Butter, Pepper and Garlic Notes

1) The Kerrygold Garlic & Herb butter sure is tasty on a toasted baguette! I'm finding that fancy butters are usually not salty enough for my liking. The few times i had fancy butter with sea salt, it's been too salty. I guess i just have a salt problem.

2) The OXO Grind It pepper grinder that i bought my sister for xmas sucks! When we first tested it out, it took a ton of grinds to produce a decent quantity of pepper. After a few months, it's broken and merely emits pepper dust, no matter how we adjust the grind. It's not jammed, it just sucks! A disappointment, especially since their other products (namely their peeler and can opener) are great.

3) O sent me a link to Garlicster, a site about all things garlic! Lots of recipes and interesting tips about garlic. (PS: the 2 heads of garlic i bought at the Union Square Whole Foods suck ass! Upon peeling and chopping, they were dry and staring to sprout. The BEST garlic can be bought in Chinatown off the street vendors, 5 hot juicy garlics for $1.00.)
