Art is food is art

Today was The Time of the Prepping of the Ginger and Garlic.

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.
