I've got news for you - it wasn't the garlic. It's the copious amounst of
alcohol you consume. You have what we call a classic case of denial. See
Step #1 of the 12 Step Program:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become
unmanageable.

Gralic is one of the essential food groups although I've yet to figure
how to get it into desserts.

Never had it, I think I only got 20 in the bird. However the garlic
shrimp in one of my favourite restauarts seems to be more garlic than
shrimp.

I would not know. I consume enough garlic daily to not worry about
it. I've always though that worrying about garlic breath just showed
that you had boring friends and family who did not appreciate good
food. (Well except perhaps the above-mentioned shrimp and the beans
from that Egyptian restaurant in Ottawa.)

Might well be worth a try. Now, where to find an ice cream
machine ....


Some friends and I once held a potato dinner for someone. He was doing
his undergrad thesis on the supply and demand of potatoes in Prince
Edward County and for some reason we found this hilarious.

IIRC getting potatoes into the dessert was a problem. I think we
finally cheated a little bit and had a sweet potato pie. It took
until the main course for him to suddenly realise that there was
something funny about the menu.

I can see that a GARLIC meal is now looking feasible.

Not a problem. On the Iron Chef about a year ago, the one fellow
sauteed garlic and bananas. The judges thought it unique and pretty
darn good.

I have been very pleased with my Salton, model ICM21, ice cream maker. You
can see an example of that model at:
http://www.ikitchen.com/saicecrmaic....10=saicecrmaic

I lost custody of my first one in a divorce settlement; I found another for
$10 at a local thrift store (St. Vincent DePaul, on Forest Park Blvd. for
you St. Louisans). It has served me well for a number of years and, now
that fresh blueberries are inexpensive ($1.49/pint at Aldi), will be
churning out blueberry ice cream within a day or two.

I finally gave up on fresh garlic and switched to granulated.
Fresh just does not agree with me any more. <sigh> Makes me really ill
while granulated garlic does just fine.

The exception is roasted fresh garlic. I'm okay with that.

The best solution to garlic breath and yes, the smell that comes form
your pores, is to make sure your friends eat as much of it as you do.
You will all be healthier and the folks that object - you don't want
to be talking to them anyway.

Andy,
Talk to an allergist, dude. You're allergic to garlic.

Guy I work with has the same problem. Going out to lunch with him is a PITA.
Mostly it's the salad place in the mall, or the other salad place in the
mall. Every place else has garlic in just about everything.

I was momentarily taken back too but then I remembered that the SoCal
location had been mentioned here before. Look at the website.
There's two of them!

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

That probably wasn't from the garlic. Garlic is believed to be effective
in *lessening* inflammation, which is what pancreatitis is.

Could be the oil rather than the garlic.

Not much of the essential oils left in those, plus they are heated to
some extent.

Why not? The garlic is thoroughly cooked.

Eat garlic all the time. Eventually the body adjusts how it metabolises
the sulphur compounds that cause the 'smell'.

Rub peppermint oil on the soles of your feet. Not the oil you get in
grocery stores but the pure peppermint oil you get in health food
stores.
