Take Off Your Coat


I've spent the entire afternoon taking shots for this blog and have run out of time. Cathy and I are headed out to visit our friend Marina, bearing a pot of white bean soup for dinner. But, I've been thinking that it's time I left you with some useful information and wanted you to know how to take the skin off a garlic clove. With the weather becoming wintery, garlic is a kitchen staple.

So, remove a clove from the head of garlic, and smash it with the side of your kitchen knife. Do this by placing the knife on top of the clove and rapping it with the heel of your hand. If doing this with a knife freaks you out, find a little pan or something else that's flat and try it with that. The skin will come away and you are ready to chop. Or slice. Or put in a garlic press. One can never get enough garlic!
