Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Garlic is so beautiful in its design that I can't just peel, I have to do pictures.
It's like handling a sculpture that also smells interesting.
Ginger, too, is an adventure in smell, and I wonder who first found out about it. It looks like strange little figures when it's growing, and who thought to break a bit off and sniff? Then even, daringly, taste, and find they'd been transported onto a higher plane?
So garlic
And ginger
Are now in the freezer, ready for whatever might seem to be a good idea. The stainless steel spoon is to remove the smell of garlic from your hands.
You know that old trick, under cool running water, rinse hands and spoon together and some chemistry happens, the smell of garlic is gone. Interestingly, the smell of ginger stays around a bit. But that's not much of a problem.
