in my ongoing quest to figure out how to add garlic to every meal
my garlic bagel has figured out how to properly complement my coffee (yes on its own). they are both bitter. they both are delicious. they both go well with hatred.
i knew breakfast was going to be my largest hurdle before dessert (no a tub of toum does not count as dessert we are civilized. we need two tubs).
Garlic in the coffee
I’m putting an alarm in my phone titled RUIN THE COFFEE at 6 am and it’s tomorrow’s me’s problem and they will blame you when they remember what it means and try it and it is bad but you know what, i had the garlic ice cream at the gilroy garlic festival i am willing to iterate through several versions of bad until we get to tolerable and stinky
My meds haven’t kicked in when I said this and I was (mostly) joking as well. But I commened you for going the distance anyway and actually trying it out
if i figure out something that actually tastes good i will let you know, and then you will have nagging guilt until you try it just watch
Alright, I got my nagging guilt. What was the result of the garlic coffee?
i slept through my alarm. gotta try again tomorrow. although today’s food experiment (replace mayonnaise with labne in secret family artichoke dip that i suck at keeping secret) was a rousing success
I also have a secret family salad recipe that I suck at keeping secret (a tub, bag, or chopped head of butter lettuce, chopped green onions (1 stick), put in salad mixing bowl. Sprinkle sea salt (or kosher salt) & garlic powder (eyeballed, enough for a couple pinches of both), toss. Put on Olive Oil (make sure it is high quality olive oil, VERY Important), enough to coat the top. toss, then sprinkle apple cider vinegar on top, less than the olive oil but cover enough ground, not too much, then toss. (Optional) put like 1/4th of a second of full faucet tap water in, then toss. Wait 10 minutes, then serve. You will never complain about eating salad again.)
okay the secret there i think is the butter lettuce maybe? i have never been sad with the butter lettuce.
It’s really the Olive Oil. My mom would go to the Croatian villages and obtain them there in empty duct taped water bottles. Then bring it overseas back to America.
Garlic scrambled eggs sounds really nice!
when you start using really good, fresh ingredients the meal starts to sing.
i used to saute up frozen corn in butter with garlic and paprika but it became a bit of a problem.
Even if you use cheap Olive Oil, Romain lettuce, and table salt and no green onions, it is still a really good salad compared to what most Americans would call a salad
you’re preaching to the choir here. i like to make my own vinaigrettes too
I was about to say, I think your secret recipe is a vinaigrette. I don’t use garlic powder in mine, but I might try it.
I sometimes substitute melted butter for the olive oil, and stir a teaspoon of sugar into it.
