Hi sweetie~Do I love garlic? Is a blue bird blue?
I'm sure I must walk around in a green cloud--yet no one has yet backed away from me! I'm a savoury, not a sweet person, so I can truthfully say I use garlic (& lots of it) in absolutely everything. One of my favourites is roast garlic, not Elephant garlic--that's too mild--on warm sourdough with olive oil & sun dried tomatoes. I love to crunch raw garlic in salads. I even "snack" on garlic toasted in olive oil. JUST garlic all by itself! Both my sister & I love to cook, & we used to watch the Food Network. What a joy when I found out the easiest way to peel garlic! Put the clove on the chopping block & give it one good whack with the side of a chef's knife. The skin slips right off.
& guess what? I love the smell of it on my hands! My grandpa used to wear a strand of garlic around his neck. (Born in Croatia; I've never seen anyone else do that.) I've heard that they have garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, but I have no taste for ice cream so...
Some time, roast some big green chili peppers--peel off the skins, very lightly par boil onions, & put them in a jar with olive oil & lots & lots of garlic cloves, & a tad of white vinegar. Be sure to let them "marry." GREAT on polenta!
Hey, maybe my grandpa knew something--try a string of garlic around your neck & maybe--oops, I'm even afraid to say it--absit omen!! you'll get your account back. We're still trying.
Have a wonderful garlic day! :):):)

I know you're not gonna believe me, but I'm THE NUMBER 1 GARLIC FAN in the world. On average, I consume (i.e. in raw state, as garlic tea, and/or in, on, with anything and everything) over 6,5 pounds (that's roughly 3 kilos) of GARLIC every single month - yes my dear Moon, every single month. And that is NOT counting the incidental garlic that might have been used in the preparation of restaurant and/or take out food. Once in fact, I eat so much garlic that just smelling my fumes cured a friend of mine of his cancer - or so he claims! LOL But make no mistake about it, I do NOT eat all that garlic just because it is good for me, I eat it because I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT. Like I said, I like garlic anything: foods, jams, sweets, teas, chocolates, red pepper & garlic, even garlic on garlic tastes great to me. But garlic butter marinated BBQ-ed shrimps (or lobsters) and garlic-robbed rib eye steak and fresh garlic bread are out of this world. See what you did, now I'm all hungry - you are a mean mean lady; now I know why Y!A suspended you! :-) Just kidding, my dear. Pay no heed to those Y!A ONION heads, my sweet Moon - keep eating your garlic, have fun with your friends (here/everywhere), and absorb the GOOD rays of the Sun, so you can shine brightly every night. Have Fun!

Cannot live without my garlic. No curry is complete without garlic in it. All my gravy dishes have ginger-garlic paste. So you see my love for garlic is so true!

Yes, I love garlic. It is very good with carmelized brown sugar for fried tofu.
HOWEVER, if you ever do a full detox fast, you must stay away from garlic as it impairs your brain a bit (makes you stupid).

I love garlic. On everything. :) Just put a small dash of it in your meals- garlic is actually a natural antibiotic and antioxidant, and it also keeps the mosquitos away. And it adds flavor to just about everything. :)
