  1. make croutons!

    I bought a loaf of my favorite olive bread, or so I thought.
    But it turned out to be garlic bread, a bit too garlicky for
    a regular choice. Rather than bring it back to the store,
    where it would be thrown out, I decided to go with the flow
    and keep it, although I didn't feel like freezing it.

    It was nice sliced, toasted, and buttered. I just now
    decided that I'm going to make fresh croutons with the rest
    since I have some romaine and feta. Later I'll pick up a red
    onion and some kalamata olives and have a nice salad.

    Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

    That sounds good! If you have any bread left over, I bet it
    would make tasty bread crumbs.

    Big chunks of partially cooked garlic thoughout the loaf-
    woo!. It was fine toasted, but I'm not going to make a
    sandwich with it. =:-o

    Wow, it is refreshing to hear that someone took
    responsibility for their own actions. And you ended up with
    croutons to boot.

    Awww, shucks ... :> Actually it wasn't my fault. I left out
    the part where the loaf was mislabeled, which is why I ended
    up with it. I had carefully searched through the bread table
    for the "Olive Loaf," which I really like. But I will take
    credit for having mercy on the poor bread-packaging person
    and not bringing the loaf back to the store.

    Good idea- it reminds me of the English muffin pizzas we
    used to make in the dorm, so many years ago :>

    Take a couple of slices, butter and bake them, as if you
    were making huge croutons.

    Make a nice mushroom fricassee and serve it over the hot
    croutons. You can add some small fresh peas to the
    mushrooms. It is a great appetizer if you have company or a
    nice meal for yourself.

    If I make this, I always rub some fresh garlic into the
    bread before I bake it until crisp and with your bread, you
    can skip this step. :o)

    Oh, sounds like my idea of heaven. Be warned, it woke me up
    once in the middle of the night, dreaming of a horrible
    smell then realizing it was my armpit!

    Still loves my garlic.

    I'll bet it would make some fantastic bruschetta. Brush on
    some good olive oil, add chopped mushrooms, tomatoes,
    shredded prosciutto, mozzarella, salt and papper, and a
    drizzle of more good olive oil and bake them 'til melted,
    crunchy and delicious. Top with fresh basil, pour a glass of
    wine, light some candles, and enjoy.

    Cheers
