This isn't really a post about a recipe, but have you ever head fresh garlic? As in not dried in heads like every garlic you have seen? I got my hands on some from my favorite farm. They put most of it away to dry and sell later in the year, but some they sell fresh. This one happens to be some sort of Spanish purple variety. It looks like a regular head, but the paper part isn't all dried out. Its more like the layer on an onion that is under the paper, but that you still have to remove. And when you cut this garlic it has the feeling like if you cut an apple. Juciy, I guess? I don't really know how to describe it. I don't really notice a difference in the taste or anything, it is just cool as something different.

Reminds Me of Prince
As my bestie would say, ohmigosh! I can't believe I have slacked this much on my writingz. Well, what better place to start back into it than purple potatoes! We picked these up at a farmer's market. For no other reason, really, than because they were purple. We ate them baked, although I had the desperate urge to make mashed potatoes out of them. I wish they tasted as awesome as they looked. There weren't bad by any means, but very plain. I know, duh. But I mean even more so than a regular potato. Still. A+ in the looks department.
