08 Sep Summer Fest: Garlic
We do love the stinking rose. In fact, we make sure we eat it while in a group, because then we can all revel in the garlic breath together without worrying about the fumes. For this week’s Summer Fest, we are featuring the aromatic goodness of this little bulb, including its history, so have at it. Breath mints optional.

HOW YOU CAN JOIN IN SUMMER (AND FALL) FEST:
Each Wednesday for the rest of the summer and fall, a group of blogging friends including those above will swap our recipes and tips about the following harvest-fresh ingredients. Here’s the schedule:
9/15 White Potatoes
9/22 Spinach
9/29 Apples
10/6 Fall Salads
We each post something and then link to one another, so that you can travel around the combined effort, gathering the goodies. Sharing makes the experience even better, so if you have a recipe or tip that fits any of our weekly themes, you can do either of the following:
- Leave a comment on participating blogs with a link to your recipe/tip
- Publish a post of your own, and grab the juicy Summer/Fall Fest 2010 badge (illustrated by Matt Armendariz of Mattbites)
We hope to see you in the kitchen!
