   Fun With Garlic
As a way to enhance my typing skills I have decided to write a small section once a week on something fun or interesting that I found. So diary here is the first installment.



This week’s topic is “Fun with garlic!”

Yes, that fragrantly putrid audacity that smells of a near by skunk. What’s that you say, never worked with garlic? Oh you’re missing out on all the fun! So let me tell you what you’re missing out on.

First of all, when I say working with garlic, I mean the fresh stuff. Not the dried up crap that’s in a bottle no never say the Chinese, it has to be fresh. (Side note: my family does a lot of oriental cooking, cause we used to live over seas) Yes, fresh!

So you go to the store to buy it and lucky you, it comes in a harmless looking clove. So you say, “What the heck,” and buy it. Once your home you get the pleasant chore of trying to get I or to pieces off the clove. And let me tell you, IT AIN’T EASY!

You’ll be fighting and scrapping over the stupid thing for 10 or 20 min. “Why?” You might ask. Well I’ll tell you. Once you get them off the clove then you have to get them out of there skin. And that is the hardest part off the whole process.

What you have to do is smash it with the flat part of a wide blade. This releases the flesh from the skin and in the process also gets the juice started flowing. So I bet you can guess what that means. Yep, it splashes garlic juice all over everything. If you didn’t know, garlic smell is a little something that doesn’t come out easily.

Well next you get to peal the garlic and doing that makes you fingers smell like it for several days. Once when I had to do a lot of garlic I ended making my comforter and sheets smell like garlic. It was a big pain.

Anyway after you peel the garlic you get the pleasure of smashing it even more (get ready to hose the kitchen down) then dice it into little itty-bitty pieces. Then you can proceed to cook it how you want. But by then you’re already smelling like garlic so who cares if your whole house smells like it too.
