is simple and delicious. Follow these six easy steps to make a healthy and tasty snack.</span></p></div><ul style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><li style="list-style: disc;"><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">*1. Clean the seeds.**</span></li></ul><div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><p><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">Clean the pumpkin seeds by separating them from the guts. Put the seeds and the guts into a bowl of water and use your hands to break them apart. The seeds will float to the top of the water, making the cleaning process less time-consuming.</span></p></div><ul style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><li style="list-style: disc;"><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">*2. Boil the seeds for 10 minutes in salt water.**</span></li></ul><div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><p><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">In a medium-sized pot, add the pumpkin seeds and 1 tsp of salt to water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the seeds simmer for about 10 minutes over low-medium heat. This method makes the seeds easier to digest and produces a crispy outer shell during roasting. If you're short on time, you can skip this step.</span></p></div><ul style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><li style="list-style: disc;"><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">*3. Drain the seeds and dry lightly with a paper towel or tea towel.**</span></li></ul><div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><p><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">Drain the seeds in a colander and lightly dry them with a paper towel or tea towel. The seeds will stick to the towel, but you can rub them off with your fingers. Make sure to give them a light pat down.</span></p></div><ul style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><li style="list-style: disc;"><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">*4. Spread the seeds onto a baking sheet and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.**</span></li></ul><div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><p><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">Spread the seeds onto a baking sheet and add 1/2-1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil. Massage the oil into the seeds and add a generous sprinkle of Herbamare. You can also use fine grain sea salt. Try to spread out the seeds as thin as possible with minor overlapping.</span></p></div><ul style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><li style="list-style: disc;"><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">*5. Roast the seeds at 325F for 10 minutes.**</span></li></ul><div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.3; margin-left: 0px;"><p><span style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0em;">Roast the seeds in the oven at 325F for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and stir. Roast for another 8-10 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of roasting, remove a few seeds and crack them open to make sure the inner seeds are not burning.

This is a great option for freezing at home as well because it makes the corn even easier to use, as the cooking is already done. Remove the corn from the cob, blanch it in salted water for two minutes, drain, and immediately shock in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Remove the corn to a towel to drain, pat dry, and then freeze in whatever quantity you prefer. You can also boil the whole corn on the cob and then remove the kernels for freezing.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: center;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">Freezing Method #2: Unblanched Corn Kernels</b></div></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">My favorite way to freeze corn is raw because it’s easy to do and versatile to use once thawed. First, remove kernels from the cob. Once the kernels have been removed from the cob, you can</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">pop them in a freezer bag (or vacuum seal them), label and date them, and store them in the freezer for up to 12 months. For those who love corn chowder save your cobs, freeze them the same way until you’re ready to make corn stock or corn chowder.</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="jsx-3982579097 Post__item Post__html" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; grid-column: 3 / 5; max-width: none; order: 0; text-align: left; width: 728px;"><div class="Html" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div class="jsx-3982579097 Post__item Post__html" style="box-sizing: inherit; grid-column: 3 / 5; max-width: none; order: 0; text-align: left; width: 728px;"><div class="Html" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.475; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">To use frozen raw corn, place the whole bag of corn in the fridge overnight, or run the bag of corn under running water if you’re short on time.

