Garlic has the ability to grow without any water...
it has allot of stored energy in that bulb

how you peel garlic is everyone's own way and preference...

some people take an individual clove and moosh it underneath
a flat knife to peel it real fast....and get the paper/peel off...fast
that is the lazy way.... imho

i prefer to twist the clove since as they are kind of like rubber...
one direction and then the other until the paper or peel finally snaps

you can make garlic bread with heated french bread in a toaster oven...after you coarsely chop the garlic and lightly cook it in a frying pan with butter until it just starts to get crispy brown on the edges. you can top that off with cheese and re-melt it in the oven.

the rule is: the finer you chop it the stronger the garlic flavor.

another thing i do, is to add garlic as whole peeled UNCHOPPED cloves to any kind of soup, chili, or stew and they cook soft like a potatoe ... and the flavor is rather mild....(not overpowering)
then, ............from it not being chopped

the deoderized kyorlic garlic pearls can be taken if your not wanting to cook with it...

sometimes i cook it outside on the gas grill just to keep the house
from getting to garlic-ed out...
