by Marisa McClellan, Posted Feb 6th 2009 @ 5:05PM

~~Each~~ many Friday afternoons, I sort through the list of recipes, newspaper articles and blog posts that I've bookmarked over the previous week (or two) in order to dish up a tasty assorted eight. Here's the selection this week:

Several weeks ago, Amy made Franks & Beans and I just haven't been able to get them out of my mind.
We all have beloved kitchen tools that serve us well over the years. In this fun little post on Simmer Til Done, Marilyn says goodbye to her oven mitt.
Food Networks stars immortalized in pancakes?
Trix Are For Kids makes Lara Bars at home. Easy, cheap and you avoid any possible contact with contaminated peanut butter.
Love the taste of roasted garlic, but can't quite seem to manage to make it successfully in the oven? CNET's Appliance and Kitchen Gadgets blog introduces us to the counter-top garlic roaster.
Need a romantic dessert for your sweetie? Bake up a cake in this silicone cake pan that spells out LOVE.
Did you know that Thin Mints make up one quarter of all Girl Scout cookies sold each year?
I love cakes that get better after a day or two. This Danish Sand Cake from Kate at Warm Olives and Cook Cocktails sounds like it deserves a place in the rotation.
