Foodie Friday is hosted @ Designs by Gollum as usual. You will really enjoy this theme. It will make your mouth water and your tummies rumble. Make sure you visit the other sites too.
When it comes to cooking the only thing I use as much as olive oil is garlic. Even my sons add garlic to almost everything they cook. We roast it, we chop it, we smash it, we grate it. When I buy garlic in the summer I buy several different types. Russian Red, Racy (my favorite, hot, hot, hot) Rocambole, Purple Stripe. It is not cheap. I buy mine at the Back Porch antique shop that I wrote about for Three or More Tuesday this week. Here is some of their garlic drying under cover.

A good garlic press comes in handy but I usually just use my sharp Santoku knife.
