1)  Fricasseed Sage Hen!

            Ingredients

• 1 young tender sage hen

• 1 lb sirloin tip cut in pieces

• 10 cloves garlic

• 1 large yellow onion (must be yellow!)

• 4 hot jalapeno peppers

• 2 cups Fricas Seeds

• Cooking oil, salt, pepper, 1 gallon of water

• 2 cans expensive beer (May 2000 Buckhorn)

• assorted vegetables

         Cooking Directions

Brown sage hen and sirloin in oil, garlic, and onion for about 15 minutes on pan over raging open bon fire (Mike G. to start).

When browned, pour contents into large pot.  Add water, vegetables, beer, and peppers.  Don't forget the Fricas Seeds - they're hard to find but critical to success!  Season to taste.

Simmer at aspen heat for 31.5 hours or until done.  Add more beer as needed as liquid cooks down.  (Make sure to stay awake and not let the fire burn down!)

When done, pour the resulting stew on plate.  Carefully pick out all vegetables and discard in pit at least three feet deep.  Place rocks over pit. Carefully separate sirloin into a metal bowl sans the sauce.  If the sage hen is still squawking - kill it!

With gloves, place sage hen in body bag and freeze for crawdad bait.  Give the sirloin to the dog that has most misbehaved.  Use sauce for boot grease (warning - only suitable for rubber boots!)

Finally, head to the closest McDonalds for a real meal, cause your sure enough hungry as hell by now!
