When all were in their places Father said grace and, excusing himself, left the family to retire to his study. He frequently spent thirteen hours a day studying. He managed this amazing amount of time by husbanding every hour of the day. He usually arose at four in the morning, indulging himself in the later rising time of five in the winter. In this way he was far along in his studies while the household slept. He preferred to eat alone, usually certain foods which he had by experimentation discovered kept his mind and body most sprightly. This morning he did not eat the rich menu which Venus set before the rest of the household, the home-cured bacon and the delicious hot breads. But at the end of the meal, he rejoined his family for morning devotions.

INSTRUCTIONS

I was just mixing this up for a party I'm having on Sunday and thought you
all would enjoy the recipe. This is soooooo good and simple. I always hope
to have leftovers and I end up eating it for lunch (or even dinner) the
next day. It comes from the Mr. Food Cookbook - OH, It's So Good -
Cut a hole in the top of the bread loaf about 5 inches in diameter. Remove
soft bread from cut portion and discard. Reserve crust to make top for
loaf. Scoop out most of the soft inside portion of the loaf and save for
other purposes, such as stuffing or dried bread crumbs. In the butter,
saute the green onions and the garlic until the onions wilt. Cut the cream
cheese into small chunks, add the onions, garlic, sour cream and cheddar
cheese. Mix well. Fold in artrichoke hearts, Out all of this mixture into
hollowed out bread. Place top on bread and wrap in a couble thickness of
heavy duty aluminum foil. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours. When
ready, remove foil and serve, using cocktail rye bread to dip out the
sauce.
