Garlic Festival

Steve Calvin said:

Last year someone asked me to remind them when the garlic festival was
going to be this year but I don't recall who. :-( So I figured I'd
post it.

What: Hudson Valley Garlic Festival

When: This weekend (always the last full weekend in Sept)

Where: Saugerties, New York

Website: http://hvgf.org/

I'd caution anyone to go early as it does get very crowded.

If you go, try the garlic ice cream. I did last year and surprisingly
enough it was *good*!

Darn, darn, darn!!! Why couldn't it be closer to us? I would really
love going to this. We are into the food fests but have plans for that
weekend <sniff>.

And easy to make, i first ran across it at the California "Gilroy Garlic
Festival" and was a bit dubious till i tried it, now i am a convert,
having always been a garlicophyle (if such a word exists) i bake a
couple of heads of garlic, mash it all up and add it to a gallon or so
of softened vanilla ice cream. Re freeze and then serve.

I often serve it with and avocado sauce, avocado just pureed in a
processor with a bit of lemon juice and s & p. One time i had a jar of
humus and no avocado and tried a bit of the humus on the garlic ice
cream, it was actually rather good.

Never read the fine print. There ain't no way you're going to like it.

i was going to sat that this is really weird, but then, I eat peanut butter
and onion sandwiches. There's no accounting for taste! :-)

I tried Elvis Presly's supposedly favourite sandwich once, mayo, peanut

pan fried in butter but i just assembled the ingredients on un toasted
white bread and was rather impressed with the flavour combination. As a
child i often put potato chips on a tuna sandwich.

Don't know where you heard that, sweetie. Elvis loved peanut butter and
mashed banana sandwiches prepared like grilled cheese on buttered white
bread. No mayo, no potato chips. But hey, enjoy yours your way if you like
it. Can't be any worse than peanut butter and that marshmallow fluff
stuff - fluffernutters?

(laugh) I bought some of that a few weeks ago ... I don't know why.
It's interesting stuff. Weird how it reforms itself after you take out a
spoonful. Now what to do with it? It has a recipe for no fail fudge,
what the heck, maybe I'll make that.

I must have seen a reference to it somewhere, I looked for it in the
store. It'll be by the peanut butter, right? Silly girl. Then some time
later I was looking for something else, and what do I see? Fluff.
I think it was by the ice cream toppings.

Who can fathom why stores put stuff where they do? I am looking
for chopped walnuts to make Carol's aunt's sour cream cookies. You
know, a bag of chopped nuts. Where would you look for that? In the
aisle labeled nuts of course, silly. Well, that's just great, if you want
cans of honey roasted nuts or cocktail peanuts or David's sunflower
seeds. I can only think they must be somewhere by the produce.
BAG O NUTS people. Geez. (laugh)

Did you finally find the walnuts? In the supermarket I frequent, there
are nuts in 4 different areas! The roasted, salted nuts etc. are in the
same place as the chips and pretzels etc. There are some packaged nuts of
a particular brand (mainly raw, plus dry roasted almonds) in the same
area as health foods. There are bulk nuts (sold by weight), and bags of
peanuts in the shell, and some other large bags of nuts in the fresh
produce section. Then there's the largest area of nuts - raw ones,
blanched ones, slivered almonds, those chopped walnuts! etc. - both bags,
and some small snack packs. These are all in the same area as the dried
fruit. Maybe your chopped walnuts are near the dried fruit, too :-)

Um. The fudge recipe doesn't contain peanut butter! But what the heck?
Give it a try.

It actually makes some kind of sense, at least in the stores I go to.
What were you going to do with these nuts? Bake cookies? What's the
main ingredient for baking? Flour! So look in the baking supplies, or
where it says "flour".

I wanted to buy some. And such a large bucket of the stuff it is, too!
That's why the fudge recipe looked like a possibility, but now that you
mention it ... why not peanut butter in it. Hmmm.

It was a long time ago and i think the recipe was in something called
the "White Trash Cook Book" however i could be confusing personal
memories of peanut butter and mayo with the Elvis sandwich.

I recently bought some garlic roasted peanuts that i am thinking of
making peanut butter with them. Garlic peanut butter just seems so

That fudge recipe is to die for! Try it! It's really a no-fail thing and
doesn't require baking.

I love boiled green peanuts and sometimes they are done in a spicy brine
that contains garlic as well as hot peppers down in South Carolina. Can't
see any reason not to make garlic/pepper PB unless you are feeding children
