Eileen, Ian would be welcome to some garlic--no need to sneak! Nettie, I agree, there is no such thing as too much garlic! I like to roast a whole...
We harvested our garlic yesterday and hung it in the barn. We have adequate garlic for the next year (my husband says enough for the entire...
Oh, Happy Anniversary! You two demonstrate what "a match made in heaven" means!

Grape leaves impart a dill flavor. I've used them in pickling also when my dill ran out.
