To Ward Away The Vampires
November 19, 2007
While washing dishes this morning, something inside the disposal caught my eye. A lemon! I love lemons, especially in my disposal, because when I grind them up the entire kitchen smells citrus-y clean and fresh.
I wasn’t sure where the lemon had come from, since I don’t have any on hand, so I assumed that it must have been in a take-out glass of tea or water. I thought that perhaps someone dumped the leftover ice and lemon down the drain. Without giving it a second thought, I turned on the water and hit the disposal switch.
When the disposal began grinding, an odd smell wafted through the air. A fleeting memory of something that had fallen down the drain the day before flashed through my mind. It wasn’t lemon. It was garlic.

Ohh... NO..
That is certainly not a smell you want wafting through your house when you are expecting a LEMON.
Wow, what a surprise that must have been.

There are worse smells than garlic.
At least it's organic.
And imagine the lemony garlic goodness, should you pop a slice of lemon in immediately after.
Actually, I believe the lemon would cancel out the garlic. It does on my utensils after chopping garlic, my fingers too.
Note to self: Never be without lemon.

If you suddenly see blood coming out of the tap, run!

how funny... today I almost posted about Garlic and the fact that my mouth was so filled with garlic taste that it was as if I was chewing garlic tainted gum.

Ug. That is worse than taking a drink and expecting one thing and then realizing you are swallowing another...
