Sometimes life throws disappointments your way, but there is always another way, or just substitutions. Thankfully I had some garlic in the refrigerator, but I was trying to keep my garlic in the pantry closet in a basket. Apparently, somehow my garlic was too moist and it became moldy on me. How do you store your garlic? Is it store bought or farmers market bought?
I have had this in my fridge for a few weeks now. I decided to use it because it was not growing anything (mold or greenery). Mr. Bishops directions on how to prepare the garlic, was unusual to me. I needed to keep enough skin on to keep the cloves from falling off, and then I needed to cut the tops off for some reason I do not understand. I have no idea on how to research, or what in the world I did.
It smelled weird cooking. That might have been because this was not a fresh bunch of garlic. The smell was almost not that pleasant and it freaked me out the first time I smelled it, because that was not what I was expecting. It all worked.
IT tasted ok, but there was not much flavor. I was supposed to just squeeze these onto the bread, but I think I took them out too soon. If only I knew the science behind what was supposed to happen here! I think it needed more salt too...

Things I discovered on the Internet while goofing off this week:
1) Grow your own celery from the celery you bought at the store. Best done in late winter!

Final thought:
Are the ice cubes falling out or jumping up??
