I would love to know guilty food pleasures!!

Saltine Crackers topped with peanut butter and mayonnaise or, with mayo and a sliver of Velveta. Ugh, I know, I know but it works for me as a guilty, hidden pleasure.

Tried it last night pulled from refrigerator about one hour before serving, I'm hooked! Melted like butter in my mouth! Thanks to all who responded. I'm certainly not a 'food newbie' but felt a bit shy about asking this. Appreciate all who replied.

What's the worst/weirdest thing you found in restaurant food?

At an upscale restaurant in Piedmont CA. I ordered a salad and suddenly saw a LIVE green catapillar crawling out of the bowl! Lunch was NOT comped but we were offered free dessert of our choice. We declined. In Houston TX. I was enjoying a serving of chili cheese fries when I bit down on a 1" metal staple! Lunch was comped and we did return several times.

First time making ribs...help!

Hi, I agree with nelson5757 & funkopolis, Before I season and wrap in foil, I slice some onion, very thin, for the bottom, season, wrap, roast and then grill. Use your favorite sauce after placing on grill. (Grill about 10 - 15 minutes. They are falling off the bone good!

Homemade Soup Recipes

Many thanks climhighak & Gator Pam. (I did read your note at the end of your recipe, Gator Pam) I knew I had never found a, "good" chicken soup base! Am having the Potato Leek Soup tonight, minus the cream fraiche, don't have any on hand. Plus, I just returned from the market and vowed not to return until AFTER December 26! I do have chili oil. Traffic is horrible, and more! Did pick up the ing. for the Hearty Lentil with Smoked Turkey Soup posted earlier by CJ McD.
