Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Jam: looks like you're gonna need cooking lessons too!! Garlic is best eaten in moderation such as a chopped clove sauteed or steamed in other dishes for flavor. Use it with your kale for example to give it some zip. Or in any tomato sauce type recipes. (Although a couple of cloves zapped for 30 sec in the microwave aborts a cold, I've found)' As for eating tofu everyday, use variety and vary your proteins. Use FF yogurt or skim milk in your smoothies sometimes. Limit your intake of soy just in case there's something to that soy/dementia Hawaiisn (one study only - and not confirmed) study mentioned by Walford. Moderation and Variety (although it sounds like you're not the moderate type :-)) on 9/20/2002 1:27 PM, ran7972002 at Jammer7@... wrote: > Ok, I've just bought these big clumps of garlic.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 You are so funny! Use the garlic for veggies to add flavor or try roasting the cloves for a wonderful treat. Put 8 or 10 cloves in tin foil along with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 375 for oh...maybe 30 minutes or until soft and just starting to brown. This is roasted garlic and it's flavor is softened a little compared to raw garlic and it can be spread on healthy cracker or bread and eaten as is. This is going to be so much fun for you. PS clean hands after handling garlic by using soap and rubbing on stainless steel sink or other metal material...sounds crazy but gets rid of the smell. Regarding breath, make sure everyone you will be near also eats the wonderful garlic and or use "Breath Assures" or like product. Have fun!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Steamed garlic and baked garlic causes more gas than raw garlic. Trust me on this. I crush the cloves, add some very nice olive oil, and dip [veggies] into it. You can add a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary. Pretty, healthy, delicious.
