Cheesy







Great Idea from KIMBERLY KUEBLER... Magawa nga today :-)


CHEESY PULL-APART BREAD

INGREDIENTS:
1 large loaf or boule-style Italian bread (Sourdough or French could also work)
½ cup butter (unsalted or salted is fine), melted
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a sheet of heavy-duty foil with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

2. Cut a cross-hatch pattern into the top of the bread by slicing ½-inch grid lines into the bread, stopping about ¼-inch from the bottom of the bread so that it stays together. Place the bread on the piece of foil that has been sprayed.

3. Stir together the melted butter, garlic and scallions.

4. Gently separate the bread with your fingers, then spoon the butter mixture in all of the seams, making sure it is evenly distributed among the whole loaf. Wrap the loaf up in the foil and place on a baking stone or directly on the oven rack and bake for 10 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.

6. Open the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the bread. There will be a lot of cheese, so try to push down as much as you can in between all of the crevices in the bread. Leave the foil open and return it to the oven. Bake until the cheese is completely melted, bubbling and starting to brown on top, about 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving, then sprinkle with parsley (if desired) and dig in!

Having a Fix


Amy  Flett is an artist and writer from Nova Scotia, who writes short pithy observations on life, accompanied by her beautiful, simple graphics.  This is my favorite.  Not didactic, but gently stated. Like a whisper in my ear.

I feel so victorious  every time I go to the Mall / Department Store and go home without buying anything.
Its enough that I see, hold, try and sometimes fit the items I like and know I can buy them.If  I  really want something so bad, so very bad  I will make three visits on the average - to try or hold or, smell the item.  I figured that if after three visits and it still calls my name, then I can part with my cash.It takes me a while to decide  the stores mark it down so I no longer need to wait for a storewide sale . I am a multiple buyer (same color, all colors, all styles, and lately, + / - sizes)-coupon cutting-bargain basement bin raider.

The B is Back





Its been almost 2 years to the date since I last posted an entry on my blog.


It was a few days after I was diagnosed that I  had Breast Cancer.

A lot has changed since then.  I changed.

I lost some, I gained some..I became...
