The amount of effort to make 5 bulbs of garlic is the same as cooking 1 bulb, so cook as many as you’d like. If you don’t have time to peel the garlic now, it keeps well in the fridge and will be even easier to peel once it’s cold. Continue reading

Just returned from my honeymoon in Nicaragua! A non-traditional honeymoon destination, I went on this trip seeking peace and relaxation.
Landing in Managua reminded me of landing anywhere in Mexico, with lots of green trees and patches of farmland.

I hoped I could remember enough Spanish to get by. Continue reading
