If you don't smash the garlic with a knife, how do you peel it? The rolling-between-your-hands technique is painful, and those garlic-peely devices always get lost in my house.
Get this! I cut off the bottom and peel by hand, baybee! Sometimes it's tougher than others, as the peel is very clingy, but most times I can get the outer shell off pretty quickly.
PINK!
OMG, how much do I love little Ethan among his blue things, with his serious face!
edit: Seriously, though, some relative needs to invest in something green or yellow for those kids.
Santoku knives are pretty damn cool.
Beth, my best knife is an IKEA knife, but it may just be that the rest need to be sharpened.
I want a good knife! (and to know how to use it...)
A good knife is a thing of beauty.
Get this! I cut off the bottom and peel by hand, baybee!
Yeah, that's more time and effort than I'm willing to spend peeling garlic. Smash, yank, done.
Ethan with the horns! Little superman rocker, so cute.
My IKEA knife need sharpening , but it is the first non serrated knife I've ever had that will slice a tomato with out crushing it. -- and the concept of even sized slices - it much less of an ideal, and closer to a reality.
I'm very attached to my talent for thin-slicing garlic. I'm trying to achieve a thinner-than-paper state of Nirvana. Smashing the garlic before hand disrupts that quest.
