As garlic seems to be popular around here (yes!), here is Zbadba's be-all 
and end-all garlic bread recipe. Very Very simple.

1 loaf bread, sliced *longitudinally* (i.e. not in slices, but top half 
and bottom half)
Garlic powder (or garlic salt, if you prefer (which I don't))
Oregano
Parmesan & Romano cheese, grated (from a can is fine. You can also use 
just one or the other, but IMHO, it's better w/ a blend)
Butter (or margarine if you're *that* health-conscious)

In a small sauce pan melt a half stick of butter (assuming it's a good 
sized loaf of french bread). Sprinkle (or pour) copious amounts of garlic 
powder on the (dry) bread. Pour melted butter over garlicked bread. Add a 
*lot* of cheese (basically, an even 1/8" layer or so). Sprinkle w/ 
oregano. Put in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. When you open the 
oven, it should smell. It may not be an appetizing smell at first. Ignore 
it. Serve bread while still warm. It's yummy. Very.

Also, if you have the garlic cloves on hand, and you have the time, sautee 
garlic in the butter, and eliminate the garlic powder from the recipe.

I like this on a big loaf of french bread, but using a sweeter bread (like 
a wheat bread) produces a really neat contrast, and should be tried once 
you've got the hang of it. Also, experiment with the amounts of stuff. I 
wasn't real specific- different people have different tastes.

Don't forget - use the top and bottom halves, putting the ingredients on 
the open faces.