Halfway through cooking the onions, add apple cider vinegar and stir to combine. The onions will slowly soften and darken into a caramel color. Keep the heat low –– if the onions are burning, the skillet is too hot.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">While the onions are cooking, prepare the patties. Mix the ground beef, one tablespoon of thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to combine, and then form the patties into long, thin ovals, similar to the shape of the bread.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">Once the onions are softened and jammy, remove them from the skillet and reserve. Turn the heat up to medium. When the skillet is hot, add the beef patties. Allow each patty space –– you may need to work in batches.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">Firmly press down on each patty, flattening the burgers as they cook. Cook for three to four minutes, and then flip them and cook for another three to four minutes on the other side, pressing down firmly again to flatten. Once the burgers are cooked to your preferred doneness (8 minutes should be medium), remove them from the skillet.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">Melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and stir in one tablespoon of thyme. Brush the melted butter on one side of each slice of bread.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">To assemble the sandwich, take two slices of buttered sourdough bread and stack them, buttered sides together. On the bare side of the sourdough bread, place a cooked hamburger patty. Then layer the patty with two slices of Swiss cheese and the caramelized onions.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich butter-side down. Then stack the second slice on top of the onions. Cook for about two to three minutes, until the bread is deeply golden brown and the cheese is melting. Flip the sandwich and cook for another two to three minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px;">Remove the sandwich from the skillet and repeat this process with the remaining sandwiches. Cut them in half and serve.</li></ol></div></div><p></p>Georgiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14999890454691986968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456120515502881405.post-8107248552060096452022-11-07T21:09:00.003-07:002022-11-07T21:13:32.831-07:00Making your own Pumpkin Puree...Easy<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Let the contents of your kitchen dictate what you'll cook next.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Even if you're unable to create a full meal out of existing ingredients, browsing your kitchen allows you to establish a jumping-off point for the next dish. This way, you can fill in the blanks at the grocery store and only buy what you need to complete a meal, effectively shortening your shopping list. Need a center piece, use natural stuff you can find outside. Lucky me I have paper plates from a year ago. Looks like I am ahead of the game. I love Thanksgiving...Those pumpkins sitting on the porch, pumpkin pies coming up!!!</div></div></div>Georgiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14999890454691986968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456120515502881405.post-77955022733139131152022-10-21T07:27:00.006-06:002022-10-21T07:27:58.144-06:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DgeoGW1_XOsk3QiM1gaT9LqCFfxUQ0g_C7CTmhrwAIWAOagr8hezO-Yl1u9uLn5DT1RA0yNPRRYHq3uLrdcCrUaof8WhbhMTJzDVgXkKrR0ZCheRTlCwdmOnqtzGgXZhAabAw1I-gu-GFU4iq7_j_UaIK4x35RqTm1Vfv7AsHyOHIzR-SzAd0S4E_w/s2240/Simple%20Self-Care%20Blog%20Post%20Banner%20(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2240" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DgeoGW1_XOsk3QiM1gaT9LqCFfxUQ0g_C7CTmhrwAIWAOagr8hezO-Yl1u9uLn5DT1RA0yNPRRYHq3uLrdcCrUaof8WhbhMTJzDVgXkKrR0ZCheRTlCwdmOnqtzGgXZhAabAw1I-gu-GFU4iq7_j_UaIK4x35RqTm1Vfv7AsHyOHIzR-SzAd0S4E_w/w640-h360/Simple%20Self-Care%20Blog%20Post%20Banner%20(1).png" width="640" /></a></div><p>We are at the very end of our garden this year.

