Balance of Food

I keep saying "At some point in my life, I want to go to the Gilroy Garlic Festival." Well, I missed another one. But I thought I would link to Kim O'Donnel's blog in washingtonpost.com and her coverage of the festival. I was recommending fresh garlic, especially this summer, to a friend of mine who is trying to do more cooking. I tell her that garlic adds flavor to everything at no expense, calorie-wise. In my Cleveland trip, the baseball stadium (Jacobs Field) offered garlic fries. I was tempted to try them, but didn't because I feared they wouldn't be garlicky enough. Based on the response of the guy behind the counter, I think I made the right choice. I would love to do a garlic tour of San Francisco's ballpark garlic fries at AT&T Park, home of the Giants, and a trip to Gilroy.
