Really? Then how about this (Dick and Samartha take note...)?



INGREDIENTS

1 pound unsalted butter (or olive oil)
1 ounce "herb"


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook herb in butter over low heat for 2 hours.

2. Strain hot herbed butter into container, and squeeze out all excess
butter from herb

3. Stash butter-flavored herb away in a baggie in the freezer for a
really rainy day.

4. Save _herbed_ butter in refrigerator for use in bread and cookie
recipes.



ASS-KICKING-HERB BREAD RECIPE

1. Get ingredients together and follow normal process for your normal
bread.

2. When adding final flour and salt to recipe, combine 2 to 4
tablespoons of herbed butter per loaf, depending on desired herbal
effect.

3. Dough may take a little longer than usual to rise. Then, bake in
normal way.

4. When consuming herbed bread, eat only one or two slices, then wait
one half hour for herb to kick in.

5. Author is not responsible for results, especially with fools who add
too much herbed butter to recipe, eat too many slices of herbed bread at
one sitting, or get impatient for herb to kick in and eat more slices,
thinking the bread won't kick ass. If they use the right herb, it will.
