Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

With fresh, edible flower petals mixed right in, this sweet butter almost looks too pretty to eat.
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond, vanilla, lemon, or orange extract, optional
1/4 cup fresh edible flower petals, washed and dried
Place the butter, confectioners' sugar, and extract in a food processor. Process until well blended. Add the flowers and pulse-process just enough to distribute the flower petals. The butter should be speckled with flowers.
Scrape the butter from the food processor onto a piece of waxed paper. Roll the butter into a log shape inside the waxed paper. Place in the refrigerator until chilled. When ready to serve, slice the butter into thin rounds.
Alternately, you can place the butter in a shallow dish and serve that way (garnish the top with a fresh, whole flower if desired)

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
