I remember Will well and all our knife discussions. I wonder what Agonette is doing now, all grown up. | |||

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Anush: A large percentage of garlic comes from China. DO NOT buy chinese garlic. Buy only California or Mexican garlic. I remember, not that many years ago, when Gilroy California was the Garlic Capital Of The World. One could smell it miles before you got to Gilroy. Gilroy garlic is still very good, it's not as easy to find as it used to be. . | |||

I keep mine in a split leather satchel closed with a home-made cord made from cat gut, along with a wooden cross and a cold steel dagger, the latter a more modern touch in case things go sideways. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

I use a stoneware garlic keeper that I inherited from my mother's kitchen. No rot ever. Worst it will do is dry out, but that happens very slowly. | |||

I wear it as a necklace to keep vampires away. Added bonus is also keeping everybody else away. | |||

Hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar. We grow our own. Lots of it. After it's dried, we cut off the stalks and keep the bulk of it in an open bin in the same space as our winter squash. We have a quart jar with no lid in the fridge with about a dozen heads for ready use. There are no vampires here at Willow Fen Farm. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

This is the correct way if you buy any quantity. Our garlic farm back home sold elephant ear or Carpathian in large braids. They hang in your cool, dark garage until you need them. | |||

I store mine in a big bowl on the counter with onions, shallots, potatoes, the occasional tomato or some other veggie I’m about to chop up. I rarely have a problem but it’s maybe 10-15 heads at most. I did have to run over and check to see if it was Chinese! Whew- Cali grown. Learn something new every day. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

During the heat of Summer as garlic is harvested, the entire Gilroy-area is quite fragrant for several months. If you appreciate or, just love garlic, come down to Gilroy and indulge. | |||

Agony is well. His older daughter is, well, older, and is lovely. He has a younger daughter, too, who is as cute as a bug. As to garlic, I don't buy more than I use every two or three weeks, and I never have any trouble. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Another for the freezer. I find it works fine and I can't go through a 3 lb costco bag before it gets bad. And I get the 3 lb costco bag, use it fresh for a bit then off into the freezer for the end. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.
