Last October – after recovering quite a bit from having a chunk of lung removed during the summer – my sister and I planted out 35 pounds of garlic. This July, I pulled up two of the type we had put in.
This is the Lorz Italian variety. It’s a milder garlic, one we use more for roasting. We won’t be planting this one again this season, as we really do prefer the stronger garlics.
This is the Inchelium Red garlic, one we like quite a bit. It’s a stronger garlic, and around here, that’s what we like.
The third variety, Chesnok Red, is also a strong garlic with a bite, and that one was pulled in late August. It’s currently curing in the garage, awaiting processing.
The other two, though, are cleaned and in storage.
Why yes, we do go through a lot of garlic around here. Tonight’s use was in a batch of guacamole whipped up for taco night. Unfortunately, yours truly was at the dentist for three and a half hours for two crown preps and was unable to partake in dinner. Ow.
Work funnies: one guy saying he was going to “rethink his relationship” with us, because the application he installed once upon a time and apparently hasn’t updated at any point has a component that doesn’t like one of the usual and routine updates run for security reasons. After over seven years with us. Interesting method of dealing with it, instead of simply taking care of your site maintenance, something with which we could certainly assist. Another guy insisting that the server where his site is located is down constantly, when a review of the firewall shows he’s locked himself out via login failures to a password protected area. Under his own site. Aren’t you glad you don’t work in tech?
Ummmm, garlic! I love the stuff, although not as much as one of my brothers, who I swear could eat a bulb of the strongest possible garlic and not break out in a sweat.
I definitely wouldn’t want to do your job, especially what I’d call the “unreasonable clients” part of it. As someone who’s been your client for a decade but hasn’t been a prolific in the maintenance area in the last half of that business relationship with you, I would know that I’d only have myself to blame if something suddenly stopped working as before. It would be the only reasonable conclusion, but of course, many are those who refuse to assume responsibility for their own actions (or inactions, in this case).
