"cooks.com" news and stories

I know that this is the web and just about anyone can publish something on a site, but I think we have to draw the line somewhere. I call that line "wiener soup."

This recipe is over at cooks.com. Here it is in its entirety. I have to admit it made me laugh out loud when I saw it:

Weiner Soup

1 pkg. wieners
3 cups water

Combine weiners and water in a two quart saucepan. Bring to a boil until weiners are cooked. Throw the wieners in the garbage. Serve soup.

Maybe you can serve this to guests at your cookout today.

As we've mentioned before, there's a "national day" for everything. Even for chocolate eclairs!

My mom loved these things though I haven't had one in years. Here are several recipes for various chocolate eclair-oriented desserts from cooks.com, including Chocolate Eclairs, Chocolate Eclair Cake, and Cream Puffs.

Of course, if you're trying to eat well, this isn't your week. With this and National Ice Cream Soda Day in the same week, it's all much too tempting. Though we don't need a holiday to eat food like this. You can always start that diet next week, right?
