I use it for some things too. I used some tonight. I had some nice thin
pork chops. I mixed up some garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano and
chopped mint, rubbed it onto the chops and let them sit for an hour and
then grilled them for about 3 minutes on the grill at high heat. They were
delicious. I also use a dash of it in hamburgers. That is about all I use
it for, but it works great in those things.

I'm sure you've never tasted fresh garlic.

I have used several types of garlic. Cloves (for pesto), granulated garlic
powder on pizza. Also a bottle of dehydrated minced garlic came with a spice
rack. It almost doesn't completely rehydrate during cooking, then the packed
in oil minced garlic that gave me instant acne for a day. :(

I've used a garlic powder at the pizza parlor which is as fine as powdered
sugar.

While I've used garlic powder for chip dip in the past, I much prefer
fresh, since the garlic is the main point for me.

GARIC AND HORSERADISH DIP
=========================

8 oz cream cheese, softened
milk
3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 jalapeno peppers, minced


Put cheese, milk, garlic and horseradish in bowl. Mix well, adding milk
to give your preferred consistency. Add peppers. I like the peppers to
be big enough to give some crunch in each bite, so I add them at the end
so they don't get smunched.

I'll try it using sour cream in place of the milk, for extra gloppiness and
that little extra oomph.

Who cares what people think? Just say "it's a secret recipe" and move on.

I have some, but it does the wrong things to me. Things fresh
garlic and dried minced garlic do not.

Though it has been 25 years or so since I last ate liver, I can tell you
that the "secret" to me liking it was garlic powder. I'd mix a quarter cup
of flower with 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. Then dredge the liver in it
and fry it in butter at a high temperature. It made a crispy skin and a
juicy interior. I cannot stand liver cooked any other way.

I thought that was weird, too. Besides, what's so special about a burger
with onion soup mix in it?

I don't know. I can't imagine a contestant trying to win a cooking
show would rely on an ingredient like that. As Blair said, perhaps
they were aspiring to Sandra Lee. But then, it amazes me she is
considered a Food Network star, so what do I know.

Why do some people think that when someone else acts like a jerk they
should act like a jerk in return?

Your actions will cause the dog to be punished for having an
"accident" inside and also suffer pain because the owner is an idiot.
Please explain to us exactly *how* you think this act of animal
cruelty will teach the owner not to let that dog **** on the sidewalk
without cleaning it up. Do you plan to write a letter explaining your
train of thought.... and sign it with your real name?

How old are you? 14? That punishment does not the crime in any way,
shape or form. I'd tell you the correct way to deal with it, but you
sound too immature to be able to do it properly.

I do, or at least I will when my garlic crop comes in.

Tonight, however, I'm planning to use garlic powder in a rub for
grilled chicken
breasts.

It would make it conform to the seemingly popular idea that nothing
should have its real taste.

So when I pull fresh garlic out of the garden what am I tasting?

Explain how the minimally dried garlic bulbs (there is almost no
difference between them and what I find in the garden) are the same as
garlic powder. When garlic powder is made aromatics are driven off.
Garlic powder certainly isn't evil but it isn't the same as fresh.

Just because "every spice is used dried" doesn't mean they are as good
as fresh. Dried dill, coriander, mint, etc aren't even close to fresh.

The only thing my husband ever cooked was burgers on the grill with
onion soup mix in them. Dead salty, hard little balls of meat his parents
raved about, way overcooked because "raw meat will kill you."

He wouldn't give them up, long after he stopped grilling, so I began
using onion flakes, garlic powder, fresh cracked pepper and a fraction
of the salt. He likes these better. (I think the only thing missing is the
boullion, and who needs that when it is beef you're cooking?

I like the onion and garlic abut also like plain burgers with only
salt and pepper, loaded down with fresh vegetables.

In his family, his mother never cooked anything that was "too
messy."

In the years we've been married he has come around to some
of the best things in life being messy. :)

If you say so. That is as accurate as your "no young person has tasted a
real pizza".
