Garlic, anyone?
In our house, I’m usually the one who does the shopping, but every once in a while my husband will make a grocery store run. For years now, I’ve been trying to teach him that when ‘garlic’ is on the list, it means at least 2 or 3 bulbs, and not the single bulb he usually comes home with. I use a lot of garlic, and I hate to run out!
So the other day, my husband triumphantly came home from shopping with a net full of 10 heads of garlic. This was a fabulous breakthrough in his grocery shopping habits… or it least it would have been if it wasn’t for the fact that we are moving to a different country in two weeks.
But I am rising to the challenge. In fact, I love the excuse to use even more garlic than usual in my cooking. I can’t think of an ingredient I’d rather overuse more. Can you?
8 opinions for Garlic, anyone?

Jul, I can help you get rid of at least one of those garlic heads. Try this White Bean and Garlic Stew. I use a whole head of unchopped garlic, but some people like even more. It’s delicious!
Overall, I’d say having too much garlic is a good problem to have. :-)

You’re lucky! My wife has a “Garlic means no kissing” rule in place. :(

Gal - what I’ve learned this week is that if both of you have eaten enough garlic, you won’t even notice that the other person has garlic breath. :)
