Friday Night Dinner Thread... Mmmmmm The theme is GARLIC

[QueenOfCalifornia]

Me? I am making corn chowder, putting those brats on the grill and having some garlic bread. It smells like heaven here. I use lots of garlic in the chowdah'

And you?

What's for dinner?

[WinkyDink]

1. I knew you'd ask! Haddock with fennel/tomatoes/olives; orzo with Pecorino Romano; golden

cauliflower.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

2. I like you

for making that. Don't forget the GARLIC!

[WinkyDink]

4. Next time; never made it before!

(garlic, 1 egg, milk, vegetable stock )-> mixed it-> dipped bread into it -> fried the bread.

6. Have you ever had chicken with 40 cloves of garlic?

Poulet à quarante gousses d'ail as it's called in Provence. It sounds like it would be overpowering, but it's not. It has a good garlic flavor, but no strong aftertaste or bad breath. It's delicious.

8. I cut up and roasted some potatos with thyme and.....garlic!

Sliced some jalpeño-cheddar bread, dipped one side in egg,
and fried it topped with cheese. The egg got a bit of salt,
pepper, and garlic.

I love garlic- it's just the BEST. My spice cupboard has about
40 of the little 1.5 oz bottles and tins of various spices, and one
jumbo 1 1/2 pound jug of garlic powder.

9. Life would be incomplete without garlic.

That is just the plain, simple truth.... period.

14. In the last few months, I've gotten into using "elephant garlic".

The taste is definitely a litle different, but still similar enough
to work as a direct substitute...

But mostly, it's a REAL good excuse to use MORE GARLIC!

A single clove is the size of half a golf ball; and
once I peel it, I feel that I have a MORAL OBLIGATION
to use the whole thing, y'know?

I was raised to believe that it's a SIN to waste food.
If that means I have to TRIPLE the garlic in a given recipe,
then that's what I have to do!
(because I'm just ALL about "not sinning", donchaknow!)

10. I made spaghetti carbonara last night.

15. Well, I WAS debating between having chicken again

with veggies and mashed potatos, or doing pasta with lots of garlic in it and garlic bread... hmm... wonder which one I'll choose now. :)
