Never Fear, Cook with Beer

Back, by popular demand! I am keeping all these recipes in software called Big Oven. It can then be published in a cookbook or exported to "all y'all". LOADS of Granny's recipes come from magazines and the back of packaging so I've saved quite a bit of time by Googling the recipe name or key ingredients and finding the same recipe already typed up all purty on the web. There's a "French-Canadian Beef Tart" that she had several recipes for that I still need to input.
