I use a lot of cooking in my garlic.



There is no such thing as too much garlic in anything.

I use good garlic powder (granulated) mostly, but when I use the real
deal I just smash it with the side of the cleaver and rough chop it.

Yup. I thought I useta use a lot of garlic. Then I married Jun. She uses a
LOT of garlic! Now I use about 10 times what I used to.

OK guys, next batch will try one head.
btw, I asked Lucille what she used. She said she uses a molcajete. I
suggested a garlic press. Nope, she won't use anything except that
molcajete my father gave my mother in 1936.

All garlic is not created equal. Most stupidmarket garlic is
of the softneck type. (Lots of rows around the center)
Hardneck (hard stem in the middle and one row of "toes"
around the outside) typically tends to be somewhat stronger.
There are literally hundreds of different types of garlic.
If she put 6 or 8 in and it still was very mild, it's
possible that you have elephant garlic, which really isn't
garlic - it's a variant of the leek and usually has very
large "toes".

We like hot/strong varieties . . . and we like
garlic which is kinda obvious by the fact that I grow it
every year. ;-

Here in the NE US
you plant just before the weather is going to snap cold,
usually in October and harvest in late June or July.

I grow garlic, shallots, leek, & chives [and just a few onions]. I
buy most of my onions.
