All Glory to the Garlic Miasma

[xraytheenforcer]

It was Garlic-a-Go-Go last night chez X.

I made tomato confit (that's just a fancy way of saying I took fresh tomato slices and crushed cloves of garlic, shook them around in a pan with some sea salt and olive oil, and then baked them at 250F for 1.5 hours. The tomatoes concentrate really well, and the garlic caramelizes and becomes really soft.) Then I made orecchiette and dressed it with an olive oil, garlic, caper, crushed red pepper, anchovy sauce.

Random vampires -- and my coworkers -- are warned to keep at least 15 feet away. Heh.

Now THAT is what Buffy should have done from the start. Silly girl with her stakes. *shakes head*

But then we could never have seen hat hat Spike/Buffy or Angel/Buffy loving.

I dunno, I think the garlic-based chaos might be worth a few missed sex scenes. Heh.

[eefster.livejournal.com]

Hm. True. Besides, I'm sure the sex scenes would have been there anyway, just in different pairings. Buffy/Xander? Hmmmm. (:gag:)

Yum - I love garlic - I've just bought some really garlicky garlic from Patagonia in the hope that it will restart my garlic taste buds - I just don't seem to be able to taste the usual stuff anymore ;)

Ha. :) Mmmmm...garlic.

You had me drooling right up to the point where you mentioned anchovy sauce, at which point my tastebuds shut right the hell down. How could you?!?!? Now that you have finally done a general public comment that I can actually reply to, do you mind if I do this friending thing, once I figure out how?

Go right ahead, you foul anchovy-hating jackanapes.

I don't eat garlic during the week as I have to lean over people to look down their microscope in classes (how close I have to lean depends on how fit they are, of course) and I'm considerate that way. Nobody else is, alas. Especially the students. :(
