What's a *cubic* glass jar?
I hope those fishing sinkers weren't bare lead.

It's rare that I need to peel more than six cloves at once so this is
my usual method: "simply slice each garlic clove in half lengthwise,
from tip to root. This will also slice the skin, making it easy to
lift it off from each half. This method is good when you're going to
slice or mince the garlic."
