Title: Beer Bread
Categories: Breads
Yield: 8 Slices

3 c All-purpose flour (360 g)
3 tb Sugar (38 g);
- white or brown
1 tb Baking powder (12 g)
1 ts Salt (6 g)
12 oz Bottle beer (355 ml);
- room temperature
3 tb Olive oil or
- melted butter; (45 ml)

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes

This easy beer bread recipe is soft, moist and baked with a crisp
golden crust. It's a simple no-knead loaf ready to eat in under an
hour!

Preheat the oven to 375?F (190?C). Lightly grease a standard loaf
pan (9x5" / 23x13 cm) or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar,
baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a
spatula or wooden spoon just until a thick, shaggy batter forms. Do
not overmix; the batter should look rough.

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Drizzle the olive oil or melted vegan butter evenly over the top of
the batter. This creates a crisp, golden crust.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is deeply golden and a
toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire
rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Hi Ben,

Title: Beer Bread
Categories: Breads
Yield: 8 Slices

Back in the early 90's my parents bought a bread machine and had fun experimenting with it. We bought one in the mid 90s so when they came to
visit us, Dad told us about beer bread and how good it was. While
visiting, he bought a 6 pack, drank most of us but left us a bottle so
we could try making beer bread. They left, and a week or so later I
tried making beer bread. It was the NASTIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stuff we
ever tasted. IIRC, we ended up throwing out most of the loaf.

When Dad asked what we thought of beer bread, I just said that we tried
it but didn't like it.

Do you happen to recall which kind of beer it was? Perhaps an IPA?
I think beer is an acquired taste... I have never tried beer bread but
am open to trying it.

When Mom makes cheese, she saves the whey and adds it to the bread
machine mix. It gives the bread a lot more flavor and rising power.
That's the whey, i like it.

Title: Taco Bell Burrito Supreme
Categories: Copycat, Mexican
Yield: 8 Burritos

1 lb Lean ground beef
1/4 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Chili powder
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Dried minced onion
1/2 ts Paprika
1/4 ts Onion powder
1 ds Garlic powder
1/2 c Water
16 oz Can refried beans
8 Flour tortillas (10")
1/2 c Enchilada sauce
3/4 c Sour cream
2 c Lettuce; shredded
2 c Cheddar cheese; shredded
1 md Tomato; diced
1/2 c Yellow onion; diced

To copy Taco Bell's most famous burrito at home you first must
assemble the meaty foundation of many of the chain's top selling
products: The spiced ground beef. Toss it and seven other tasty
ingredients into a large flour tortilla and fold using the same
technique as taught to new recruits to the chain. If you like a bit
of heat, throw on some of the hot sauce from the Taco Bell Fire
Border Sauce clone recipe.

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili
powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef.

Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet over medium
heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, and break up the meat
as it cooks. Heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. The finished
product should be very smooth, somewhat pasty, with no large chunks
of beef remaining.

Heat up the refried beans in a covered container in the microwave set
on high temperature for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.

Place the flour tortillas on a plate and cover with plastic wrap.
Heat the tortillas for 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave on high
temperature.

Build each burrito by first spreading about 1/4 cup of refried beans
on the center of a heated flour tortilla. Spread 1/8th of the meat
mixture over the beans, then pour about a tablespoon of the enchilada
sauce over the meat.

Stir the sour cream well, so that it is smoother, then spread about
1-1/2 tb onto the burrito. Arrange some of the lettuce, cheese,
tomato, and onion onto the tortilla, and then you're ready to roll.

Fold the end of the tortilla closest to you over the filling
ingredients. Fold either the left or right end over next. Then fold
the top edge over the filling. You will be leaving one end of the
burrito open and unfolded. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and
serve immediately.

I think beer is an acquired taste... I have never tried beer bread
but am open to trying it.

