My tastes are pretty catholic so long as the story is well-written and it moves right along without a lot of "jump shifts" or leaps of logic.

Last picnic I went to at Dale and Gail's I was introduced to "rigani" so I'm raising my own supply in posts (thank you Burpee Seed) until I get to raised bed garden ready to go in the front yard. The evergreens are gone - all I have to do is pull a gun on myself and get 'er done.

Cut them into 1/4" batons (using your French-fry cutter) then cut the batons into 1/4" cubes. Blanch them in your deep fryer then allow to drain cool. While they are cooling - MAKE THE GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE: In a small saucepan melt butter, add garlic and saute until cooked. Add dried oregano and dried basil and stir until heated through. Once the sauce is prepared set it aside but keep it warm while you drop the potatoes back into the fryer to finish cooking and browning. When the cubes are done to your liking drain them and portion out. Pour the garlic butter sauce over and serve alongside your eggs and meat. Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
