    That is ALL you need on a steak. It's the perfect combination..all I ever use to season steak.
    See... that's where you're wrong... garlic, black pepper and some chili powder :):):) PERFECT!!!!!! Oh my mouth's watering just thinking about it :o sometimes I add some soy sauce and then you also have a lovely kinda gravy to go over your potatoes and veg :) speaking of the potatoes, I love boiling baby potatoes, then cutting them up, adding loadsa butter, parsley and........... garlic :)

    Have you ever tried to mince them? Those bastards' skin got underneath my thumbnail and made it hurt for a week. That was the end of me hand mincing my own garlic (although i heard that if you soak them in water it makes it easier to peel). I'll stick to store bought, ground/minced lol. Good stuff though. I use it in a ton of stuff i make.

    Ask a chef and they will tell you that the store bought garlic is soaked in a solution to preserve the cloves. That oil/ solution takes away all the flavor that the garlic provides. Always buy whole peeled garlic and chop in a food processor or even a blender will work. small amounts should be done by hand. Always remember to maximize garlic flavor never saute in a cold pan, Saute means " to jump " as in to jump out of the pan because its too hot. Always start Saute with butter, oil, or lard. Just a tip from a chef.....

    I always worry about the stinky thing, but I've never smelled it on myself or my roommate.....so I guess we don't eat THAT much!

    Well, if it was snowy, I'd stay inside. Have a fire going, bundled under blankets, cuddling on the couch with a bottle of wine.

    I'd be out playing in it until my feet got wet. Then I'd be too cold.