During WWI and WWII, victory gardens were promoted by the U.S. government to save fuel and other transportation costs so more supplies were available to put toward the war effort and to give to the troops. Patriotic citizens were encouraged to live on locally-produced food, so homeowners planted fruits and vegetables in their ‘victory gardens’ to feed their families and to share with neighbors. Victory gardens became an important nostalgic reminder of the way Americans can pull together and work toward a common goal in times of hardship and need. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Today, many homeowners feel there is another war to be won – against food problems caused in great part by the pandemic – high-cost groceries, supply chain interruptions and the lower quality of processed foods. They’re reviving the victory garden concept with some modern twists. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">More earth-friendly<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span>Fresh produce can travel as far as 1500 miles or more from harvest to your local grocery store. According to <a href="http://www.revivevictorygarden.org/how-can-we-reduce-our-food-miles/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a;">Revivevictorygarden.org</a>, these “food miles,” compiled by distance and energy, have a heavy impact on our environment. Carbon footprint-conscious people are concerned with the emissions and other costs required to transport food at great distances. The solutions are sourcing food from a local producer, eating a more seasonal diet, joining local gardening efforts, and starting your own garden. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Better tasting, fresher produce<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span>Other gardeners like the fresh taste of garden-grown produce. One of the original celebrity chefs of the Food Network, Chef Curtis Aikens insists on using fresh vegetables in every recipe. <a href="https://foodhero.com/blogs/celebrity-chef-food-waste-hacks" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a;">FoodHero.com</a> notes famous chefs and their hacks for avoiding food waste, such as Chef David Chang’s tip to put cut scallion roots in fresh water and setting them on a window sill where they’ll regrow. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Going green (wallets)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span>Some who have never gardened before are using their green thumbs to put greener in their wallets. <a href="https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/save-money/can-gardening-save-money/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a;">ThePennyHoarder.com</a> recommends certain foods as cheaper to grow than to buy at the grocery store. For example, a bag of prewashed lettuce may cost around five dollars and yields two salads, while a packet of seeds is around three dollars and will yield lettuce for up to five months. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">How to start your own victory garden<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span>A victory garden can be whatever you want it to be, but many urban gardeners don’t have the luxury of having acres to plant. But you can start small with an herb garden on your windowsill. It’s a cheap and easy alternative and it gives a pleasant aroma to your apartment or condo. The savings on herbs is substantial. A packet of basil is three dollars or more, while you can buy a full pack of starter herb plants that yields 50 times as many sprigs. Just make sure that you can provide a sill with southern or eastern exposure so that your plants get at least 4 hours a day of sunlight and that your chosen location is free from any drafts. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Hydroponics is another way to try indoor gardening, but beware that lighting set-ups, electricity, and chemical nutrients can be expensive. However, the taste of water-grown lettuce is well worth the cost. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">For amateur gardeners it’s easier and more rewarding to go with produce that always produces a crop and usually only takes a couple of months from sowing to harvest; these include herbs, bush beans, lettuce, spinach and tomatoes. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Check with your local nursery for seeds and bulbs, or order them online at places like <a href="https://www.gurneys.com/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a;">Gurneys.com</a>. Most bags of seed come with care, best growing conditions, and harvesting instructions.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">If you don’t have any land of your home, but your green thumb’s itching, you can garden in a co-op with friends. Most major cities have at least one co-op where you can rent a gardening space that’s already tilled and ready for you to begin. To find more information, visit <a href="https://www.communitygarden.org/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a;">Communitygarden.org</a>. You’ll find more experienced gardeners there to help you if you have any questions. You might want to check with your local co-op to see what the rates are in your area so that you can get started. </p><span id="docs-internal-guid-d20b2105-7fff-14f0-6d36-bd890c71a749"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Kind Regards,</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Georgie Elliott</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p></span><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: proxima-regular; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d8f824f0-7fff-613d-5c96-debd31f4be3f"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Dancing Script", cursive; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 200px; overflow: hidden; width: 601px;"><img height="181" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/F5EHd8GTjE-pp2F7hu-qgUVXFVZfi_G9NDXSPJUI5i9PuOTfsmHHDhwbALGYSwxRLMP6-8iT0aWRfoBfsYeRNLtcfIhKMKUbNRgaj_TMuJtEd5qZAEknw_7VgD3DNCMPn2DIXrKo4pEsHuUr7A=w544-h181" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="544" /></span></span></span></p></div>Georgiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14999890454691986968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456120515502881405.post-40971929326085700812021-09-19T23:52:00.048-06:002022-11-07T21:59:35.997-07:00What Pumpkins are best for eating?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUYgPTzsIzwdEinAutUVGL4i9RRKSAhnNQdoXD-CYD1jwDbzaQTXYzojsY1rA9Qt1PEdZJWodpt4il5z5NGHhkF9ZaAYh_rv5-at_-YazH-_ZYBibEFiGKTBSYYeBFQRezdEG0slqYJQ4/s2000/Happy+Holidays+Family+Greeting+Scrapbook+Photo+Collage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUYgPTzsIzwdEinAutUVGL4i9RRKSAhnNQdoXD-CYD1jwDbzaQTXYzojsY1rA9Qt1PEdZJWodpt4il5z5NGHhkF9ZaAYh_rv5-at_-YazH-_ZYBibEFiGKTBSYYeBFQRezdEG0slqYJQ4/w640-h512/Happy+Holidays+Family+Greeting+Scrapbook+Photo+Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">I am often asked which pumpkins are best for cooking...</span></b></h2></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>As you can see over the years we have grown quite a few.

