Enough with salads, its time to make...

Master Samwise's Best Beer Sausages (and that's sayin' alot!)

* 4 to 6 of Hobbiton's fine (or your favorite) smoked sausages
* 1 Prancing Pony-sized (550ml) pint of Green Dragon Ale (or your favorite)
* 1 Gaffer Gamgee's medium yellow onion, chopped
* 1 clove of garlic, chopped
* 1 teaspoon of whole caraway seed
* 1 cup of water

Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan and bring to boil over high heat.
Reduce heat.
Place whole sausages in saucepan and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve with garlic mashed taters.
(Note: After simmering, sausages may be grilled for several minutes for that nice summer-like flavor!)

Anyone have any good recipes? Now that I'm old and have to feed myself, I've discovered that I really enjoy cooking! No one ever really taught me how though, so I'm mostly self taught... I'm going to look back through this thread and see if there are any cool recipes to try.

In the meantime, this is the absolute best banana bread recipe: https://www.melskitchencafe.com/crea...-banana-bread/

Every time I make it, people take seconds and thirds and often ask for the recipe!

Nice! I didn't share any more after my sausage one in 2007 as it's bad form to post after oneself. Now that you posted, I'll post again...

Crispy Chicken Tacos

• 1 Whole rotisserie style chicken breast, shredded
• 1/3 tsp. onion powder
• ½ tsp. garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 corn tortillas
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 3 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• 2 plums tomatoes, sliced
• ¼ medium white onion, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup Queso fresco, crumbled
Optional: • Mexican Cream to drizzle over the tacos
• Spicy Salsa

DIRECTIONS:
1. Season the shredded chicken breast with the onion and garlic powder, as well as the salt and pepper to taste.

2. Warm the tortillas in a large skillet and set them aside wrapped in a kitchen napkin.

3. Heat the oil at medium high heat in the same frying pan where you warmed the tortillas.

4. While the oil is heating, place 2 tbsp. of the chicken in each tortilla and fold them in half. Once the oil is hot, place the folded tacos in the skillet to fry. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

To serve, place the tacos on a large serving plate with the shredded lettuce and the slices of tomatoes, onion, and avocado. Don’t forget to top them with cheese. Enjoy!

NOTE:
Each taco is eaten with shredded lettuce and a slice of each of the vegetables.
