Oh no correction intended, your post was just fine. It’s always neat to see someone mention something thats right in your backyard. I’ll have to see if I can pull up some old pics I’ve taken there. It’s a very lively event and the air is absolutely pungent with Garlic.

The funny thing is when you drive through the area during garlic harvest season, the combination of the harvest and the plants processing it will literally make your eyes tear up when passing through. But my god that smell:)

Garlic is one of nature's true gifts. There aren't many restaurant meals that stay in my memory for long. But one that does was an abalone meal I had at Jack London Square in Oakland. It was very garlicky. Wonderful.

That sounds fantastic. Garlic definitely is a true gift from good ‘ole Mother Earth:)

I had a delicious meal like this once, probably about 15yrs ago. A place in San Francisco called “The Stinkin Rose.” Take a wild guess what every one of their dishes contain :) They got famous around here for their 40 clove garlic chicken dish originally, but they serve amazing pasta and salads as well.

About 20yrs ago I was at the Gilroy Garlic festival and got to meet the owner as well as a local celebrity chef who wrote a cookbook for them. I picked up a copy and got it signed and I had completely forgot about it all these years later until just now. I’ll have to see if I can whip up a recipe out of the book for the challenge.

So what caused you to use the name of Thor's hammer in your handle?

Well while I am familiar with the comic character and the mythology, I actually use it to reference the armor of the Master Chief in the Halo video game from 2001 which I’m sure they probably got the idea from Thor. I played a lot of competitive video games back then and it seemed fitting:) I’ve had it ever since and I can’t believe its been that long!
 
The garlic challenge is nearing its end, let’s see if we have any last-minute entries!
