Review: It’s cooking night again, and even though we still have the jar of crushed garlic I bought last week, tonight’s recipe calls for minced garlic. Though it is tempting to be the typical lazy man in this situation and just throw in a bit of the crushed garlic, you have to understand something.
I’m very passionate about cooking.
Not that I follow recipe directions to the letter, because I don’t. In fact, I add spices and other ingredients all of the time to make my own creations (remind me to tell you about my pizza omelette sometime). Most guys probably wouldn’t think much of the difference between minced and crushed, but to me that is like cooking with apples and oranges! Crushed means you are adding flavor. Minced means you are adding texture and flavor. Big difference, see! Shutup. Cooking is something I enjoy and I don’t get to do it as much as I would like to, so I like to make a process out of it.
Jewel’s produce is usually hit or miss, but I don’t think it is that easy to screw up something like a head of garlic. This particular one was large and stinky, just the way it is supposed to be.
