I walked in and noticed that she had damn near a quarter cup in the burger mix!
my bowels have been a wreck since I've been here. I think stress and this have been the issue. SO glad I am leaving today!

I use garlic powder to make garlic toast etc. and in soups ... things like that.
I use dried MINCED garlic for other things. It's much more like the real thing, but nothing really stacks up to fresh.
That's the one thing I've (sort of) grown in my "garden"/flower bed the last couple of years.
P.S. Bowles. TMI!!!
