Yes, a little miso goes a long way...just made a big noodle dish last night with a pile of vegetables and some fish...the addition of a couple of teaspoons of dark (red) miso really did the trick to finish it off...a nice, one-dish meal.

I made Swiss steak last night.
Usually 4 chunks of whatever kind of meat you want about a quarter kg in size each
a pint of my home canned tomatoes (or your own lol)
a couple squirts of hickory flavor
a few squirts of Louisiana hot sauce (or whatever)
cup of BBQ sauce
large chopped onion
a few pinches of ground chili peppers
1 each of chopped red, green, and orange bell pepper
Brown the steak while mixing all the other ingredients together in a baking pan.
Add the steaks and whatever drippings to the sauce. cover with Al foil and bake for a half hour or till the veggies are cooked then uncover and bake another half hour.
Serve with baked spuds, rice, or something.

Sounds yummy! (No garlic?)...
ooops 2 cloves or whatever you prefer
Writing stuff from memory and actually doing it are different sometimes. lol
OK, got it! Yeah, I know what you mean...I tend to use recipes as "guidelines" as I like to flavour the meal to whatever mood I might happen to be in...example...the happier I am, the spicier the meal tends to get!
Back in my "courtin' days", I used to try and entice the ladies with some home-cooked gourmet dinners (with candlelight, wines, etc.) and I tended to hold off on the garlic, for obvious reasons...
That's a strange thing, I've noticed. I can't really get upset over garlic breath. To me, it's more offensive if someone smells like they bathed in their perfume or antiperspirant or something. Perhaps if their breath smelled like rotten spuds I might cringe, though.OK, got it!

Personally, I agree with you on the garlic breath...there are lots worse things. If both people (in the "courtin' scenario") eat garlic, there shouldn't be a problem anyway...I was just bein' cautious to try and increase the odds of "success!"
And, I always tried to avoid serving rotten spuds! :lol:
garlic breath, dirt and sweat combined are the worst.
I love garlic, and a little garlic breath is fine,
but the above, and it's over for me.

Hear! Hear! Anna. I do agree with you. Most of my friends are big garlic eaters so I really don't notice an odor anymore. I use garlic in everything I can.
Actually, CB and I have a mutual friend who owns a garlic business locally. It is called The Goodness of Garlic. Gail has a wonderful website where you can order all manner of purely good garlic items. For years she was involved in holding an annual Garlic Festival. She started it on her own land. Attendance outgrew her ability to accomodate all the visitors and the village of 100 Mile took it over. The Festival has done nothing but grow in size and attendance. If you are ever up our way in August, you might want to check it out. All the info on it can be found on the website.
I can attest to the fact that the lady mentioned (Gail) lives and breathes garlic. But alas, the Garlic Festival Mowich mentions (www.garlicfestival.ca) is in jeopardy this year, as Gail likely won't be able to carry through with it again this year...the base of volunteers in ths area is getting all tapped out and Gail is well into her 60s and, as spry as she is, is looking for an organization to take it over and run with it.
Indian food stink?!? Hey Karrie, I'd call it "ayurvedic aroma"...much more descriptive and accurate! :lol:
Thanks for the update on that, CB. Hadn't realized this was the case. What a shame, Gail worked so hard to promote that festival.
lol Karrie - I don't recall ever noticing a garlic aura around you... 'course, that could be due to my own garlic aura overpowering yours?
and as for favourite food, may gawd forgive me, but I still love a nasty old greasy cheeseburger and french fries. (make 'em yam fries, even better!) Barring that, anything deep fried will do.
/oh the shame.

Yeah, but think of it as "food for the soul!" (That's important too!)
Sheperd's Pie is my all-time favorite dish followed by my dad's homemade burgers. Lots of good memories during those meals, but just a few years ago I developed an allergy to ground beef and now I can't eat anything with that in it.
We have a big Garlic Festival in New Denver. Used to be in Hills but it got too big so they moved to New Denver. This year we had over 5000 people and over 100 booths. It was a little overwhelming for this old fart.