Apricot kernels naturally contain amygdalin, which can release cyanide after being eaten.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVrLdVEi04DmgrRsRDYw7y_GUPC520-eD5uWB7V03_Fjx_3o51xAtq3ebPw-H1im5FmjQq-to036VhTCns2QfiWGYqENkbZP0hmfGkzlVi0ii8ATiuNbj5EqeEPgV_FycmsJRcgg6zKtOP/s2048/IMG_4413+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVrLdVEi04DmgrRsRDYw7y_GUPC520-eD5uWB7V03_Fjx_3o51xAtq3ebPw-H1im5FmjQq-to036VhTCns2QfiWGYqENkbZP0hmfGkzlVi0ii8ATiuNbj5EqeEPgV_FycmsJRcgg6zKtOP/w480-h640/IMG_4413+%25281%2529.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I usually make apricot puree. Basically I puree the apricots and bottle them much like applesauce. Then when I want to make some jam I pull out a bottle of apricot puree and that's were I start. By pureeing most of my fruits I can use it for desserts like sorbet, granita, or mix it in yogurt, use it to make fruit leather. There are many options. My storage of apricot puree is totally used up. With the few apricots I was given I took advantage of it and made one of my favorite jams...and just a few bottles of puree for storage for when we eat all the jam...AND NEED MORE!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfrV3zPxRnVZ_pZ36Yl2h0Be1WOwT3UGU86kGx5wVsAUFAKTrpC2d7nc3o5SPw3_Q5vl4x5LkK5cfpfogI8rDEWct7NzKuWDG2_IRVvdK85n4v48p5tyTBNhUbt1ACadKll2DHteNwNeJ/s2048/IMG_4419.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfrV3zPxRnVZ_pZ36Yl2h0Be1WOwT3UGU86kGx5wVsAUFAKTrpC2d7nc3o5SPw3_Q5vl4x5LkK5cfpfogI8rDEWct7NzKuWDG2_IRVvdK85n4v48p5tyTBNhUbt1ACadKll2DHteNwNeJ/w480-h640/IMG_4419.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I made 2 variations: regular apricot jam and apricot jalapeno jam (for the heat lovers in my family)</div></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I start with washing the apricots, and then I puree them in a food processor.

Someone asked on a garden post how long garlic last. It pretty much depends on how you use it, and how you store it. Generally around our home about 1 year. I have had some of mine dry out before the next garden season and when they do I make my own garlic power, and garlic salt. <p></p><p>I recently learned you can actually freeze your garlic. I have not tried that method but if I felt like I was not using my garlic before it went bad freezing it is a good option. </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy3YKgbzFI7PIZzDRuRL5QYP3_UoRu7SCkAQ8-5FaOWPsrTyh9grJH2yAesLEQs38WcGwqtGKwzTJhM_74kIQ7wQpe7yshNW1KvENLrJe-Wp6CaEbNYkp7pmRzYYd7VW4bf0gxKsR0-OpT/s2048/IMG_4137.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy3YKgbzFI7PIZzDRuRL5QYP3_UoRu7SCkAQ8-5FaOWPsrTyh9grJH2yAesLEQs38WcGwqtGKwzTJhM_74kIQ7wQpe7yshNW1KvENLrJe-Wp6CaEbNYkp7pmRzYYd7VW4bf0gxKsR0-OpT/w480-h640/IMG_4137.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I am enjoying the look in my kitchen.
