Recipe: Honey Mustard Glazed Ribs

DEAR JUDY,

I FOUND THE SAME THING WHEN I WENT SEARCHING FOR THE RECIPE SO YOU'RE NOT
ALONE. HOWEVER I WAS LOOKING UP JUST SUCH A RECIPE FOR RIBS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO
WHEN I GOT THIS ONE OUT OF JOHN WILLINGHAM'S WORLD CHAMPION BAR-B-Q COOKBOOK.
I WAS TOO BUSY TO TRY IT BUT I GAVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO SAYS IT'S OUT OF THIS
WORLD! ANYWAY....UNTIL YOU FIND THE TONY ROMA RIBS YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER
HIS. THIS MAN HAS WON 17 1ST PLACE PRIZES AT DIFFERENT COOKOUTS AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
