And don't tell me to just use my noodle.
I like garlic. I really like Old Dutch Onion & Garlic chips.Garlic is good for your health, surely, but how much can anyone consume per day, even if they love the stuff or fear that count Dracula is out to get them?
Also, some people really hate the thing, like other people eat meat but hate liver.
Did you have long nails at the time? Garlic can really dig in under your nails.Never mind breath. My hands reeked of garlic, even after multiple washings.
Just so that people know, today is world pasta day.
The one clove of garlic split between pasta for three or four people doesn't change people's breath, in my experience.
Has this become a serial thread?
If so, obligatory rant at lousy subtitle.
Riced cauliflower is good. For pasta consistency, you could try zucchini.Does anybody ever use carb substitutes for their noodles for any pasta dish? I don't mind cutting down on carbs (and usually try to), but what would be a good substitute?
The last similar sort of dish I ate was a stirfry that used cauliflower as a substitute for rice. At first I thought "There's no way that's going to work", but it was actually pretty damn good! The texture was close enough and the flavours from the rest of the dish took over as well, so it basically almost tasted like a regular stirfy.
I think I tried a pasta recipe once that used thinly sliced squash or something like that? It didn't really work very well and I never tried it again. Are there any other substitutes that might work though, for pasta that is?
I also dont' mind consuming more vegetables, so veggies replacing carbs is always a win in my books
Nope. I haven't had long nails since I was 13, and realized that long nails were getting in the way of both playing the organ and typing (people who have never used manual or electric typewriters have no idea how painful it is to get your fingertips caught in the keys when trying to untangle a jam, and it hurts even more with long fingernails).Did you have long nails at the time?

Brassica est quae omnibus holeribus antistat. Eam esto vel coctam vel crudam. Crudam si edes, in acetum intinguito. [...] Si voles in convivio multum bibere cenareque libenter, ante cenam esto crudam quantum voles ex aceto, et item, ubi cenaveris, comesto aliqua V folia; reddet te quasi nihil ederis, bibesque quantum voles.
Even if it's ‘short’ nails i.e. protruding a couple of millimetres, that usually is enough.Nope.

I was just handling a lot of bags a day, over a period of several hours. It was slow, finicky work - at least for me, as I wasn't used to handling anything like garlic. There are a LOT of cloves per bag, and after days of this, I just couldn't get the garlic smell off my hands.
If I were to hold out my hands to you, palm out, you could not tell I had any fingernails at all. I keep them as short as possible, and trim often. People have looked at me as though this is something weird and made comments about nail polish... but since I'm allergic to it (the fumes make me physically ill), it's not something that will ever persuade me.Even if it's ‘short’ nails i.e. protruding a couple of millimetres, that usually is enough.
