Sealed with a Clove.
Our Annual Garlic Dinner is tomorrow evening - a Halloween tradition around here. Almost everyone in the family *loves* garlic along with a crowd of Rosemary House/Sweet Remembrances guests. The cook, however, prefers garlic in moderation. Tomorrow evenings dinner is anything but 'garlic in moderation'. Typically, by the end of the meal, each guest will have consumed three heads of garlic (yes, heads, not cloves). In order to continue with this annual event, we made a deal years ago... if Susanna peels the garlic, I will cook with it. Here's the first bowl full of peeled garlic... ready to be chopped~minced~roasted~marinated~chocolate covered etc.... all in preparation for the Garlic Feast. She'll be peeling the rest of the garlic later this evening. It's a deal.
Oh my, that's a lot of garlic. Can't wait to read the details and see your photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm making rosemary garlic jelly tomorrow! Latex gloves come in handy! I'll be thinking of all of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing you explain "head" vs. "clove". When I first read that I thought "clove". My goodness that's alot of garlic. I can just imagine by the end of the meal it is seeping from the pores of everyone that ate all that garlic.
