I have to leave the house every time my daughter cooks something. She likes to crush garlic and put it in her food and I finally had to tell her to never do it again if I am home. This was the 2nd time this week. It is still burning my eyes like onions and I still feel like puking and it was 2 hours ago since she cooked. Am I allergic to it or is garlic supposed to do that to you?

One of my employees used to roast cloves of garlic on the grill and eat them with everything. He smelled like garlic when he sweated. Heck he even reeked of it when he didn't sweat. Not to mention all the fartin.....

I like me a little garlic. Not too much though and definitely not as the main seasoning in anything.

I used to have a family come in to see me that were into garlic. They stunk the place up, it was disgusting. It oozed out their pores.

If I try a new recipe that doesn't call for garlic, I put in garlic anyway.

If I try a new recipe that does call for garlic, I double it.

My mom makes a veal piccata that's just amazing, so I asked her to write down the recipe for me.

One of the instructions was, "Add the garlic (twice as much as you think you need.)"

That's the only time that I might have used too much garlic.

It was still damned good, though.

You guys are all making me sick. Actually I still haven't recovered from the earlier incident. I'm finding all the garlic in the house and stuffing it in my new recycle bin under the back deck.

I put that shit on everything.

My favorite pizza is a chorizo, spinach, feta, roasted garlic concoction that is out of this f'n world. It takes two whole heads of garlic for a medium pizza to cover it just right.

Hey, Void.

You might be a vampire.

Think about it.

My sister in law gave us a quesadilla maker (pretty much a waffle press for tortillas) and my favorite thing to make on it is just to brush the tortillas with olive oil, sprinkle on a little mozzarella and parmesan, fresh basil leafs, chives, and about five cloves of thinly sliced garlic.

Simple, yet amazing.

Seriously, my eyes are still watering and I'm sick to my stomach and I am pretty sure it's not the Schlafly Summer Lager doing it. It doesn't effect anyone else in the house. Why just me?

I've never reached the "too much garlic" threshold.

Everything. All the time. Lots.

Doesn't make me gassy.Huh

Roast the garlic first and it takes on a more subtle flavor. Sliced raw is pretty strong and can overpower the rest of the dish pretty easy.

Just wrap them in tin foil and stick em in the oven for 45 minutes at about 400F. Let them cool down before you pull the cloves out of the head or your fingers will get a little too toasty. It also helps them maintain their shape. They come out like a goo when they're too hot. Use 2-3 times as much when it's roasted if you still want the same flavor, but it won't have the aggressive bite that raw garlic has.

Yep I luv Garlic, onions all that good stuff too. I don't put salt on anything and make up for it in other ways that aren't as bad for your body.

Excessive sodium is BAD!

Geezer,
We have one of those too and never use it, just might havta try that!

Thanks,
G

It may make you feel better but I still feel like someone jammed raw minced onions into my eyes and made me eat a bucket of habaneros. And I didn't even eat any of it. I must definitely be allergic to that shit.

Ever notice that they don't make an air freshener that smells like garlic? By the way, ever make a tuna drink? I have. I regret it.

I love garlic and have been cooking with it more and more. Seems like I can never put enough of it.

Ya know, some cultures in the Orient have a nickname for Americans which means: "smells like milk". I got on this Paleo diet about 2 years ago, and it excludes all dairy. Since then, I can smell which women I date eat dairy products. It's a sour smell...almost disgusting.

Just sayin'.

I've heard about the healing properties of garlic. Some people cram that stuff up their ass. Sounds like a more appropriate place for it.

I eat a shit-load of garlic and the only time I've ever been accused of smelling of it was when I ate at a certain Thai restaurant in L.A.

I ate there several times a week while recording my last album, and every time I did, I'd come home and my wife would say, "You had Thai for dinner again, didn't you?"

Maybe all the spicy stuff makes it come out more?

If I wasn't a happily married man, I'd be taking you out for Asian food every other night. Evil
