Oh Rapture, Oh Garlic!

Garlic.  What a most beautiful vegetable to grace the kitchen.  Embrace it, crush it, squeeze it until its juices drip out.  This flavorful and fragrant bulbous head does wonders to the temple that is your body.  Just a few raw cloves will coat your mouth with a heady aroma that will make people and vampires alike, gasp in wonder.

This velvety and vibrant orange tube will coax those cream colored nuggets to burst forth in delight.  It can be found in the vast world of the Amazon.

To prepare the garlic cloves for insertion, cut the woody ends off.  Shhh, it’s ok.  It’s just the tip.  Ease a few cloves into the tube and gently roll the tube.  Once, twice, roll until you can no longer roll.  Listen to the gentle crinkling of the allium shedding its delicate paper clothing.

With much anticipation, pour the cloves out of the tube, and see them in all of their splendid, naked glory.  The now spent and soft tube of silicone can now clean up and rest in the washer of dishes.
