02-04 Yummy Garlic Bread

Slice lengthwise:
1 loaf of french bread
In container, melt:
1/2 to 1 stick (4T-8T) of unsalted butter (depends on how buttery you like it)
Mix in
2 cloves of garlic, minced (or more if you want)
Set loaf open/face up and brush butter mix across both sides
Let it soak in and keep brushing on more.
You can freeze some at this point for later. Just cook it longer if frozen.
Now sprinkle on:
Zest of 1 lemon (you know how much I love lemon!!) or less...
handful of chives, chopped (optional)
Parmesan or Asiago cheese, finely grated is optional and really good, too.
Bake 10-15 min at 350 F
You can brown it under the broiler a minute at the end if you want it crunchy
OR you can bake it first and then put the fresh lemon on.... or both.
Anyway you do it, it is delicious!!

Nicola's Fisk

Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked! [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.] Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide. Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese. {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent] Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design. Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it. Recipe: Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig": 2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time: 1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 t almond e...
