Mustard on Ribs

Writing this post is making my stomach growl. I think the forum should hold a rib cook-off and let ThreadOfTheDay.com be one of the judges.

The foodies at DiscussCooking.com share their plans. It’s making me hungry. I can’t wait to gobble the turkey, no pun intended.

Here is a forum thread that has been active for over three and a half years. Ten posts per page and 178 pages long and growing. I wonder what the record is for longest forum thread?

The coffee lovers at  the CoffeeGeek.com forums are showing off their latte art.

Latte Art

Pretty cool. I’ll have to learn how to do this and practice with the new espresso machine I got from woot.com.

Go Cards

A restaurant in Louisville,  Devino‘s Deli, is showing off their support for the St. Louis Cardinals by proudly displaying a big message in the window that proclaims “GO CARDS”.

Everybody respects a business that supports the local team, but look closer.

Louisville Health Rating

The restaurant has disguised their recent, less than perfect rating from the Louisville Department of Health.

Today’s Thread of The Day is at a Louisville restaurant forum where they discuss this clever/sneaky sign.

“Are supermarkets becoming places for people who don’t cook?”

http://chocolateandzucchini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2864

That is the question asked by a member of the ChocolateAndZucchini.com forum. She is fed up with the difficulty of finding fresh, raw ingredients at the grocery store. Everything is processed and ready to eat. Just heat and serve.

The other members of the forum have noticed this trend and are not happy with it either. They want to make their own meals from scratch. Unfortunately, today’s society is faster paced and people think they don’t have time to cook.

Many people have a hobby of collecting things. Some collect stamps, others prefer Beanie Babies, or Matchbox cars, model trains, baseball cards, or even lunch boxes.

Today, I found CerealBits.com and discovered there is a community of cereal box collectors. In this thread in their forum, a member is advertising his extensive collection is for sale. He wants to get rid of them so he has room to start a new collection.

This photo is not the whole collection. Click the link to the forum to see more.

Although the thread doesn’t mention any prices, apparently this is quite a valuable collection. One member mentioned it could be in a museum, and others are envious and wish they had the money to afford it.

I just have one question for whoever ends up buying it.

Got Milk?

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to grilling season.

The members of the forum at TheSmokeRing.com are ready. In this thread a member is bored and experiments with rubs and marinades on hot dogs.

Sounds weird, but I bet some of them are actually pretty good. If not, at least he only ruined a hot dog and not a steak.

I like hot dogs just as much as the next person, unless the next person happens to be a member of the RoadFood.com hot dog forum.

In today’s Thread Of The Day, a member decides to hop on his bike in Denver and ride to hot dog Mecca, Chicago, to grab a bite to eat.

The dreaded question that comes back to haunt us all every day. “What’s for dinner tonight?”

Sometimes it is easy to decide what to have for dinner and other times you just can’t come up with any good ideas.  Maybe this will help.

Every day, the members of DiscussCooking.com ‘s forum start a new thread to reveal their dinner plans. Check this one to see what they plan on eating tonight.

You like beer, but are tired of drinking Budweiser, Miller Lite or the few other brands advertised on tv.  Nothing wrong with those brands, but they get boring after a while. You start thinking that there must be something better out there. But where do you begin?

I would start with this thread at the realbeer.com forum where the beer connoisseurs discuss what they are currently drinking.
