PLEASANT VIEW — The concession stand at Pleasant View Park will be ready for use as soon as the refrigerator arrives.

The unit is being donated by Admiral Beverage, said Mayor Doug Clifford.

He said the concession stand will be run only by the Pleasant View Recreation Department and will not be open to other vendors.

Clifford said only food and beverages that do not require a food-handling permit will be sold.

He said the city may talk to Straw Market about offering hot foods during games in the park.

(ANTHONY SOUFFLE/Standard-Examiner) Floodwaters from the Weber River surge onto Serge Simmons Field, the former home of the Ogden Raptors, knocking down the fencing and eroding the riverbank Friday. The bicycle path on the park’s east side has also been destroyed. Because the baseball field is still in bad shape, tournaments and city recreation teams have had to find other parks in Ogden on which to play. Officials say they don’t know if the park will be restored next year because of the cost and ramifications of government regulations regarding the alteration of the river’s flow.

Stare at the small screen long enough, and television starts to become as predictable as a Swanson's frozen dinner. Not that we're knocking meatloaf and mashed potatoes, but sometimes it's a pleasant surprise to pop open a box and discover a perfectly prepared smoked salmon. Of course, playing the Mystery Meal game has its risks, as you'll discover when you peel back the tinfoil and come face to face with a mess of steamed turnips.

Here are 10 offerings from the 2010-2011 season I didn't see coming:
