I forgot to mention that all of us are way in to dipping bread into oil mixed with all kinds of herbs n' stuff. Here's a dipping spice recipe that I got from one of those "copycat" websites (it was a while ago so I don't have a link to it).  It is also great as a pasta topping or combined with tomatoes for bruschetta.    angry chicken has some oil and vinegar dipping sauces on her site today; her post reminded me of the joys of dipping.
Carrabba's Dipping Spice
1 T minced fresh basil (or 1 tsp dried)
1 T chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
1 T minced fresh garlic
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano (or 1 T fresh)
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary (or 1/4 tsp dried)
1/2 tsp ground sea salt or kosher salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/8 tsp lemon juice
Combine first bunch of ingredients.  Add remaining ingredients.  To serve, combine about 1 1/2 tsp spice blend with 3-4 T olive oil in a small dish.
Yield:  1/4 cup spice blend
