I grow my own garlic

Daughter's Father-in-law grew some this year, I didn't. He gave me pounds of the stuff.

I used my normal amount in a recipe. I reeked of garlic for 2 days.

Garlic can be highly variable. I now test, like I do jalapenos. What he gave me should last until 2014. ;)

It goes to show you the difference between real food and what you buy in the stores.

The herbs I've dried and stored myself are WAY stronger than anything I've gotten out of a bottle.
