This post is not at all fair, I am just about ready to come off a sixteen hour fast and am hungry. Reading this is in no way helping me make it to the end. Grrr. It is very well written. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us and good luck.

I?m sorry?
Thank you though for powering through it.
I appreciate it.

Comment from Julie Lau
Ah, it seems that all your guilty pleasures are edible ones! So much so that you are even prepared to prepare them yourself. I trust that you are not digging your grave with your teeth! (sobering thought). Luckily I have lost enough teeth now that my food consumption is somewhat curtailed. Your recipes do sound delicious though.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Ah, John, you are so cruel as I sit here eating my banana; you post recipes t are such a temptation. As I eat my hummus sandwich today on pita bread, I will imagine it is your delicious burger! That, my friend, will require quite an imagination!
Okay, I may try the peppers with Italian sausage! Good for opening day at Fenway!
Very delicious and tempting guilty pleasures.
Well done.

Fenway??!! Noooooo.
I?m a die hard Yankees fan since 1964. I?m so glad baseball is starting today.
The pepper sandwich is one of my favorites. Enjoy.
Thank you for reading?

Comment from BethShelby
It sounds like you are a gourmet cook or at least a food connoisseur. Unless you're supposed to be a diet that limits these delightful deserts and dishes, I'm not sure why you should feel guilty unless you are guilty that you're made those of us reading this feel really hungry for something we don't happen to have available. Good luck in the contest. This is well written and tempting.

I am not a chef. I like to tinker in the kitchen (as opposed to a cars engine).
My one son is an Executive Chef in St Augustine, Florida.
Thank you for reading and sharing,

Comment from Sally Law
I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and now I'm starving! Have I said I am on a strict diet as well? I ski down a mountain of salted nuts and fresh fruit. It's hard to feel guilty about that. I enjoyed the fantasy of this one though, albeit fleeting. New York-style Cheesecake! Come back to me someday!!
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Thank you, Sally for the wonderful review! You know I always appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. Trust me, if I ate those guilty pleasures daily, I?d probably be an NFL lineman at 325lbs? (not anymore since I?m 68)
Have a great day?

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
For me to really appreciate these amazing recipe's, I need to come and stay with you and your family for at least a month!! They really sound mouth-watering! I wouldn't even add the 'guilty' to it, that would only detract from my pleasure, lol. Well done, John, this was such a delicious post to read. Good luck in the contest, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Wendy G
They all sound scrumptious! So you have Italian background? I just might print out your post later and do some of these on the weekend. I won't feel guilty though. I'll count it as a cooking lesson. Best wishes for your contest entry.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Wake me up. Am I reading a poem or an excerpt from a cooking book?
I gave up cooking years ago, preferring my wife's skills to my own, since I have become lazier than a sloth.

No one has to be a trained chef to enjoy being in the kitchen.
Thanks, Tom.
