Suggestion. Rinse and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, crush the garlic into a paste and mix in the salt and fresh black pepper. Spread over the chicken half an hour before frying... mmm!
@gallanted Hi, That's an awesome idea, Thanks.. I used to use a garlic alreaddy made paste, but the flavour wasn't that natural (too much aditives added).. I make tons of chicken steaks, I'll try the squashed garlic next time... I bough some more zuchinni spaguetti, and bought a garlic thingy to squach the garlic without having my hand with that smell...lol.. Thanks for your reply :)
@ana1976🐞 You're welcome :-) <br> I used to be a chef, the usual way of working garlic was to crush it, add a good pinch of sea salt and work the blade of your knife back and forth across the mixture. The salt acts like a grinder and breaks up the garlic as it dissolves into it... yummy paste.
@gallanted I had no idea.. I'm definitly going to try it.. i like pork with just salt and garlic (thin slices of pork, what we call "bifanas" here, and then grilled... what anoys me in garlic, onion, fish and meat is the after smell on our hans, I don't like to use gloves, and I usually put lemon and vinneger on my hands, but i can still feel the smel. Yesterday I could still feel a pinch of garlic in my hands, hate it... I have to try and get used to thin gloves :)
@gallanted I don't mind the smell, but I hate walking and instead of someone thinking "nice perfume", or "smells like someone who has just left the shower", people would think: where's that garlic smell coming, or "I feel like having a lunch filled with garlic"... lol... I love to cook, but my limit is smell like a meal... lol <br>
@ana1976🐞 That made me laugh, but I know what you mean. <br> I'm too old to worry about things like that Ana. Even though I gave up working in kitchens a long time ago I still wear a perfume which is a mixture of Aramis and good cooking ingredients. My friends don't mind 'cos they know they get well fed when they visit me.
@gallanted I think I'm traumatized... I used the public buses, and sometimes, before 7 am, there are people smelling like meat, garlic, fried things... (and sometimes even worse, like sweat)... It always made me mad, I wake up at 5 am to shower... I think because of that experience, I feel self aware when I feel some smell in my hands.. for instance, today I threw a bit of cheese in the garbage (i think it was spoilled), I've washed my hands several times, stick my fingers inside a lemon, and still feel a bit of the smell.. maibe i'm just paranoid...lol
@gallanted our public buses sistem is not very good, on the suburbs... sometimes to catch a different one, we have to take a half an hour, and after 7 am they come full... I'm leaving my home earlier to catch some less crowded... But it bothers me a litthe... :) my brother was also a chef (till 1 year ago), there in the UK :)
@ana1976🐞 I don't know it but it looks very nice. <br> It is close to Portsmouth ( where I was born ). Next time I'm down that way I'll give it a try. <br> The reason you might be having trouble uploading images is 'cos the site is very busy at the moment... even posting replies is taking forever.
@gallanted I like'd the troopers, bedales is like a high class college (mick jagger's god son, etc).. ps: if you want to read something funny about cooking, in the link I'm putting here (codfish carpaccio), in a reply after the recipe, read the egg story...lol... dosmovies.com/forum/thread/Codfish-carpa.... <br>
@ana1976🐞 I can imagine it :) <br> First time I used a microwave it was because someone told me they cook eggs really quickly... don't know if it was a wind up or not but they forgot to tell me to pierce the yolk. Very artistic mess! Since that time I only ever use the things for vegetables.
@gallanted *** Forget the gloves... just begin to love garlic more***
<br> Tickled me that. 
@PureVodka🍺 It's true... honest Guv! <br> I worked in France for years and everyone smelt of tobacco and garlic... after a while you don't even notice it.
@gallanted I smoke, but I always smoke outside, and with my hair in a pony tail, to make sure I catch the littles't smell possible..lol.. <br>
@gallanted By the way, if someone has been eating garlic they can breath on me all day, having said that you do get people like that (couple times in the past) sometimes, they could just eat a few mints as respect to others but i am talking about people that smell like they just ate the garlic and left the meal lol.
@ana1976🐞 You used garlic paste 
shame on you, i tried & stopped buying that crap a long time back, it's to weak and without going on the net, i say a lot of the ingredients is """ sugar """ , so you gotta bulb and press now, you will taste the difference...pints of water at hand lol.
<br>
<br> Really did enjoy reading that, you will have me cooking something good with pasta + garlic in it yet, never tried making fresh tomato (caught mi eye that) sauce before, nothing like a challenge, glad you enjoyed. 
@PureVodka🍺 I said I used to...lol.. this time, real garlic...lol... sliced thin. I'm going to use Mr. Gallanted's advice, and make my own garlic paste :) Ps: this time, I can't even load 1 pic :(
@PureVodka🍺 A friend of mine makes the fresh really mature tomatos, a bit of garlic, olive oil, salt, and a cofee spoon of sugar (to take a bit of the acidity - forgot that, I always add a cofee spoon of sugar), put everything in the blender, and then put the mix in an ice cube tray.. ahen she wants to make pasta, she takes a few squares and just trow them in the pan

@ana1976🐞 Sorry to hear that, nothing to do with you still wiping the tomato sauce of the wall then lol, just joking. ;)
@PureVodka🍺 You wish you could cook as well as I do...lol.... but accidents happen... but no, Just the blown egg of the walls, and I haven't been finding egg pieces in a few weeks...lol...
@ana1976🐞 Yes i do wish i could cook like that (time and effort like), when i read you recipe all i was saying to myself is, i would like that with slices of pork loin. :)
@PureVodka🍺 I don't cook as often as I would like, I spend too much time out.. and what I really like to cook is deserts, wich I can do even less (otherwise I wouldn't be able to fit in a door)...lol... but really, I have to keep track of my food habits to not to gain weight, but what I love to do is cakes and deserts :) ps: were u able to check the fb picks i sent u the other day?
@ana1976🐞 ps: just had a hake pudding, one of this days I'll post the recipe.. it's awesome, I don't eat hake unless it's cooked like this... it's basicly a pudding made from boiled, deboned and skinless have, tomato sauce, fresh tomato, eggs, salt pepper and other Herbs... You reduce everything to a paste, put in a bake pan, and go to the oven. it can take some mayo all arround, or simple, it's accompanied with boiled and raw veggies and shrimp <br>

@PureVodka🍺 I was trying to put a picture to pm you, but it's not possible.. i'll post here a pic of my favourite cake, and then deleted it cause it has nothing to do with the post. Warn me when u see it so i can delete it :)
@PureVodka🍺 it's reddish cause it takes a bit of pepper power as well as black pepper, salt and garlic
@PureVodka🍺 It was for easter...lol... that what I like to make... :) now only for our birtdays, the normal birthday cakes, and then just for christmas :( sniffff
@PureVodka🍺 the filling and the top cream alone it's like 3000 cals (and it's the light version)... most of it sugar :(

Ana, forgot to show you this... that thing in the image above. Brilliant little device that a friend in Italy sent me a while back... little ceramic plate with a grating surface for mashing garlic. <br> Annoyingly enough I wanted to buy one for everyone I know but when I was in Italy last August the shop where she bought it didn't have any left, and couldn't recall where the stock had been bought from??? They were probably made in China, but what a great little thing.

Hi Gallant, mine is similar to this... I never saw the plate one...lol... I'll look it up, there's tons of chinese items with this kinds of stuff... I'm looking for a zuchinni spiralizer, so that I can make my own spaguetti :) Thanks
