Remember that kale-sausage soup you wanted the recipe for about 2
months
ago, but weren't worthy of receiving at the time? Here's more info:

1 lb kale
1/4 cup dried oregano

I haven't changed. Don't think you're going to change my attitude
about
your stupid comment with a simple recipe!
Verrrry simple recipe....

Shhhhhhh!!!!!

Joy of Cooking has a two-page description of what they call the "Master
Recipe" for cookies - a basic template from which about 20 different
kinds
can be made. It's not much different for soup.

That's good to know. Now, here's what I need. I need a good recipe for
making a batter I can dip fish into for deep frying. Any ideas?
Tell me you really don't own a copy of "Joy of Cooking".

Is that something with 'directions' in it? I don't do directions.
Then, there would be no point in MY giving you directions, now would there?


After thinking of your post, I decided that looking in 'Joy of Cooking'
might not be too bad.

So I went to my wife's cabinet in which reside her cookbooks. I mistakenly
opened the doors, only to see about 600 cookbooks, binders, papers, and
other assorted printed matter. I decided, 'hell with it'. I'll just keep
mixing flour, beer, eggs, and baking powder. It's not as good as some
batters I've tasted, but it'll do.
Joy of Cooking is a good basic cookbook, but it is very dry and boring.
