This is about as Off Topic as can be, but I thought it'd be a fun thread. My cooking skills are limited, but I do make a few things well, and I always like to try new things. Ill start off with this one;

I bought a twelve-pack of a very cheap beer thinking that I'd save some money. Well it was so bad that I couldn't drink it. I hate to throw out beer, so I came up with this recipie.

Two pounds of mussles or clams (i used little neck, but I think mussles would have been better)
Two chicken thighs (they're so damned cheap)
Two or three celery ribs
Large yellow onion
Garlic (a good ammount, about 10 cloves)
One 4oz can of tomato paste
One can of beer (keep in mind that hoppy beers like IPAs don't cook well, best to stick with a malty lager)
Two slices of bacon
Two tablespoons of Old Bay brand seafood seasoning

In a saucepan full of water, boil the two chicken thighs while you render the fat out of the bacon in a good sized stock pot. Chop up the onion and celery and throw them in with the rendered bacon and enough olive oil to sautee all that together. Chop up the garlic finely and throw that in the stock pot, stir that in and turn off the heat.

When the chicken is pretty well cooked, take it out of the boiling water and remove the skin and bone, put those back in the boiling water while you cut up the thigh meat into little peices and throw that into the stock pot. Take the bones and skin out of the boiling water and throw them away and pour the chicken stock into the pot (you should have about 4 cups). Add the tomato paste, the beer, and the Old Bay seasoning, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Let this simmer while you make a pot of rice. When the rice is done, take it off the heat, dump the shellfish into the pot of soup and bring it up to a boil untill the poor bastards open up.

Put some rice in a bowl and ladle the liquid and shellfish on top.

Eat.

Next time, I'm gonna' add some peeled shrimp to the mix. I think that's all it was missing.
