Oh, no, wait - I just noticed I've been saying looser rather than loser.
Hey: D'oh!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

We use something like this to chop garlic if we don't feel like doing it by hand. It's a lot more convenient than a full-size food processor, with the two of us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You probably have more of a freelance type job with them? No?
Works for me--I know not of the definitions. But I do earn an irregular amount from them each week.
The winds here are annoying. They knocked out power at the only store I know of nearby that sells Alpen, so I had to try a different store and three different types of cereal, none of which taste remotely right. Still howling out there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love my garlic press - I don't even have to peel the garlic! I think it's a Zyliss.
Mincing is one of those things that I am terrible at. It's either whole cloves, large slices, or the press for my garlic.

I think it's a Zyliss.
I think Zyliss is the ATK recommended press.

I use this chopper because I have terrible knife skills, and I can never get the garlic peices small enough.

I really enjoy chopping garlic (and veggies in general), and one of the reasons I bought us new kitchen knives for Christmas was to have much shrper knives and improve my technique.

I buy my garlic in a jar, minced. It might cost me a little more, but saves me from stinky hands.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I use the mini-chop attachment on my stick blender to chop garlic since garlic presses are a PITA to clean sans dishwasher.

What is even happening?
I've heard the garlic press is evil, and I generally don't use it, but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong...I understand it wrings the juice out of the garlic bits.
It does wring out the juice. I don't know if you've used one, but if so, you can see the juice streaming out when you crush it. I only use my press for some recipes. For example, I put garlic in my beef stew (but I don't brown it first, it just goes in the broth), so I use the press right over the soup pot, because the juices go in, too. I also use it for the garlic I put in the cheese filling mixture for my lasagna.
I have a hard time cooking fresh garlic, properly. I love it, but I seem to scorch it, no matter what I do. It's oddly sticky, somehow. I've gone back to garlic powder for making red sauces. I mostly use fresh for things I've mentioned like the above, or for alio e olio.
Darn. Now I want something really garlicky.
