A love letter to Garlic
March 5th, 2009
Dear Garlic-
If you were a person, I would ask you to marry me. I love you so much that my friends tell me I sometimes smell like you after a night of wild cooking. I can never get enough of you.
I remember the first time I met you. It was when my mom introduced us to each other over dinner. The way you dressed that Caesar salad is illegal in most countries.
Because of you, dear Garlic, I am not afraid of vampires. You give me courage to face the world.
In honor of you, I dedicate this post. My dear Garlic, let me count the ways I love you:
Garlicky Roast Chicken with Garlic Jus on Garlic Toast
Spaghetti with Swiss Chard and Garlic Chips
Roasted Sardines with Green Garlic and Mint
Skirt Steak with Cilantro Garlic Sauce
Orange, Sage, and Garlic Pork Tenderloin
Pineapple-Braised Ribs with Honey-Garlic Tomato Glaze
Lots of love,
Pip

Pip + Garlic = True Love

[...] I had the papardelle with short rib ragu – it was simply yummy! My friend had the linguine with clams – it was also really good. I could tell that the pasta was store bought and not homemade. That was a disappointment. But the clams were really garlicky so that wins big points! (because we all know about my love affair with garlic) [...]
