TIBS DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS
"Fried Mushrooms have long been a favorite appetizer in American food culture. Mushrooms impart a fifth taste sense called umami, which is savory. Fried and dipped in sauces, typically Ranch, the combination of natural tastes of the mushroom and the crunchy, seasoned crust is undoubtedly the reason they are one of the most favorite appetizers. This recipe is a favorite of mine and I'm sure it will be a favorite of yours too."

I'm a single Dad of 3 kids. I've been a bachelor for 15 years. I took an interest in cooking at an early age. My Mom is a fantastic cook. Before I was ever allowed to cook a meal on her stove, she taught me the importance of spices. After high school, I split time as a ranch hand and cook for a renowned area restaurant. I went to chili cook offs with the owner and over the years I also served as a judge for a few. I have always enjoyed grilling and smoking more than anything else I cook. I have created many of my own recipes. And adapted others to my personal tastes. I have cooked for a lot of people over the years. And although I never entered a contest myself, many people who have not only entered but won big contests have tried my food. And I have often been asked why I don't enter. The answer is simple. My reward is the look of satisfaction on people's faces when they enjoy what they are eating. I don't need a trophy to enjoy the art of cooking. I just want to serve a good meal to good people who appreciate it.
