Ron is making me lunch
It is a Thursday afternoon, Ron and I are in the kitchen. The freezer is empty, and we are both hungry. So what can we prepare, I wonder, from 2 potatoes, 2 tomatoes and 2 onions.... I went to do the house work, while i heard noises comming from the kitchen, and I smelled a nice smell of garlic and onion. Ron called me when it was ready. He most certainly learnt something in the army, when he was a shef.

Oh no!!! did you eat onion and garlic pancake?!?
nope!
pancake for lunch? even i am not that crazy!
it is an apetizer from dixi, the resteraunt.
looks like everyone is loosening up with the garlic, now that the
garlic-o-phobe is moving to michigan.
Sandy - i just want to tell you that i have you in my thoughts. don't try to impress keren with garlic-low dishes. don't be frustrated when anything you cook for her just doesn't taste right. you have to get used to the flavor. it takes a few years. really-its nearly impossible to make a dish without garlic, and still make it taste good, (unless your name is dalia sharon). i should know. omer isn't as allergic to garlic as keren, he can even handle a powder and chunky dried garlic, but it still forced my mom to learn how to cook without garlic (small confession - she adds garlic anyays. she just uses powder instead of fresh garlic). eventually when i learned how to cook (genetics was all for it, but two left hands turned the odds completely against) i had to let go of any garlic planed in any dish. and my lesson is that garlic-o-phobia is contagious, because about two years after i stopped eating garlic i went out to a restrant and ordered shrimps fried in garlic butter. When omer came home he found me in bed twisting and turning in agony (must have lost all those great garlic'o'enzymes) and he refused to sleep with me, since he said it would be like sleeping with "BISLI GRILL", which is similar to sleeping with garlic freetos.
so my suggestion is to learn from my mistake, and keep eating garlic. don't cave in!! don't loose your love for garlic!!
besides, garlic is good for you, both for health reasons, and against the evil eye....ooohhhh
garlic is good. gooooooooooood!
i love garlic, the only problem i have with it is its after effects...
i am actually trying to work on it though. we figured out that if i eat <= 6 boneless hot wings at Buffalo Wild Wings, ai am not totally miserable the next day. so there. i am trying to build up those enzimes or whatever.
(eating 7 wings is still one too many)(you can ask ben what happens if i do something like that...)
Don't worry, Dikla. I just substitute other spices when Keren is dining with us. Sometime you must ask Ben about the time we celebrated my birthday at one of my favorite restaurants and Ben and I ate a whole huge serving of beer-steamed mussels that were loaded with whole garlic cloves. All the way home in the car, Ben was burping out clouds of garlic and Erin and Kevin were demanding that we put the windows down, even though it was mid-winter.
And I didn't even know that it was good against the evil eye.;) One more reason to follow your advice and keep eating garlic.
