In Pursuit of Garlic
“Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.
ALICE MAY BROCK, baker of hash brownies; owner of Alice’s Restaurant; author of Alice’s Restaurant Cookbook The night I discovered garlic, my thoughts were on anything but food. I was seventeen, madly in love as only a hormone-fueled teenager can be, with a gorgeous black-haired boy with dimples and white teeth. He’d borrowed his father’s car for an evening drive-about, our euphemistic term for a quick tour of the city’s streets and then a l...ong park somewhere dark. These evenings were relatively innocent compared with what I hear about teenage sex lives today, but they were exciting and risky then, sometimes involving a roving and perhaps overzealous policeman who shone a flashlight into the car window. What if he took the license plate number and called Joe’s father? Or, worse, my mother?
Never mind, the risk was worth it. This particular occasion was a hypnotic spring evening in early June trembling with promise.MoreLess
