When was the last time you ate Ritz crackers? I love Ritz crackers. The buttery crunch that explodes in your mouth. I could eat about 150 of them at a time.
I had one for lunch today for the first time in ages. I ate it with some leftover Almond Chicken that Amy made last night - which might be the most awesome way to eat chicken second to Chick-Fil-A. Amy stole that recipe from Angela Singleton - which could possibly be the second most fantastic cook of all time. She can take chicken, bailing wire, and a piece of gum and make a gourmet meal. The first fantastic cook of all time clearly goes to Scott Sudduth.
I have to mention the Sanders here too. Keith cooks a pork rump roast that just falls apart and melts in your mouth. Best pork ever. Renee’ is a great host and makes a mean salsa and banana pudding. (I know - pork and salsa and pudding - is it working for you? Kinda have to be there.)
But back to the Ritz cracker - you think the nastiness that is mayonnaise could be good on a Ritz cracker? Maybe not. Some foods just aren’t redeemable - mayonnaise and brussell sprouts topping that list.
Ritz crackers are the only food I can think of that is both enjoyed buy the rich and the poor. Can you name me one person that doesn’t like Ritz crackers??? If you can - that person is a communist.
I love food.

I had some of that via your mother in law yesterday night. That was some good stuff! I try it with the ritz, though, since I have had ritz lately, I probably won’t have as big of a WOW effect.

Anyone ever had a “Mock Apple Pie”? It’s a pie based on Ritz crackers, but tastes just like apple pie - I”m not kidding…

back when i lived and worked in Richmond for Westinghouse, I was in a local Nabisco factory doing some consulting. I had the chance to taste a Ritz coming right out of the oven — holy cow, talk about divine! I can still remember that taste. It made Ritz in the box even seem like just a cracker. Oh, Oreos and Chips Ahoy taste totally different as well, but I guess after being in warehouses for so long they loose some flavor…as an example, I was there in July and they were already baking the orange stuffed oreo’s for Halloween.

To be mentioned in the same breath with the Suddeth’s regarding food is a media milestone for me.
I want a webpage like you have to share our lives via internet with everyone but I am too busy golfing. I am looking for a pastor’s job though.

I think Keith should do a throw down with Bobby Flay. Wait, did I say Keith, I meant “Steve”

Ritz - the one and only. Goes with everything - especially leftovers.

Okay, this post just makes me laugh.
Little Elizabeth (a.k.a. “the Picky Eater”) practically lives off Ritz and Club crackers in our house.

I came home for Christmas break and saw a box of Ritz. I was so excited! I took a bit and spit it out. Who buys garlic flavored Ritz? My mother thats who!

Garlic flavored Ritz? Now that’s just wrong.

Who would have thought this post would garnish (pun intended) 14 comments?
Flavoring the Ritz cracker is an atrocious idea. Much like flavoring the Cheez-It.
You can’t improve perfection. Any changes to the Ritz or the Cheez-it is defamination - or however the heck it’s spelled.

Cheez-It’s, while the original is good, the Tobasco flavored add just the right spice!
