The pre-paid cremation is, in all truth, a single-pay, single purpose
life insurance policy. The longer I span between purchase and use the
better the insuror does on my premium.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Death By Garlic *
Categories: Pasta, Cheese, Chilies
     Yield: 4 Servings

   1/2 c  Olive oil
    10 cl Minced garlic
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
     3 tb Chopped fresh parsley
     1 lb Penne pasta
   1/3 c  Grated Romano cheese

 * The title is facetious. A mere 10 cloves of garlic is
 not enough to "do in" any but the very feeblest of the
 vampire group."  UDD

 I added one can of Italian tomatoes and chicken sausage
 that had basil in it.

 Cook pasta according to directions. In a pan slowly brown
 garlic in oil (do not let burn!). Add salt, pepper and
 parsley. Remove from heat. Toss Penne with garlic mixture
 and romano cheese. Serve hot.

 Serves 4 generously.
