Another Night of
Sleeping on the Couch
Sleeping 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!

I love garlic and I like to use garlic salt on so many of my dishes!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem! The recipe sounds good, too. I use a lot of garlic in my cooking—I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteCute Cute poem. I love garlic and don't know how people cook without it.

There's an Italian restaurant in Pacifica, CA called Nicks. When you walk in you smell garlic. Oh it's pure heaven. I don't care what I smell like, give me the garlic.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. ☺
I love garlic, have some friends who grow the stuff and send a jar of their powdered product from time to time.
ReplyDeleteOh, garlic, how much we use here! Even my Little Girl, who claims to be a vampire, loves it.
ReplyDeleteIt's true that garlic stinks, but I'd much rather cook with it than roses.
