More delicious Google goodies

Who says Geekmail is evil? Iz rather loves reading those adverts to see how clever Big Google has been in snooping on the Iz.
And how could we resist such a tasty little morsel - all free to a good home

Dragon's Breath Dip
There are two heads (yes, entire heads) of garlic in this dip! (That’s why it’s called Dragon’s Breath). But I assure you, when garlic is roasted, it becomes sweet and nutty. This is one of the most popular dips I have ever served.

2 heads garlic
1 Tbsp. olive oil
8 oz. Brie cheese
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut top 1/2" off the top of the garlic heads. Remove some of the loose papery skin, leaving the heads intact. Place each on a square of foil, drizzle each with the olive oil, and wrap well. Bake at 350 degrees 50-60 minutes, until the garlic is very soft and begins to brown. Cool until easy to handle. Squeeze each head to remove the soft roasted cloves.

In a food processer, process Brie cheese with the seasoned salt and garlic cloves. (You can also cream these ingredients together using the back of a spoon and a lot of energy.) Refrigerate several hours to blend flavors. Serve with crackers, crostini, and sliced French bread.

(Izzie still has that sore throat and wonders if she is suffering from a severe case of garlic poisoning)

Sssss. Well - Izzie is a sneak and a thief and actually STOLE it from a geekmail advert. It was about.com 's collection of vegetarian garlic recipes. Bad Iz has not been referencing her posts properly. Bad bad goblin.
Actually - all those geekmail adverts are quite entertaining. Iz wonders if they have some database somewhere of all the ads they ever put in one serpent's owls. If they did - the Iz would surely come across as a most insidious subversive serpent - especially now that she has taken to cavorting with Canadians (of the corporate variety - see latest Izzie post)

Yesss. Izzie is positively evil. Beginning to think that may be that nasty sore throat could be due to garlic poisoning. Wonders if that is a possibility. Iz wishes you all the best with those medieval beasties. Do try out the Seamus Heaney version of the book that must not be named. Iz still hasn't forgiven him for winning that Whitbreads prize back in 1999 when by rights it should have gone to a certain rat, werewolf and friendseses. But in spite of that - it is a damned good translation. Iz did not know half of what it meant but he is a POET so just enjoyed listening to the sound of it. A few years ago it was the book of the month and got read for 15 mins every weekday on the radio. That is the true test of a good book. What does it sound like on the radio and can you bear to wait till next day for another instalment.
Iz is currently working on the big bad green beans assignment which is nearly over now.
