You had better steer clear…..of the garlic fries.

Oh! I Googled ‘Onion Festival’! I could be tempted to go to any and all of them! Pity this blasted quarantine has shut down the world! I would have a feast! Guess I will just have to look up a bunch or recipes to cook at home!

Social distancing ? I go for anti-social garlic bread

One baguette, thick sliced ( don’t cut all the way through )slab of butter, softenedfive gloves of garlic, pressed

combine the butter and garlicsmother both sides of the slices wrap in aluminum foil and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes

ENJOY

ENJOY your social space

Sometimes a bowl of chili will have the same effect…eventually.

Onions are part of my cooking trinity that I incorporate into much of my dishes – along with the other two parts – peppers, and garlic! Tomatoes are the other cooking staple I frequently use.

And after he ate red beans, cabbage or broccoli!

A gastronomic delight.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. “An onion a day keeps everybody away”.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Why stop there? An onion a day keeps everyone away!

You eat enough onions or garlic, and the dog comes up and asks “ What the hell have you been rolling in?”

Many years ago, one of the older members of our church started eating lots of garlic to ward off diseases. It sure warded off the other members of the congregation!
