Imagine this: a Sunday newspaper spread filled with comic strips, but every single one stars garlic. In one strip, a garlic bulb gazes wistfully at a neighboring pot of basil, lamenting, “They’ll never understand our chemistry until it’s too late.” Another shows a bulb trying to comfort a clove that’s just been sliced, saying, “They are not crying because you’re hurt. They’re crying because they love your flavor.””The absurdity of garlic with emotions is hilarious, but somehow it tugs at your heartstrings, too. Growing garlic teaches patience, cooking with it teaches creativity, but imagining garlic with thoughts teaches us one undeniable truth: even a humble bulb can dream big.
