Teddy Bear ... let me know about your "experiments." I'm always open for new ideas!

On the beer batter mix ... my wife found a mix called "Fry Krisp all natural Batter Mix" in the bread crumb section and on the side label it has a recipe for beer batter! It came in a 5 pound bag. My son, that did the cooking, has cooked at two places locally and they use the same mix in their "beer batter." Hope all goes well for you.
