So listen. There are many ingredients or tools that people stock their kitchen with that drive me nuts. Today, I want to talk about Jared Garlic. Yes, it's convient. But is it really fresh???? Why does it have such an odd color???? Let me put it to you like this. For me, if I am going to cook, then taking the time to chop the garlic cloves is part of that process. Chances are that you already have a messy cutting board and knife so why skip this step. Smashing the cloves with the back of my knife to release the paper is almost theraputic. Take your agressions out on the garlic and you will have a much tastier dish. Plus, the added bonus of the lingering smell that perfumes your hands the rest of the day is pure bliss.

So, here is your mission should you choose to accept. Go into your refriderator right now, grab that jar (most likely expired) of garlic and chuck it into the trash. Now, make a promise to yourself never to replace it and enjoy the cooking experience!
