Garlic @ MindSay


 

   
Chocolate/Black Garlic
Black garlic is to fresh garlic as raisins are to grapes: the sugar is concentrated, some of the tartness remains, its chewier. The garlic flavor is milder.

I microwaved 1/2 a Trader Joe's Semi-sweet Chocolate Mini just enough to melt it, peeled a clove of black garlic, coated the garlic with the chocolate and let it cool and harden. I ate it.

I don't know about eating it regularly, but it works in a way. The chocolate and garlic don't conflict - maybe they even compliment. In one small sample it was kinda neutral - neither compelling or repellent. If one were to consume this regularly for health reasons, as the inventor suggests, it wouldn't be painful to do so.

This is damning with faint praise, which I don't really want to do. I guess for now, the jury is out.

Snuggs  fiest told me about chocolate-covered black garlic.

Re:

For chrissakes, this is ridiculous. Just because you have difficulty differentiating from literal meaning and implied meaning, you are homophobic, grammatically challenged, and obsessed with sex doesn't mean that you can fill our blog with your meaningless shit comments designed to trigger us. For the record, homagonus is not a word, and homogeneous has nothing to do with homosexuality. The fact is, cunt is a euphamism designed to describe the vagina, and has evolved into a) an empowering statement for women as well as b) an insulting word that can describe women or men. Homosexuality has nothing to do with euphamisms, and everything to do with sexual preference. Since you're confused, I'll help you out a little bit. The thing about blogs is that multiple people can own them. That is what Supervixen and I do, we together own and run Electricunt. Also, the thing about nouns and adjectives is that if they are not diametrically opposed, multiples of either word genres can describe a single object simultaneously. That way, I can be a cunt, a bitch, a lesbo, a nerd, and a smart-ass all at the same time. It's amazing, isn't it? The wonders of the English language

 Re:

*Scratches ass, sniffs finger, Phew! *??

I am just a little puzzled by the reply that is lurking just above my reply here.

 

*Scratches ass again, doesn’t sniff finger this time! *

 

I was not talking *written word talk* To, with, nor about this little cretin, however, for some mysterious reason “He”, “She”, “They”, or “It” just had to jump into a conversation that I was having with a dear friend of mine, and interject their two ¢ worth of bad grammar into the mix.

 

First off, the judgmental little ass ring comes along with it’s sphincter all stretched out of shape from sitting on cucumbers somewhere up north and accuses me of being the very thing’s that “It” is =

 

>> For chrissakes, this is ridiculous. Just because you have difficulty differentiating from literal meaning and implied meaning, you are homophobic, grammatically challenged, and obsessed with sex << 

 

Wow! Now that’s what I call “The pot calling the kettle black Boo!”

 

*checks big book of words*

 

Seems like there is no such word as “chrissakes” anywhere on record Boo. Even if you had of used an upper case “C” it still wouldn’t be a word.

 

So there is one of those “grammatical” things that you were just harping about. *that is one*

 

>> For the record, homagonus is not a word <<


 

*Patting the educated dumb-assed little fucker on the back, while giggling my ass off! *

 

You're damn sure right about that shit Boo! It was just something that I made up as I went along to “Jerk You’re Chain!”

Looks like it worked pretty good too Boo, cause it sure got you’re tongue wagging.

 

>> comments designed to trigger us <<

 

Shit! You're just so damn easy Boo.

Don't you just hate it when some flipping know it all *like yourself* fucks themselves up with their own words?

 

So moving right along; we come to =

 

>> cunt is a euphamism <<

 

*Goes back to big book of words, grinning! *That’s actually two errors back to back, so that's two & three*

 

Now this one isn’t so terrible =

 

>> The fact is, cunt is a <<

 

That comma doesn’t add anything to the sentence and it should have been left out. *That’s four*

 

Now here is this again =

 

>> to do with euphamisms <<

 

*Goes back to big book of words [again] nope! Still not there* * That’s five*

 

You kind of lost me with this one Boo, however, I’m putting it in here so that people can see just how stupid you really are =

 

>> The fact is, cunt is a euphamism designed to describe the vagina, and has evolved into a) an empowering statement for women <<

 

*there are those same two errors again, back to back, so that's six, and seven*

 

Maybe you’re mother would feel all “empowered“ if you called her a “cunt” but my mother would slap the snot out of you for having a disrespectful mouth.

