(spoken in an old Jewish lady’s voice) “It aaaall stahts with gaahlic.”
~John Grasso

My beloved Mondo was one of the first people to try to teach me how to cook. I do a lot more cooking nowadays than I used to (mostly dinners) and when I start, EVERY time I start, the first thing I consider reaching for is fresh cloves of garlic. Even if I don’t use it, it’s the first thing I think of. And as I stare at the empty pan, what I hear in my head is John.

I use lots of garlic. Lots and lots. 😀
