Garlic Bread

Sorry for the short post today and none yesterday!  I had to go back to the hospital to have my sutures removed.  The hospital is a huge complex and I got a bit lost.  I seriously walked a couple miles before finding the office.  To say that this was painful is completely understating it.  I am really good with pain.  I did not cry and I did not even whimper but I broke out in uncontrollable sloppy sweats that I did not even realize I was capable of producing.  But hey, they are out and that part is behind me!  I still need to wear the claw brace for 6 weeks.  I can start to move it a bit each day but I have a long way to go.  I can only move it a couple of millimeters right now.  Onward and upward!

I made this garlic bread to serve with the lasagna.  It's very simple but oh so good.  At least I think it was as I never actually got any!  A crusty bread with large bubbles is best for this because you want the garlic to fall into the pockets.


Soften a stick of butter and mix it with lots of dices garlic and some fresh parsley.  I used about 5 large cloves of garlic.


Melt this mix and stir to combine.


Half the loaf of bread and cut each side in half again.  Brush thoroughly pushing pieces of the garlic into the holes.  Broil until the edges turn golden and the butter is bubbling.


If you want to be very decadent add cheese before broiling.  I never do this when I serve it with lasagna because there is already so much cheese in that dish.  But it is very good with cheese when served with spaghetti.

I am sorry it was so painful, Joyce. But you are not letting it stand in your way! Your bread looks so incredible, and I don't even like butter! (yes, I know, I am strange!) xo

Thankfully I only have four stitches to remove :-) You cut Your thumb so much worse than I so I can move my thumb pretty well already but it is still very swollen.

I don't know how many time I've been lost in hospitals :-) :-) :-) Especially when walking in the cellar and they have put up very few signs :-) :-) :-)

I'm glad the stitches are gone and hope You recover fast!

Congratulations on getting your stitches out!

And thank you so much for this recipe. It looks fantastic! :o)
I read back and learned of your terrible accident with the knife! Holy moly, glad you're okay and still have two thumbs, LOL! I can't believe you're still cooking and baking away, as usual. You rock!

So sorry you are going through so much with your injury. Good that the stitches are out though. I know what you mean about getting all turned around in a big hospital. Not fun. That bread looks delicious.

Okay. Now, I'm even more worried. Please be careful now that the stitches are out. We have a tendency to get a little cavalier when we start healing. Hugs.
