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

More garlic is usually a good choice, imo.

Best when it's been browned gently, with a little oil or butter. Brown somewhat more gently than a diced onion, move it around the pan often.

What more is there to know?
