I tried garlic in a jar. I didn't like it. There are a few things that I use
garlic powder for. I saw pre peeled garlic for the first time just the other
day. I didn't see much point in getting it. It's easy enough to peel garlic.
Just break off a clove, lay a wide knife across it and press down a bit. A
section of peel comes off an d you just pull the rest off. I usually get a new
supply of garlic when I am down to 2 buds.
I have been going through a lot of garlic lately. I have been mincing it and
frying it in butter with some dried chili flakes, grated ginger and various
additives for a sauce with angel hair pasta. I use 2-3 good size cloves for two
servings.
