So, since becoming a slightly more regular blogger, I've decided to create a secondary blog to catalog my foodie experiments. I'm hoping this will help both my personal blog and my new food blog have more coherent themes. I'm really looking forward to being more purposeful in trying out/modifying new recipes, and recording the results.
I had hoped to make my first post about this fantastic homemade garlic lover's pizza that I slaved over Saturday night, but sadly, it turned out pretty tasteless. I had counted on garlic providing the main flavor to the crust and vegetables, but I had not counted on my generic jar of garlic being essentially flavor-less. This was a real tragedy, since both my fiance and I LOVE garlic AND pizza. So, my first short post will be a cooking moral; if something usually comes in small packages, and the generic offers a huge package for a small price, don't buy it. It's liable to have more food coloring than flavor.
You should totally buy some real garlic! WAY more flavorful than the jarred stuff (not to mention cheaper), and it's really not that hard to deal with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEJbfJlkfCs Nice new blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tip! and for reading :) My Chinese roommate often uses real garlic, I'll have to ask her to show me how.
