quick and easy meals for 1 or 2
Do you remember the frozen french fries ? get them going.
First put a frying pan on med/high with enough veggie oil (I like canola) to get about 1/2 half inch deep.
Now I know we've done the fish/chips thing before. Tonight we;re going to do it a little different. Instead of the eggs then the bread crumbs thing let's do it with some BEER BATTER. Just mix up 2 eggs and about 1/2 cup of beer. (yeh you can drink the rest) whoop it up with a whisk then add about 3/4- 1 cup of flour. whoop it up again put the fish in it and then in the frying pan with the hot oil. Test the oil for temp by dropping a little of the batter in the oil. If it sizzles it's ready. Cook on one side 'til crispy then the other. When done take them out anf put them on a plate lined with paper towels and let them drain for a minute.
The fries should be done. Cole slaw is good with this or some onions and tomatoes with oil and vinager and grated parmesan and ground black pepper and dried basil and garlic powder and, and,
SERVE IT UP!! with some good bread and some oil for dippin and some white wine!

quick and easy meals for 1 or 2
Baked ziti
My granddaughter, Dawn, asked me for a baked ziti recipe so I sent her this. Well, it made me want some so Gammy and I are going to have it tonight. It’s a good Sunday meal and it’s easy to do.
Preheat the oven to 400
You can do it with Italian sausage or not. If you want to do the sausage you have to cook them (3or4) pretty thoroughly in a frying pan before you start to build the baked ziti. Cook them good and slice them up.
Boil up a pound of ziti
Heat up about 2 cups of sauce. I’d suggest get butoni from the super market or some other good brand or you might have some leftover in the freezer.
About 1 lb of sliced mozzarella cheese
About 3/4 cup of grated parmesan
In an oven baking dish big enough to hold all the stuff pour just a little olive oil and spread about 1 tbsp. of the sauce on the bottom. Build the pasta, sausage (if you’re using it) and mozzarella cheese up in layers. Finish on top with some sauce and the parmesan cheese.
Bake it in the oven til it bubbles on the sides them lower the temp to 300 and do it for about 10-12 min. more. Let it stand for about 5 minutes before serving it up with some salad, good Italian bread and some Chianti!
