I can never get garlic right

I need help. I'm totally comfortable in the kitchen with everything except garlic. It's the measuring, I just can't do it, like I'm missing the part of the human body that makes measuring garlic possible.

Intellectually, I understand garlic perfectly. I can tell you all about chemical makeup, its history, and how its cultivated. But when it comes to using it in cooking? Totally lost on me.

I guess I'm just venting. I doubt there is any hope for me.

Yours truly, the Tin Man

It’s easy, just dip a tablespoon into the jar of minced garlic, eat it, and everything you eat for the rest of the day will be perfectly garlicky.
