So far I'm still able to whack the cloves with the flat of a knife to separate the skins, it crushes the cloves a bit but I want them chopped anyway. I find it works better if I slice off the root end of each clove first.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-60241020505351994752019-07-06T05:07:12.994-04:002019-07-06T05:07:12.994-04:00I seem to have lost any sese of urgency these days...I seem to have lost any sese of urgency these days.
