Great beer-batter recipe:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 12 oz. beer
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cracked pepper
1 tsp. cyenne pepper
mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl and then dredge your food of choice in the batter and deep fry.

pan seared chicken fettuccine in parmesan cream sauce topped with a chunky tomato sauce. I used heavy cream instead of half and half this time in my cream sauce and was very pleased with the results. very rich and flavorful.
