surely homeopathic use of cloves has some benefit. Keeps fractions of vampires away at least?

BUt I do tend to use one whole bulb in a meal preparation.

I don't think UI have had the chance to work out what a hate read would be, spending too much time reading through part of what I want to read for itself and surrounded by loads of other possible great reads. Do you use a hate read as a palate cleanser or at least resetter?
So you have a baseline to compare good writing to?
I do remember reading a music journalist I cant read and Hilary Mantel in quick juxtaposition and thinking the quality difference was mammoth. But find it odd that anybody would have the time to actively hate read. Would be good to have the time to read everything one would actually want to. is there a level of masochism involved?

I tend to use a whole bulb of garlic at a time as well stevo, it's the key to immortality imo.

That’s not what John Retoul says

I've got the power to weaken the undead knave, just by breathing on him!

apparently when you crush garlic there is a chemical reaction that alters its cellular makeup and makes it very good for your health.