You're asking about something that's 30 plus years in the past. Dad was
not a beer connisour so it would have been one of the second tier name
brands, something that didn't cost a lot of money. When he first started building the family house, he'd work on it after his 9-5 job and go
until he couldn't see. It was a lot of physical labor so he'd have a
nightcap of a beer and Cheez-its crackers. He finally gave that up well
after the house was built and I left home but still enjoyed his (not
quite as often) beer. Me, I never acquired the taste for it (nor did
Steve) so the loaf of beer bread was a one off for us. Other than water
(still or sparkling), my choice of drink it either Diet Coke or Ale 8
Zero, a soda I found at one of our camper rallies in Kentucky some years
ago. (A couple in our neighborhood are from KY and have brought a case
back to me from time to time when they visit.)

machine mix. It gives the bread a lot more flavor and rising

power. BC> That's the whey, i like it.

Uh-hu! I've never made cheese so don't have the whey to help the bread
rise. It does sound like the bread would be quite flavorful.

Title: Taco Bell Burrito Supreme
Categories: Copycat, Mexican
Yield: 8 Burritos

Our younger daughter worked at Taco Bell when she was in high school.
They were ok if you wanted a sort of pseudo Mexican meal; I was spoiled
on Mexican food when I went on a mission trip while we were in Texas.
The ladies of the church that hosted our team made a from scratch
Mexican meal for us for our last lunch. Taco Bell will satisfy a craving
for something quick and kinda sorta but it ain't nothing like the real
thing.

Not being a big fan of beer to begin with, I can only imagine how bad that might have been.

Hi Ruth,

choice of drink it either Diet Coke or Ale 8 Zero, a soda I found at one
of our camper rallies in Kentucky some years ago.

This is the first time i have heard of Ale 8 Zero.
Is it gingery?

I totally agree. There used to be another local Mexican fast food chain
called Taco Time and i thought it was a great deal better than Taco Bell
but unfortunately they went out of business. These days when eating out
i'll go to a "California Style" tacqueria. There's a local chain i like
called Muchas Gracias. Some time ago they replaced McDonald's inside of Walmart.

I can make decent Mexican food, so i'd just as soon eat in.

Here's a random recipe:

A waste of whole wheat flour in this case. I probably should have never
done it but Dad was bragging about how good it was so........... And,
since he left us the bottle of beer, I knew that he would be asking "did
you make it yet?" every time we talked until I went ahead and made the
bread. That was the first and last time beer was in our house.

Hi Ben,

Other than water (still or sparkling), my
choice of drink it either Diet Coke or Ale 8 Zero, a soda I found at one
of our camper rallies in Kentucky some years ago.

This is the first time i have heard of Ale 8 Zero.
Is it gingery?

Lightly so. It's the diet version of Ale 8 1 (pronounced a late one in
parts of Kentucky). Makes for a nice change off from diet Coke.

Taco Bell will satisfy a craving for something
quick and kinda sorta but it ain't nothing like the real thing.

I totally agree. There used to be another local Mexican fast food

Sounds good. There's also Del Taco which we found in AZ, UT and NV, a
step above Taco Bell but who wants french fries with tacos? I would go
for something like nachos instead of the fries.

I can make decent Mexican food, so i'd just as soon eat in.

I make kinda sorta Mexican food, since Steve can't eat corn. We'll do
burritos or fajitas on flour (if we can find them, whole wheat)
tortillas. Last week we did deconstructed fajitas, the meat, pepper and
onions served over mixed rices with cheese, (plain) yogurt--instead of
sour cream--and salsa. It's a lot neater to eat than a tortilla with all
the fillings trying to spill out all over you. (G)

Doesn't Del Taco also have their own version of "Potato Oles," i.e. slighly spiced tater tots? I seem to remember having some the one time I stopped
at one -- in 2023.

For those not familiar, Potato Oles are a Taco John's thing... Taco John's
also being a step or two above Taco Bell.

I often eat like that. Rice is cheaper for me to obtain than tortillas.
I call them "rice & bean bowls" but i put a good deal of vegetables in
there. I used to make a copycat Cafe Yumm sauce, then i realized that
it is basically a salad dressing, and i started making different salad dressings for variety. Cheese, yogurt, and salsa are a wonderful combo
when i have them.

Last night i ate leftovers of what i could optimistically call Asian
fusion. Spaghetti noodles, chopped collards, tahini, gojuchang,
minced fresh garlic, ginger paste, and a little bit of bragg's. Not at
all authentic, but tasty.
