Garlic
Do you like to cook with garlic? I love the way it makes the house smell cozy and warm. We have agreed that as long as all of us eat garlic it is ok. If only one person has stinky breath it is not a good thing. Did you know that eating asparagus makes your pee stink? Oh, that is for another post.
Garlic spices up a meal without having to add a lot of other ingredients. Ancient Egyptians used garlic for dental care by pressing softened garlic into teeth that needed repair. They also used it to season their food. Nothing like a good slab of goat slathered with garlic to make your toes curl.
If you are afraid to pick out garlic here are a few tips. Choose heads that are firm. Avoid those with soft cloves, cuts or dark blemishes beneath the skin.
If garlic breath bothers you, try chewing on a piece of parsley.

Garlic is a major ingredient in several recipes, leaving it out wouldn’t be good at all. I use garlic in many recipes I make. I think it makes my hands smell for days though, soap is rendered nearly useless at times

I have heard that washing your hands with salt will take onion smell out so maybe it will work with garlic.
