It's time we had another party, Everyone! I'm right in the mood!

Beer Battered Fried Avocado Wedges

These are decadent and delicious. Crispy, creamy green fried goodness. Really, they're almost too good for words.

1 cup lager or ale

1 cup all p flour

1 1/2 tsp paprika

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 avocados

oil for frying

1 cup salsa (to serve with them)

Whisk beer, flour, paprika, garlic (I added 1/2 tsp salt) until blended. Let stand at least 2 hours.

Peel avocados, cut each into 6 wedges. Dredge each wedge in batter. Deep fry until golden.

This was great with onions, too! That batter is definitely a keeper for me.

Here's a tip from a book about avocados. If they are ripe and you refrigerate them, they hold their shape better for cutting.

Freeze Ahead Cinnamon Rolls 1/2 cup instant potato flakes 1 cup water 2 1/4 oz envelopes active dry yeast 2 cups warm water (100ÃÂº to 110ÃÂº) 9 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (9 1/2 to 10 cups) 5 large eggs -- lightly beaten 1 cup sugar 1 cup shortening -- melted 1 tablespoon salt 1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened 1 1/3 cups firmly packed light brown sugar 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped pecans -- toasted 1/2 cup raisins -- optional Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons cream cheese -- softened 2 tablespoons butter or margarine -- softened Stir together potato flakes and 1 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes; stir. Combine yeast and 2 cups warm water in a 2 cup glass measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Combine mashed potatoes, 4 cups flour, eggs, and next 3 ingredients in a 6 quart bowl. Stir in yeast mixture until blended. Gradually stir in remaining 5 1/2 to 6 cups flour until soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85ÃÂº), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion on a lightly floured surface into an 18x15 inch rectangle. Spread each with half of butter; sprinkle with 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 cup pecans, and, if desired, 1/4 cup raisins. Roll up, jelly roll fashion, starting at a long edge. Cut each roll into 1 inch thick slices. Arrange in 4 (9x13 inch) pans or in 8 (8-inch) square pans. (Rolls can be place in foil pans and frozen at this point.) Cover and let rise in a warm place (85ÃÂº) free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375ÃÂº for 25 minutes or until golden. Drizzle with glaze. Yield: about 3 dozen GLAZE: Whisk together first 4 ingredients (powdered sugar, milk, water and vanilla) until blended; add cream cheese and butter, whisking until smooth. Yield: about 1 cup NOTES: You can stir up a batch of these cinnamon rolls a month ahead of time, place them in disposable pans, and store in the freezer. If you give these Cinnamon Rolls as a gift before baking, double the Glaze recipe and include about 1/4 cup in a small ziplock plastic bag with each gift. Add instructions to place the bag in hot water, snip a corner and then drizzle over baked rolls. As indicated, unbaked rolls may be frozen. To bake, remove from freezer, and thaw in refrigerator for 8 hours. Bake as directed. I wonder if you couldn't just use one cup of regular mashed potatoes? Sue

This is a Paula Deen recipe and my family just loves it. Smoked Sausage Jambalaya So very good, so Louisiana style good. You are not going to believe how easy this dish is to prepare. Serves: 6 Cook Time: 30 Minutes Ingredients 1/2 pound Smithfield Smoked Sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices 2 1/2 cups water 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 bay leaf 3 tablespoons dried minced onion 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 beef bouillon cubes, crumbled 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup long-grain rice 1/2 to 3/4 pound medium, fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined. Steps In a Dutch oven add water, tomatoes, tomato sauce. Add dry ingredients, smoked sausage and rice. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink. You do not want to overcook the shrimp. A tip from Paula: Never cook the shrimp before you add it to the jambalaya. You want all of the wonderful shrimp flavors to cook into your jambalaya and cooking it before would make the shrimp overcooked (rubbery). Shrimp cooks so quickly, it is best to add it at the last few minutes.

That sounds good Luckygardner! (except for the cilantro, lol) Apple and Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Everyday Food) You can serve this cake warm with a dollop of applesauce or lightly sweetened sour cream. Store the cooled cake in the pan, wrapped tightly with plastic, up to 5 days. For the crumb topping: 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp coarse salt For the batter: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp coarse salt 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar 4 large eggs 1 cup sour cream 2 Granny Smith or other baking apples (about 1 lb) peeled, cored and diced into medium pieces 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped Preheat oven to 350* In a medium bowl combine the topping ingredients. With a pastry cutter or your hands blend until butter is incorporated and mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use. Butter and flour an angel-food cake pan or 14-cup Bundt pan. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In another large bowl, with electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on high, scraping down bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl after each addition. Add sour cream and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture and beat just until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in apples and pecans; transfer batter to baking pan. Top with crumb topping and using a butter knife, gently fold some of topping into batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes clean, 60-70 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool.

Autumn Cabbage Slaw

3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar
kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium red cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds) - cored, quartered, and thinly sliced
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
2 navel oranges

Directions
In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cabbage, onion, and parsley and toss to combine.

Cut away the peel and white pith of the oranges. Slice the fruit into thin half-moons and gently fold into the cabbage. Refrigerate, covered, tossing occasionally, for 2 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

You can make the slaw ahead of time, refrigerated. Keep the oranges separate and fold in just before serving.
