Fine cooking and garlic extravaganza

On a brighter note: i finally found a cooking magazine that's not boring: Fine Cooking. They have great recipes and good instructions and tips that actually teach you how to cook. YAY! Being the impulse buyer that i am, i immediately bought a back issue that has a supposedly genius article about baking chocolate chip cookies (i didn't have much luck with baking them before), and i signed up for a trial issue. They send it surface mail so i won't get it till 2 months from now ... ah, the anticipation will kill me!

Today, to fight my horrible cold i cooked garlic soup (yesterday i had Spaghetti aglio e olio (spaghetti with lots of garlic and olive oil). I found the recipe online that was just what i wanted, easy to cook, yummy creamy taste: cook 1 cup garlic cloves, 1 cup of diced potatoes, 1 cup chopped carrot and 2 1/2 cups veggie broth, and blend in a blender. Very very yummy!

I hope all the garlic will work to fight the bacteria or virus that's making me ill. Cobined in the two meals i have now consumed 3 small and 1 giant (believe me, it was huge - like a larger onion) garlic heads. (No, i don't plan to go among people in the following day or so.)
