    The garlic cloves should be on the small side. If you have fat ones, just use one.

    Unless, of course, you are trying to fend off vampires.

    I can't see that I have any use for vampires and I love garlic. I've saved this recipe. Next summer I will have enough basil. I'm going to grow it in the front yard just because they said it's against the rules.

    What a stupid rule. Basil is beautiful.
