Sorry Martha but banging the head of garlic around in two metal bowls simply
did not work. It did create an extreme amount of racket leading someone to
scream a lot and say that he was not eating it. It did however at least
take off the majority of the papery stuff and partially separate the cloves.
Perhaps had I kept at it, it would have worked but it was beginning to tire
me out.

What worked like a dream though was the garlic peeler. It's like a flexible
sleeve. Just put the cloves in one at a time and rub. Peel comes right
off. So total time for all 3 cloves was perhaps 10 minutes, if that. Would
have taken me a lot longer to do this by hand.

Oh crap! I mixed them up again. I did three HEADS! The pasta recipe calls
for two heads. The soup calls for three cloves. I kept thinking in my mind
that I must remove 3 cloves. I think I will just put all of the other
garlic in with the pasta. Although the garlic looked perfectly fine on the
outside there was one mushy clove and some were very tiny. There was a
whole lot of papery stuff in there in relation to the amount of garlic. I
should probably just stop buying produce at that store. *sigh*

Nothing wrong with the store or stores. What you need is someone to
teach you how to cook. Good Lord, you should have learned by now...you've
been at it for thirty years or more.

3 cloves takes you 10 minutes? Or do you mean 3 heads?

It is a sickness that revolves around that poor dysfunctional woman.
Whether or not it is true, she will probably change her story and deny
that she even wrote that.

No. There is something wrong with the store. It's the same one where I got
the fennel that was old and almost all fronds. Quite often the produce is
visibly not good. The garlic looked fine but the day after I got it home,
one bulb grew a long green shoot. I didn't use that one. I bought another.
But it too was growing inside.

Yes. Heads. Looks like I am still getting those terms mixed up. I do the
same with celery. I say stalk when I mean rib.

Nope. He is eating it, I think. Not sure. At least I put the plate down.
No feedback so don't know if it is good or not.

Nope. Also had the salad and the soup. I didn't bother to make rolls.
Have been trying to reach my mom. I realized after she said she hadn't
grocery shopped and wanted me to pick stuff up for her that she probably had
no Christmas dinner so... Am going to offer to bring food over since ours
is all cooked already and there is extra. I know she would like the salad
but am not sure about the other stuff. Guess I could do a small batch of
mac and cheese to take as well, just in case.

Alas my tastes are not that of my extended family. I love beans, onions,
peppers and tomatoes and they do not.

Someone screamed a lot because of food prep noise? Wow.

I've always just used a knife to peel garlic. Whap, voila!
