I spent last week on the coast of Northern California, splitting the time between Marin County north of San Francisco, and Big Sur to the south. We drove north to south in the middle of the week, through golden hills and irrigated rows of green. Suddenly, with fields all around, I sniffed. Had I forgot to wash my hands after last night's garlicky pasta dinner? No — even that wouldn't give off this garlic pungence, this scent of a thousand garlic cloves minced and oily. Gilroy's special aroma, which can be fully experienced even from a fast-moving car on a highway outside town, is well-documented.

I admit that I rather liked the smell of Gilroy, musky and sweet, all-encompassing. It also blooms overnight in the fridge; this is a good pasta salad to make a night ahead. So don't be afraid of the three whole garlic heads; roast away, remember Gilroy, and enjoy garlic in all its many tastes.

Source: Food Network Magazine, March 2011 I changed this recipe around and like what I came out with. The original called for Agnolotti and I used Tortellini. It also called for frozen artichokes, but I find those have zero taste so I used ones packed in oil and drained them.

I also substituted 1C milk with 2 Tbsp flour and 2 tsp parmesan mixed in for the half-and-half.

Revolutionary Mac & Cheese. I found this recipe long ago and can’t believe I’m just now making it. The neat thing about this recipe, is you simmer the noodles in the milk instead of using water then adding it at the end. It’s cheesy and the mustard gives it a nice depth of flavor. It still doesn’t top the blue box for me (I know, I know but I just can’t help that I love it so much) but it is a great homemade alternative. I also made it a bit lighter by using skim milk, reduced fat cheese, and whole wheat pasta. Feel free to go that route or use full fat ingredients for a super indulgent and decadent meal or side dish.

This meatless Monday thing, I’m getting the hang of it. Don doesn’t like the idea of meatless Mondays (Boys. They like meat). Even worse for him is that Tuesdays end up being meatless, or at least pescatarian, because we do Taco Tuesdays at Rubio’s and eat nothing but fried fish tacos (Tuesdays are also Teatime Tuesdays, and I lay off on the coffee). Wednesdays, I don’t have any cutesy jingles for, so dinnertime finally returns to the usual routine.
