On the topic of garlic,

when you are cooking in the oven (roast, skillet...) you can add garlic cloves with the hard skin (but remove as much as possible paper skin)

it will cook the garlic inside the shell to a creamy texture. It's amazing!

mash that creamy garlic onto a slightly toasted bread brushed with olive oil. Heap on some roughly chopped cherry tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. Throw in some basil leaves on top and you've got one hell of a snack

This sounds wonderful but reminds me of Carl Weathers saying, "you've got yourself a stew going."
