  • What I Learned Today...

    I'm in a thread-starting rampage, I think...

    ANYWAY....

    So I learned something today, and of course, I'm going to share with one and all in USCHO land.

    Well, I'm not much of a cook. However, as of late, I've started to get into it a little more. So there's this recipe that I'm going to try tomorrow. It calls for 6 cloves of garlic as one of the ingredients. I go to the store and get all the ingredients I need for this recipe, including the garlic.

    Today, my roommate needed 2 cloves of garlic for her recipe. She asks if she can use my garlic... And I think, "Well ****... if I give her 2, I will only have 4 left..... That's not enough for my recipe, but it seems like there is more than enough there..."

    Being the nice person I am, I cannot tell her no! "Sure........." She can tell that I look somewhat hesitant. She's like, "Dude... do you know what a CLOVE of garlic is?" Apparently I did not. Well now I do now. I thought BULBS were cloves. But they are not. However, they do contain about 10 cloves each. Let's just say that I have PLENTY of garlic and giving her 2 cloves is not really a big deal. But OMG... if not for her, I probably would've put like six BULBS of garlic in my recipe....! Eeek!

    ============================================

    So let's use this thread to share silly things that we learn or have learned at a later point in life than we probably should have. Then we can go back and forth and make fun of one another. This thread will be a failure, but that's okay. Many of the things I do are failures.

    But in my defense... come on... I never really have cooked! So how the hell was I supposed to know?!

    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Me neither! At the very worse, I'm a Trooper. But I have made a new title for myself... Troopesotan. And that is not a Fooper. Therefore, I am not a Fooper... nor have I ever been. And doing things that Foopers do also does not make me a Fooper.

              Actually, you are a Fooper in recovery. MN is curing you, one day at a time.

                  I learned that there are actually people who have graduated college that do not know what a clove of garlic is.

                        I think that was the implication.

                              I thought I ... made this clear, but apparently I did not...?

                              I AM NOT A COOK. In college, I made frozen **** and macaroni and cheese. I never assembled ingredients together and followed a fancy recipe. This is a new venture for me! I'm learning a lot... like... (1) what a clove of garlic REALLY is and (2) cooking isn't really THAT hard! I've yet to fail at making something yummy, which is ...kind of amazing, given my experience.

                              Anyway, I will answer your question one more time: My vast INEXPERIENCE in the area of cooking led to my prolonged ignorance of what a "clove" of garlic is.

                              Does that clear it up? I can repeat it again if you need me to.
