So we bought one of those 5 kg boxes of fresh garlic at Costco, thinking we could freeze whatever we didn’t immediately use. It was incredibly convenient to not have to peel garlic for a couple weeks. But now I’ve got approximately 4.997 kg of peeled garlic cloves in the freezer, where I’m afraid they’re doomed to a cold and lonely future like their neighbors, the Brussels sprouts. Seriously, we’re looking at 300 meals’ worth of garlic here.

We’ve used a couple of the frozen cloves lately, in place of fresh. It’s not exactly the same. In fact, it’s not exactly good. Frozen garlic doesn’t mince worth a damn, and when it’s sauteed it gives off an aroma that makes you think pungent really meant skunky all this time.

I wonder if this is one of those things you’re just not supposed to do. Is this something everybody knows but me, like the fact that you have to clean the filter in your dishwasher more than once every four years?

I guess it’s just as well. I was running out of Brussels sprouts anyway.
