MiddleFingerMomMom's spaghetti sauce recipe fortunately only called for
1 or 2 cloves for a big pot, so a 1-or-2-bulb sauce -- while pungent and
calling for courage and fortitude (intestinal and otherwise) was still edible
(on a VERY limited budget, most mistakes are much more edible than in
ordinary circumstances).

Not knowing my mistake, for years I was willing to compromise by only
putting 10-12 cloves in. My GF at he time told me she could ALWAYS tell
when I had made spaghetti within the last 3 days as I would SWEAT garlic.
