Don't do it Kim! It's a trap.

There is nothing that a little garlic can't improve. And it's good in this economy - it stays with you for a long time - you certainly get your money's worth.

awwww but so so so worth it..and hey they say garlic is good for you. Besides your married of all the "smells" found within a family I am sure garlic breath isn't the worst one to ever be experienced ..hahaha

In our home garlic bread is a favorite but so too are garlic mashed potatoes. my whole house smells like garlic for 17 hours!!!

Savannah - parsley? Yeauch...

FMC - now she tells me...

Brave Astronaut - and it keeps the vampires away!

Debra - the family that garlics together...

KarateMom - strangely I never ever smell the garlic on Maggie's breath, but she really smells it on mine.

Anna - no point, just an observation :)

When I was young I would go to all sorts of lengths to rid my breath of the smell of garlic, stopping short only of not actually eating the garlic in the first place. Now I just think 'stay away from me if you don't like it!'

You must do what I do. When Martha eats garlic I sleep in the back yard for a few days.

Eryl - life's so much easier when it's someone elses problem :)

Charlie - you mean you don't make Martha sleep in the backyard? Wot a gent!

Pat - not a good thing to eat before bedtime. Cup of hot chocolate ought to do it

BD Barman - wrong way round - the ads are placed depending on the text on the page, to make the contextual. Earlier on I was seeing ones for Lanterns and Eddi Reader

LegalMist - can you get Garlic Beer I wonder?

I wouldn't sell out for a clove of Garlic. Chocolate truffles, perhaps, but not garlic.

Ah, but Kim -- the memory lasts a lot longer!

Kim Ayres said...

Jessie - unless the vampires also happen to be French chefs...

BD Barman - and my wife makes the finest chocolate truffles known to humankind. They are so dangerous we can only have them once a year

Mary - only if the experience is dodgy...

The more of it you consume, the less it reeks.

Keep it coming, it's good for the blood too.

Sarah - well, I was trying to think of a basket full at a mealtime. But you could be right...

BD Barman - Can't say I know Terry Kelly? Anything I should know anout him?

Conan - so long as it doesn't add iron. It wouldn't help my haemochromatosis...
