Sounds good, sure wish I could be there. Looks like the weather is going to be good too. Good Luck & have some fun... Peace, poor_old_dad
I love your idea for a garlic fest! Sounds cool.Several cloves a day can reduce blood pressure, build the immune system, prevent infections and even ward off cancer. I roast garic in the oven right in the skin. Then, I just squeeze it out and mix it with a little butter and olive oil. Great spread for corn bread or rye toast. Garlic is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.
