Butter me up...

Recipe calls for:
- 1 qty. Amster
- 3 tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease Amster liberally with olive oil.
...

As an interesting side note I found a great use for olive oil: removing permanent marker from one's skin.

On Saturday, Bo-Bo, Tri-Girl, and I did a relay-style triathlon. (Which was a lot of painful fun, but that's another story. Ow.) Well, at the triathlon staging area you go up to one of the volunteers and get yourself marked up with your race number on your arms, legs, and on the tops of your hands. Which is great when you need to be IDed, but looks kinda uncool later. Especially because they also write your age on your leg.

Bo-Bo pointed out that oil was a good way to get the stuff off. Really now? Seriously, just put a tablespoon of cheap olive oil (margarine or butter works) and rub over the pen marks. I never thought of it as a good surfactant until now. Yay!
