Blessing #6 {Garlic}
Call me stinky, smelly and other choice names if you will but my blessing for week 6 of 2008 52 blessings is garlic. It took me some time to come around. As a kid I visited this place below half a dozen times on our way to California vacations....Garlic WorldWhen Dad pulled up here on our way to Gilroy or San Francisco as kids we would roll our eyes - but now I wish I could go back.

Maybe you could teach me how to cook with it! I have a really yummy chicken, spinach, artichoke recipe that calls for it, but I am too chicken to try it!
In ohio the have all kinds of crazy festivals. Popcorn festival, strawberry festival, gourd festival, potatoe festival and even a GARLIC FESTIVAL! ...haha you would love it! you can smell garlic miles away from the place they hold the event. Its pretty hilarious :)
No worries Kamarah. Food is definitely one of our many blessings. haha Garlic is mighty tasty. I didn't care for it much as a child, but since I am now a die hard Rachael Ray fan, and she pretty much uses fresh garlic in every dish she makes..I too love fresh garlic. However I have discovered (since I HATE smashing garlic and getting the smell all over my hands to NEVER go away) that you can buy minced garlic at the store. In fact Walmart and Costco have a nice sized one for not too bad a price. So...I'm right there with ya!!
I'm with you. I love garlic and cook with it all the time.
