That's cool. Stripper or peeler, called either. Other than the press, I honesty can't think of a gadget or tool that I really have no use for. If I had a stripper, I'd probably use it sometimes. Garlic stripper that is. :)

OK, now you're making me feel bad about not having a mortar and pestle. :ermm:

:cray:

Seriously, is there some qualitative difference in having garlic that comes out in itty-bitty strands through a press versus however it comes out from a M&P?

I like having the forty-leven-billion tiny pieces of garlic. What am I missing here? genuine question

I don't mean to make you feel bad. Its just a personal preference thing. Seriously, I'm glad you like yours. Whatever works for you.

That sounds good. It's funny how I say there's not much difference in it and sweet basil, but 9 times out of 10, I use the sweet. The one time I do, it's always just for looks.

I hear ya. "They" say peppers are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. That ain't been my experience this year.

Four more beans have sprouted, though one was nibbled to oblivion. That's the second one to suffer this fate, and I've no clue as to what's responsible. The more mature plants are unmolested.

Tonight, I'm going to try a baked pork chop recipe by request. It calls for egg wash, creole seasonings & bread crumbs. The chops are thick "pork porterhouses..." Am I sinning? Is this forgivable?

Cut worms? Deer? Rabbit? All three LOVE bean sprouts.

Cut worms would cut the stalk. The stalks are denuded, the very tops nibbled off.

Deer have not been around (though my fencing means nothing to the white tails) of late.

Rabbit... Haven't seen rabbit spoor since February. The opening to a nearby warren has become unkempt - signs that it's abandoned.

The question would be, why deer or rabbit would nibble the youngest sprouts and leave be the still succulent, slightly larger plants?

Older folks, and I mean older than Behr and Tin:), have told me they love the sprouts for there tenderness. In my dad's large garden, one of the biggest challenges is getting the bean sprouts past 8 inches. The way my family have deterred the deer from their preferred snacks is to dust them with powdered lime.

Sinning? Close. :) I'd hate to use such nice ones for breading, but hey, they should be good. I'm sure you already know, but flouring them before the egg wash will make everything stick to the meat better. Nothing worse than a mess of clumped breading mixture everywhere but where its supposed to be.

Got me on the beans. Deer or rabbit sounds possible, I know it ain't gators.

Fargin wind is my biggest pain in the ass right now. Drying everything out and knocking them over. I was pissed earlier.

When I turn 30, you can start making "old people" jokes about me.

Hey Ill. You will be pleased to know I "doctored" up some Kraft Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce tonight. Might just be some of the best I've ever had.

For some reason I haven't been able to find Bullseye lately. Will be very disappointed if it has been discontinued.

Mustard seed, fresh garlic, crushed red pepper, whole pink peppercorn, red wine vinegar, tad bit of rosemary and cooked it for about 30 minutes.
