Garlic may work for some, but the only meal Beth doesn't have with garlic is breakfast, and she says that's because I haven't made her any garlic whole wheat bread yet. She still gets bitten by the pesky creatures about 100 times more than I do  You should see this girl and garlic cloves; 3 per serving in every salad.
As a matter of fact, we have gone through 15 heads of garlic since she got here. Naw, I'm not kidding! It's a good thing that we both love the stuff, or one or the other would be running for the hills. |
Man, do you exaggerate...there's only TWO cloves in the salad, and we've only gone through a half dozen heads...lol.
But yes, garlic is as much a staple in the cooking here as onions and tomatoes are!! And it sure isn't doing me any good as an insect repellant. My legs look like I have some weird and dangerous disease from all the bites I took until I learned to spray my legs with repellant BEFORE I put my jeans on...the little buggers were getting me above the sock line!! Grrrrrr!!

| Wow, Beth! That Roger must be SOME MAN *wink-wink* for you to put up with that....that just may be worse than mice! You guys wouldn't happen to be exxagerating, would you?
Of course, when a guy has 'what it takes', us women will deal with anything, won't we?
Heck...now that I know Al like I do,      , the mice would just be an excuse to get him to hold me longer while I get over cowering from my fear....not that I'd NEED an excuse, I don't think....
