Wow. It’s been a busy few weeks! Last Sunday was my first bridal shower, which was eons of fun. Two of my best friends (also bridesmaids) were in from Boston so the weekend was filled with fun times with them and driving all over the state. Family was in from New York as well so I saw them, and we had to figure out some mini-tuxedo issues (for the little ring bearers). But I digress.
At the shower, we acquired a great gift – a Magic Bullet. I heart this thing, don’t ask me why. Anyway, lots of recipes call for cloves of garlic and we were all out. So at Meijer I planned on doing what any normal person would do when he/she is out of garlic: buy some more. Here comes the problem, though: there is a severe short of garlic in Monroe. Why? I don’t know, but I genuinely hope there’s not a plethora of vampires planning on invading the area because I’ll be the only one underprepared. I found two cloves of organic garlic that were 1/2 grown and that was seriously the last of the fresh garlic I could find anywhere. Honestly. And today when I went to the nearby Kroger, I couldn’t find any there, either. So either people are afraid of vampires (if so, sorry I took the last garlic) or this was a huge weekend for the fruit/vegetable/herb/spice/whatever it is.
Which is better to assume – the impending vampire invasion or a stinky area invaded by garlic breath? Hmmmm….
Naaah, just too much Emeril Ligasse getting others to finally “BAM!” their way through the garlic cloves.
weird…i’m trying to grow some garlic after reading some posts on the ‘all things green’ blog….it’s not ready yet so i can’t give you any, i hope it was just a shipping issue, how in the world to people cook without garlic?
Hi we found this website totally on a whim. I have be sitting here enjoying reading your posts. Congrats on the recent marriage. My hubby loved that you want a caribou coffee place in Monroe (so does he). what i thought was neat that you were typing about places i have lived all my life. Most people in monroe just can’t await to get out of the area and it is nice to hear someone like it. I don’t know if you have inlaws here or if work brought you. I know that we have lived here all of our lives that the same stuff is getting boring and we find ourselves dringing north or south for entertainment. This website gave us the idea about going to bolles harbor cafe for dinner (not to mention the take along bottle of wine we remembered). So thank you!! Angie C.
