Garlic Dip for Bread

I would like to know the best way to make an olive oil-garlic dip for the fresh Italian bread I make with my meals for my man. --Laura Ann
Laura Ann:  You could use the sauce from my Pasta with Garlic & Parsley  recipe – just serve it in small bowls, without the pasta. And you'll probably want to make double what’s in the recipe; here's what I would do: Heat 6 tablespoons olive oil in a small pan, add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook over medium heat until softened and golden. Then add chopped fresh parsley, salt and pepper. That’s it!  Or, even better, you could make garlic bread for your guy!  Split your Italian bread in half and drizzle the garlic oil over the cut halves. Re-assemble the bread, wrap in foil and then bake in a 350F oven for about 10 minutes. (To make it even tastier, add some butter to the olive oil before adding the garlic.)

    I am looking for the chicken stroganoff recipe. It is so good, like fried chicken on noodles. I misplaced the original card I received, and when I got your recent postcard, that was the first recipe my wife and I thought of. Please let me know if it is available. Thank you. --Chuck

    I have a problem and am hoping you can help me. I love recipes that have you put biscuits on top, like creamed chicken and biscuits. However the problem I have is that when you put them on top to bake, the underside of the biscuit never gets cooked. It's always still doughy and runny at times. How do I correct this to be able to bake them on top? Thank you for any help you can give :-) --Laura

    How do you keep a box of raisins fresh? I use a cup or so of the box then don't use them for a couple months and when I go to use them again they are as hard as a rock. I have tried putting the box inside a sealed bag but that doesn't work.
