Funnel Cake

It's good. Trust me. Recipe here.

Garlic Cheese Bread

• 2 cups cheese - mozerella in this case
• 1/2 cup parm cheese
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Italian Seasoning
• loaf of french bread
• butter
• garlic, minced up

Mix together cheeses, salt, seasoning and mayo. Slice french bread up, I do half long way, half short way. Melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter, stir in minced garlic. A clove or so per bread piece. Set the bread, cut side down, into the butter, and allow it to toast up. BE CAREFUL not to burn the garlic, or even get it too brown, as garlic gets bitter quick, and you should just throw out the bread at that point. Repeat with all the bread, wiping the pan clean between each bread, to avoid blackening the garlic. Then put the cheese mixture on top, and bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees.

Also. Use real butter. Use real cheese. Use real mayo. duh.

Honey Butter

1/2 a stick of butter soften and 2 good squirts out of the honey bear. Stir with a for, and spread on some corny - corn bread. Yuuuuummmm. Make sure the bread is hot, and the butter will drip all the way down.

Frappucino Shaker Style

• 3/4 cup espresso (cooled, or use strong coffee)
• 3/4 cup skim milk
• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or caramel)
• 2 tablespoons flavored creamer
• 1 teaspoon sugar (or not, just how are you feeling?)
• 3 ice cubes

Put them all into a jar, shake it all about, pour over ice. Dress it up with a heart-shaped crazy straw.

Beef Dip Sammy

• a 3 pound beef chuck roast
• 1 can of beef broth
• 2 tablespoons of Italain Seasoning
• sprinkle of Lawery's
• sprinkle of black pepper
• Pepperoncini Peppers - as many as you like, I do like 10
• Pepperoncini Pepper liquid - like as much as takes up those peppers in the jar
• whole wheat rolls (hey, let's keep this healthy)

I have a hell of a time measuring. I've said it before. I just don't do it. So, this is all an estimate in my mind of what I do.

Fire up the crock pot. Put sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper. Put roast in a Low heat crock pot with the broth and Italian Seasoning. Place the pepperonicis around it, and dump in the juice. Cook for a long time - 6 to 8 hours. Tear apart the meat with 2 big forks, and let it go for another 15 minutes or so. Toast up the rolls, and scoop out the meat on a slotted spoon, so the juices run out. Put the juice in a little bowl, and dip away.

I should have taken a picture with the dip, but it was so good I had to eat it right away.
