• Fri 26 Jun 2009 - Time stand still for no one
It has been over a year since I've blogged here. I can't believe its been that long. I see several of my friends no longer have blogs and I'll need to do some housekeeping. I've missed the community but can't say I've been blogging a whole lot in general. I've been keeping up with my knitting but blogging fell by the wayside unitl recently.
I'm off to tidy up some around this blog-o-sphere and see who is left that I know. Then I'll hunt around to make new friends. I'm sure there are several of you out there that I'd love to meet. ;) |

Garlic Butter
This is excellent. Has wonderful flavor and is so easy to make. I think
next time I make it I will use garlic powder or cut back on the garlic salt.

Author Note: "Sometimes the basics are the best! I've used this simple
recipe for years to make garlic bread, and any leftovers go great on
barbecued steaks, pasta, rice or potatoes. You can use any butter or
margarine you like. Also, fresh or minced garlic in a jar works well. Adjust
the amount of garlic to your taste." |

Banana Oatmeal Bread
This is a very good bread. It has a nice flavor and I used