 

Here you really let “you’re genius” shine through Boo =

 

>> Since you're confused, I'll help you out a little bit. The thing about blogs is that multiple people can own them. That is what Supervixen and I do, we together own and run Electricunt. <<

 

I’m not a damn bit confused here Boo. Quite the contrary, however, you, on the other hand are “trying to be confusing” to anyone who might be reading you’re dribble.

 

In all actuality, the thing about blog’s is that “One moron”, such as yourself, can have multiple blog’s, on multiple networks, like say mindsay, and myspace, just like you do Boo!

 

So having admitted to the world that you are schizo, how many personalities and blogs do you have Boo?

 

>> That way, I can be a cunt, a bitch, a lesbo, a nerd, and a smart-ass all at the same time. <<

 

*You seemed to have left out the “Dumb Ass” tag*

 

And now last, but not least

 

>> The wonders of the English language. <<

 

*An incomplete thought, does not a sentence make Boo that’s eight*

 

Damn Baby! You sure sound like a college student, majoring in English lit or writing no doubt. = You stupid little weasel.

 

The next time that you feel like fucking with someone out in the public, at least have the fucking forethought to run your manure through a spell/grammar checker before you post it. Bye Boo!

Hey megabyte, I see you had the good sense to delete the rest of that shit that you wrote before a lot of people had a chance to read it Boo.

 

But here is some that you couldn't get to to delete, enjoy. ♥ Wendy

 



 
 
 

   
chinese cooking, and recipes..
a great chef once said, "a great chef never reveals his secrets"..or something like that.  my mother always said that a great chef simply keeps those secrets up here! ::taps temple:: (or at least, that's what i'd expect her to do if she were more american).  see in china, they don't have recipes like we do here in the states, on little cards and in cookbooks..everything is just passed down from generation to generation.  when my mom was little, she'd always stand in the kitchen and watch her own grandmother and mother as they prepared the strict three square meals a day everyone in china seemingly HAS to eat.

a couple months back, kato (and maryanne) had come up to fredericksburg for something, maybe the chinese new year celebration at the restaurant, and stayed at our house.  one of these mornings or afternoons, she'd made ground pork and garlic shoots, which kato had ever so voraciously devoured.  he remarked that he'd like a recipe for it, so he could try making it himself, to which my mother politely chuckled that even if she were to write it all down for him, that he quite frankly wouldn't be able to find garlic shoots in an american grocery store..although he certainly could try his hand at growing his own.

in china you can also buy (and cook in a similar manner) what i just now learned the name of, garlic scapes, or stems.  each clove only grows one of these of course, so once you've de-scaped your garlic, it's gone for good.  the oddest part though, is that garlic found in the states simply doesn't grow them, or perhaps they've all been bred out somehow.  they have a milder taste than the cloves themselves, and are actually kind of crisp..quite tasty.

so today he and i finally got to talking again (he got a desktop because his laptop's still kinda busted), and i basically recited the "recipe" for the dish my mother had made.  over the past few months or so, i'd been picking up the basics of stir-frying, i.e. making any meat+vegetable dish taste "chinese," which is incidentally just a few critical things, actually
—ginger, onion/scallion, and garlic.  well, and soy sauce and rice vinegar..and/or a bit of sesame oil, depending.  let me know if anyone manages to find garlic shoots, though..i'd like to try my hand at this, too :)

in other news, the lady at keymind had been on vacation, and called me earlier today saying that they'd have a decision for me within the week.  so, fingers crossed as i head to my interview up in dc tmw..

super Funky Idea
After a loooooong chat on AIM with Shotzie831 i made a lentil and pea soup. i made it the same way as i made my simple lentil soup just added a cup of split peas. so i had some garlic and half an onion from last time i did lentil soup, which i regret i puked up because of excess drinking....., i just used that to the split pea and lentil soup. what i had was an excess of garlic left over that wouldn't be used because I would still need more material for another time. so what did i do? I sauteed about 7 to 10  cloves of garlic in butter and light salt. I ate most of it but I couldn't eat the last 2. i don't know but it was super funky.


On a side note I ate gravel on my bike and got me some road rash. Shucks. it hurts to get out of bed, in and out of a car. i'm waiting, i'll tell all of you that epic tale later.
