Excellent! The Roy Rogers was by far my favorite drink as a child, and I haven't had one in YEARS.

Homemade Rubio's Fish Tacos Sauce: 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill 1/4 teaspoon cayenne juice of 1 lime salt to taste Other ingredients: 1-2 lbs of white fish (halibut, cod, bass) 1 cup of flour 1 bottle of beer (light or amber) light seasoning of your choice corn torillas green cabbage (finely sliced) 1) Prepare the sauce in no particular order. Refrigerate to keep chilled before serving. 2) Heat oil slowing making sure to check the temperate occasionally. Optimal temperature is about 375 F (190 C). 3) Prepare the fish by cutting into strips preferrably the length of the diameter of the torillas. I prefer using cod because it is denser and meatier than other white fish I have tried. 4) Prepare the batter by mixing 1 cup of flour to 1 cup of beer and add a seasoning of your choice. I prefer garlic and cayenne. 5) Before dipping the fish in the batter make sure the fish is patted dry so the batter will adhere to the fish better. 6) CAREFULLY drop the battered fish into the hot oil. (Burnt myself one to many times  ). Fry about 2-3 mins on each side or until golden brown. 7) Remove fish from oil and dry on a rack or anything that will prevent the fish from sitting in its own oil thereby resulting in a soggy fish. 8) Warm torillas. ( I prefer Kuats method for this). Place fish in torilla. Lavish fish with sauce. Top fish with shredded cabbage. Indulge with limes and favorite hot sauce, though extra sauce it is not necessary because the sauce provided is super good. Accompany dish with appropriate drinks such as beer or tequila. Note: If you have your own way of mix for beer batter by all means use that. The batter provided here is a quick and easy for one with limited supplies. Yet, it is still very good. |

I wonder how good the sauce is on spinach or lettuce. It may seem moot, but sometimes I'm too lazy to buy tortilla, and I'll wrap meat in red leaf lettuce instead.

Banana Coffee Bread (with my changes)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Brown Sugar (I like Dark Brown Sugar)
2 Eggs
1 1/2 to 2 whole Ripe Bananas
1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
3/4 Teaspoon Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 to 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon (to your taste)
1/2 to 1 Teaspoon Vanilla (to your taste)
Hardware:
Bowl
Hand-Held Mixer
Baking pan (I use a square pan ~ 9 x 9. But anything will do)
Knife or toothpicks
Directions:
0) Pre-heat over to 350 degrees.
1) Cream butter and sugar until fluffy (or just mixed together).
2) Add Eggs and blend.
3) Mix in Bananas.
4) Stir in dry ingredients and mix well.
5) Grease baking pan with either Pam, butter, or oil.
6) Pour into the baking pan
7) Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean
8) Enjoy! ;D
I do all of the work with my Hand-held Mixer. And the size of your baking pan will determine you baking time. So start to check on it after 30 minutes.

Because I hate myself, I make this. It tastes good, don't get me wrong, but two bites and my mouth is in agony. Drunken noodles, so named because they will wake you out of an ethanol induced coma, or otherwise raise the dead. I got this from a thai cookbook, with some modifications.
Drunken Noodles:
-1 lb cooked fettuccine noodles, or other flat long noodles
-12 to 24 cloves garlic
-6 japanese dried chilies (aka the stuff they put in kung pao chicken or the like)
-8 serrano chilies, jalapenos, or whatever pepper you like.
-1 cup fresh basil, or 3 tablespoons dried.
-3 tbsp oyster sauce
-3 tbsp fish sauce
-3 tbsp sugar
-1 small onion, in thin slices
-3 scallions (aka green onions), sliced
-16 oz tomato sauce
-pepper to taste (salt already in sauces)
-1 lb ground beef or tofu, chicken can work as well
-Oil of some sort; I like to use a mixture of olive oil and chili oil for this.
-By some method (mortar and pestle, food processor, etc), make a paste out of the combined garlic, peppers, dried chilies, and basil, combined with a little bit of oil.
-Cook the noodles to your liking
-Fry the onions for about a minute, then add in the paste you made with pepper and fry for another minute, stirring constantly.
-Add in the meat, break up and fry until cooked.
-Add in the noodles
-Add in the sugar/oyster sauce/fish sauce, fry for a minute
-Add in the tomato sauce
-Optional: you can add in other things like julienned carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms (that have already been fried), tomatoes, anything really.
Again, this shit is hot, but very satisfying.

Also, two oils that I love. Put them on anything, not just asian food. Eggs, popcorn, whatever, this shit is awesome. The sesame oil is great for frying, and is pretty spicy. It's comparable to the oil that PF Chang's has, and was the reason I picked it up in the first place.  This one isn't as hot, but has a very distinct flavor of peppers. It's great in a way that it allows you to enjoy the flavor without burning your mouth off.  You can find the latter pretty easy, the former is a bit harder to spot. |

I love that stuff. Also, those noodles sound delicious, if a bit painful.

I love sesame oil, but I'm not so sure I'd love spicy sesame oil. I used to have shirley temples. You still do, but you used to too. |

). Fry about 2-3 mins on each side or until golden brown.
