In other words, I still can't break my bing. Even did a crystal sculpture (other site) and uber enhanced surreal landscape (yet another site), but cannot leave this perspective binge. lolol

Yes, I like Garlic. Sono Italiana di mio nonno!
That probably made no sense, but I tried. xD
Nice field of garlic, just grab a clove and throw in the ground, it'll grow more! :P

If you could make a 3D eye magic thing, you could have a vampire hidden in there.

Good one Lyle :)
Yes I like garlic. Brings out more flavour in dishes.

Thanks for the comments.

Yes Tran; if you zoom close enough, you can "hide" the repeating seams better (which is what I did here). If you can make a very homogeneous texture, then the seams can be made to disappear if you will, but you have to really try hard to create such textures (except for objects that are already homogeneous of course such as pebbles and sand). :)

I like it drizzled with olive oil, salt & pepper then roasted for 30min in the oven. Smash with potatoes or mix with soft butter to make garlic butter. Yum!!

Just to add to all this garlic stuff. I don't know about the rest of you but when I buy garlic buds, there are a lot of times I don't use it all and it will sit on the counter for weeks or more and when I go to use it, it has all dried out. I found a recipe for freezing it on the internet and it works like a charm.
I have a little mini chopper that I use that is electric but I also have one where you turn the handle and does the same job.
Clean all the skins off the buds and cut them into half or so, put them into the mini grinder and chop them until they are very small. Then add 3 tbs of olive oil to these and mix them up. Scoop them up in tsps sizes onto a piece of waxed paper on a tray and freeze until they are set, then put then into a tupperware or any kind of container with a lid. You can also use zipper bags.
When you are making your batches of spaghetti sauce or anything that requires garlic, just open the container and pop one or two into you sauce. This is the best way to save your garlic so you won't be throwing it away most of the time.
Here is a picture of mine that I just used this morning on my spaghetti batch.

Thank you Molly, a great idea yours. I like garlic and I use it for cooking. I live in a country where garlic it's very common, so I use it fresh at the moment I need it. To get rid of the smell of garlic when used, you have to let cold water run over your fingers, knife etc. without rubbing. This works great! :)
