Ramping Up for National Garlic Day: The Bloggers & The Scoop #4theLoveofGarlic #Sponsor

I love garlic. No two ways about it. If a recipe calls for one clove of garlic, I scoff and add in - a bare minimum of - two more cloves for good measure!

The Italians have a saying: chi usa l'aglio non fa mai sbaglio. The gist of it is this: using garlic is never wrong. Agreed. While I am not Italian, I learned to cook in Italy, so my cooking sensibilities hail from there.

So, when Dreamfarm offered their new Garject to a group of bloggers to review*, I decided to make it a party. I rallied six bloggers. And for six days, leading up to National Garlic Day which is Wednesday, April 19th, we'll be sharing garlic creations, reviewing the Garject, and hosting a giveaway. Six of our lucky readers will win their own Garject.

Melissa's Produce is also sponsoring #4theLoveofGarlic and shipped all the bloggers a huge box of garlic, including elephant garlic and black garlic, to use in their recipes.

Connecticut Lobster Rolls, Canned Lobster Bisque, and a 2019 Henry Fessy 'Maître Bonhome' Viré-Clessé #Winophiles

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
