Melt the butter and add sugar in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the tortilla strips. Cook for about 5 minutes, stir often to prevent sticking and burning. Cook until golden brown. Remove from pan, top with cinnamon, maybe a dash of some more sugar and include some ice cream. http://www.easy-recipes.me/easy-recipe/cinnamon-sugar-sticks-490/

But I’m wondering how to make salt and pepper spareribs. If there’s anyone here who has already cooked them, please do share! (I don’t like website recipes because they’re not entirely tested.)

There is a review on the recipe that gave it 5 out of 5....I use allrecipes.com for a lot of meals I cook, because there are many reviews that the user can read before deciding it is a good recipe or not. It isn't biased in any way-there have been many reviews that flat out right state it is aweful! http://chinesefood.about.com/od/spareribs/r/spicyribs.htm

Chemical Apple Pie (No Apple Apple Pie) http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chemical-Apple-Pie-No-Apple-Apple-Pie/Detail.aspx 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie 2 cups water 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar 25 buttery round crackers 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (225 degrees C). Roll out pastry and set aside. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. In a small bowl mix together sugar and cream of tartar. Add mixture to boiling water. Stir, then add crackers, one at a time. Boil for 3 minutes, but do not stir. Pour cracker mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Sprinkle crackers with cinnamon and dot with butter or margarine. Cover with top pastry. Seal edges and cut steam vents in top. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until crust is golden brown. May need to cover top pastry partway through baking to prevent overbrowning
