About two weeks ago, I could think of nothing but garlic bread. I started trying to plan outings so that they would take me places where I knew I could get the tasty stuff and planning my meals to make sure that they went with garlic bread. It culminated in a meal at my mother's for which I specifically requested something that went with garlic bread. It was really kind of sad. Who lets a piece of bread rule their meals for a week? Apparently I do. I'm a sucker for the kind with garlic butter - I like it a little greasy and with nice chunks of garlic on top. I know, I know. It's not the traditional way, but I don't care.
Garlic Bread
1 loaf torpedo shaped bread with a nice crust (I made a half whole wheat rustic Italian for mine)
1 stick butter, softened
6-8 cloves garlic, rough chopped
salt and pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
Put butter, garlic, salt (pinch if you're using salted butter), pepper (to taste), and crushed red pepper flakes (to taste) in a small blender/chopper. Mix thoroughly. Cut bread in half lengthwise. Smear both sides with butter until all crumb is covered. Bake in 400 degree oven until lightly browned or stick it under the broiler and keep a close eye on it.
Mmm, mmm, mmm. I think I need to go make some again. Oh, if you have any extra butter, just stick it in the freezer for the next time.

The only thing I know for certain about my "Last Meal On Earth" hypothetical is that garlic bread would be involved.
Nice! I'm glad I'm not alone in my obsession!
