Garlic is in the house!

“To dream that you are eating garlic denotes that you will discover hidden secrets and meet with some domestic jar. To dream that there is garlic in the house is lucky.” ~ Richard Foulard in 'Plant Lore' (1884)

The smell of garlic in the air as one lifts it out of the ground is heavenly! And now that the curing and cleaning is finished, the aroma of garlic will be wafting out of my kitchen. You have been warned!

After the drying ...












... the cleaning and trimming ...
... the braiding ...
Garlic Braids - hard neck on the left, soft neck on the right















... the enjoying!

"Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good."  ~ Alice May Brock (of 'Alice's Restaurant' fame)
