baby calling for your mommy!” I rag on her telling her how ugly and stupid she is. Her whinny brother is trying to stop his nose from bleeding. I ought to hit him again, just for being a big baby like his sister. Mitch is twelve years old and bigger than me. His sister, Sydney, is the same age with me. She is in my class. I clown her every day for being so stupid looking. Just as I am enjoying laughing at them, I see their mom and dad both running down the street. Their dad has a belt in his hand. I don’t know who he thinks he is going to hit with that belt. “Come get you’ll whinny children!” I scream at them and laugh some more. I see the bus coming down the street. If I get on it, I’m going to have to hear them tell the bus driver, Ms. Olivia, that I beat up their son. I don’t feel like hearing that. All they gonna talk about is “Write up.” The bus driver will go on and on talking about how he is going to report me to the office. So instead of getting on the bus, I take off in the opposite direction. I shoot them all the bird and hop skip away. I ain’t going to school today. Let me see what I can get into on this Friday morning. As I walk through my neighborhood, I see that everybody is leaving for work. Some people are jumping into their cars like they are running late. Kids have their book sacks. The women have their purses and lunch bags. Men are moving slowly with their coffee. Everybody in the neighborhood is getting ready to start their day.
