Garlic, anyone????

There are many firsts in life. Today was the first time that I bit into a clove of raw garlic. I waited until the Ukrainian at the table did it first because I thought it was a joke. After all, if you like garlic flavor in your soup, wouldn't you just mince it and put it in the pot? Apparently not. Honestly, as long as you had a spoonful of soup it wasn't that bad. But, note, I only had one!!
