Catching up

How sad is it that I haven't written in five months? Hows sad is it that I have also never posted a meal consumed in our new(7 months ago) apartment.
This is what happens when I change jobs and and homes and am much more sane and happy.
So what have I been eating? What has Ed been making?
Bleu cheese topped grilled pork chops served with sweet potato fries and their own bleu cheese dip.
40 Clove Chicken. Guess what? It is crazy garlicey! The garlic becomes so tender we spread it on crackers!
The good ol' Jambalya! nice and spicy, made from scratch and provides awesome leftovers for days.

It looks like you use a different technique for softening the garlic. How do you make make the garlic 'paste?'

Nothing special. As far as I am aware Ed puts 40 peeled garlic cloves covering the base of the baking pan and drizzles some olive oil over them. Then he places the whole chicken on top and cooks it in the oven.

I've always seen the Garlic cooked separately. I'll have to try it this way. Thanks!

When I am not making 40 clove chicken, I just wrap peeled garlic cloves in foil, drizzle with olive oil and s & p, and roast in 350 to 400 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Alternative to peeled garlic, you can just cut the top off of a whole head of garlic, repeat the rest of the steps, and when the garlic is done, the clove will squeeze right out of the head.
