I'm Baaaaack! *cricket chirp*

Hello, readers! (If I have any left, that is.) I've decided to do an actual post, not the EPIC FAIL of yesterday.
I am casting around for inspiration, and I see a cookbook. It's lying open, to the Breads section, and some of these breads sound yuck, some sound delish. (Delish is one step up from delicious.)
Farmhouse White Bread doesn't look very interesting. It looks like a normal round of bread! The comfort is I bet it tastes like normal bread too. Who doesn't like normal bread?
It's not like the kind from a store, either. It looks very tasty, with flour sprinkled over the top.
Olive-Rosemary Bread Loaves? The description is very nice:
Kalamata olives- deep purple, brine-cured Greek olives- and woodsy fresh rosemary flavor these robust peasant loaves (Good Housekeeping: Great Baking, page 121).
But how would it really taste? What if you put, say, parsley in? Parsley is cool. Thyme is used more often, but why? I'd bet there's plenty of parsley available.
It's a pretty cool book, with all kind of recipes. Actually, I've got a lot of really cool cookbooks, mostly from Christmas- Indian ones, that are full to the brimming of recipes galore and a hot chocolate one (who knew- hot chocolate is like an art! It's really kind of amazing how underestimated hot chocolate is).
The recipes that are sent to me- like one B sent me for pancakes. (They were very good.) One for GINGERBREAD! In Honor Of Churchie! (That was the time I found out that I need to make friends with a family that has an abnormal love of gingerbread but has no idea how to make it, because K and my parents have no love for it.) (I thought it was brilliant.)
I think I've run out of topics on baking. Maybe I'll revisit it. Wrap-Up time.

Muse for Today:

Yes, I know Hestia isn't a Muse, she's an Olympian, but she's the Greek goddess for the hearth and home, which has a relation to cooking. Hestia (or Vesta, the Roman name) is today's Muse.
