Garlic planting time!

Every year on oct. 6th(which also happens to be my beautiful friend Stacy's birthday) I plant garlic. I go out there and dig in the chilly wet earth, prepare a nice smooth raised bed, poke those little white cloves in the ground and wait for the little green shoots to poke up. It's rather nice in such damp cold wintry weather, to dream of next summers garlic harvest.

I love garlic.

Garlic is my ally. As soon as I feel a cold coming on, I slam some garlic. I mince it into everything-well, not quite everything, but everything garlic goes well with...Soups, humus, meat, stirfry, fish, yogurt sauce...etc, etc, etc...

Sometimes if I'm really feeling hardcore, I just mix a minced clove with a little water and down it like a shot.

More often than not, I don't even catch the cold. The garlic just SCARES it right out of my bod.

Plus, it's yummy. I like to soak minced garlic in olive oil and herbs for a while, then dip bread in it-especially that crusty on the outside, soft and doughy on the inside kind of bread.

0r, have you ever had fresh, hot, roasted garlic with basil and olive oil, spread lovingly all over sourdough bread?

No? Go thou forth and enjoy the goodness of garlic.
