Another Night of Sleepng on the Couch
This stinking rose
Offends her nose
When I've had a bite
So late at night
I sneak in bed
Away from her head
BUT! "Oh no! Oh ick !"
"I smell garlic!"
So off I go-
she's such a grouch
Once again I am sleeping
on the couch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This would never happen with us as we are addicted to
the "Stinking Rose" and most every main dish begins
with "2-6 garlic cloves-depending on how mean you are."
Here's one of our favorite garlic laced recipes.
Bon Appetit!
The Famous and Awesomely Tasty Garlic Spagetti
2 ample servings
6-8 cloves pressed raw garlic (more if you feel really mean)
1 raw egg
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon dry basil or 3 T fresh chopped basil
1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan/romano/asaigo cheese-what ever you prefer
9oz fresh pasta or same equivalent in dry pasta
Mix garlic,raw egg,butter,basil,parsley,and cheese throughly into a "gunk"
meanwhile boil water for pasta, cook pasta, drain pasta and stir gunk into hot pasta
throughly and serve immediately with crusty bread and a big green salad. YUM

A first for me ... egg in the spaghetti ... I MUST try your recipe. I love garlic, the more the better.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun - chew parsley!
ReplyDeleteNice fun take, great recipe - I was tempted to put my recipe up too!
Yummies...thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. My husband hates garlic, but this sounds so tempting.
ReplyDeleteInteresting recipe! Thank you. Loved the poem, very fun.
ReplyDeletethe trick is to get her to eat garlic too...this will cancel out yours...
ReplyDeleteThat does sound YUM!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious...both poem, and recipe.
ReplyDeleteFun poem! And the recipe sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteFor once something that tastes good is also healthy.
ReplyDeleteFun Magpie.
Lovely recipe, I must try it.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! But of course you know to eat some too, as you do, but Shari seems to be thinking of a use for garlic that sends somebody who hates garlic to the couch! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteSounds like most delicious "gunk." The stinking rose is a popular guest in this house, too. Delicious Magpie!
ReplyDeleteFunny poem. Yummy recipe!

ReplyDeleteI really like how we get so many ideas out of one photo. Everyone interpreting it differently.
viscous time
It wouldn't happen in my house either .. my husband & I are both partial to garlic! Recipe sounds delicioso!
ReplyDeletelol....I've made a similar post! I do like garlic but in very small doses. I may have to keep the recipe top secret, though!!
ReplyDeletethe problem may not be eating garlic, if she brushes her teeth before going to bed, then no issues...
ReplyDeletewell done, I have a good smile reading your words.
:)
Funny! Funny!
ReplyDeleteNice poem. Garlic is definitely worth sleeping on the couch for!
ReplyDeletehahahah... yea, when it comes to garlic, both hubby and I are quite shameless about it.. (thank God!!) :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh... I am already slurping over that Garlic Spagetti...mmmmm
You have truly done justice to the photograph.
ReplyDeleteOh , that sounds good .But I must wait till the school holidays . Though it would be interesting to see the effect on the pre-schoolers the next day .
