Protip: you can convert your bread into garlic bread
@nina_kali_nina but can you de-garlic it?
@mmu_man yes, but it will cease to exist
@mmu_man @nina_kali_nina Whether you could or not, why would you? 🤔
@mahryekuh @nina_kali_nina to share with your vampire friends 😛
@mmu_man @nina_kali_nina Oof, no garlic… it must be hard to be a vampire.
@nina_kali_nina You can also convert your bread to toast. :O
@nina_kali_nina it seems like I learn something new about Minecraft every day
@nina_kali_nina Garlic butter + baguette + oven = 🤤 🤤
@nina_kali_nina Don't heed that siren's song! You will inevitably make too much garlic bread, eat all of it anyway, and feel sick for the rest of the evening.
@LariscusObscurus what's "too much garlic bread"

@nina_kali_nina

Do you have a favorite recipe? I usually mash a lot of chopped garlic and a little bit of chopped parsely into butter, slather that on bread and toast in the oven. But I have heard of other ways, including using mayonnaise

@elithebearded when I'm in rush, I mix margarine with garlic paste and spread it over a hot toast. Heresy, but a tasty one.

@elithebearded @nina_kali_nina This is probably no different than the frozen garlic bread you get at the supermarket, and I find those pretty agreeable.

How do we feel about cheesy garlic bread?

@bytex64 @elithebearded yes! SometimesI boil a cup of water, then use my cooking chopsticks to carefully dip a slice of cheese in it multiple times, until it starts getting melty, and then pour it over bread

@bytex64 @nina_kali_nina

I cannot imagine thinking of melting cheese that way. I have cooking chopsticks, but I mostly use them for frying. If I just wanted a slice of melted cheese, I would use the oven, with cheese on a silpat (silicone cooking sheet)

@elithebearded @bytex64 I only have a large oven, so it feels like a waste of energy. Boiling 200ml is also very fast, so I can have melted cheese on demand. It takes some skill, though: twice I've lost the cheese and had to scrape it off the vessel
@nina_kali_nina @elithebearded another option if you're in a hurry: take a single garlic clove with the papery layers removed, and just rub it over the surface of the toast.
It doesn't take much - the raw garlic can be a little punchy if you overdo it.
If you have time, it goes nicely with chopped tomatoes, olive oil and basil. Given good ingredients, I could happily survive on just this in the summertime.
@nina_kali_nina
This is the kind of investment advice I need.

@nina_kali_nina Actual good advice!

Now, if it just wouldn't trigger those damn migraines after digestion. 😢

@nina_kali_nina More butter plus more garlic == more betterer.
@nina_kali_nina The Sizzler hates this simple trick!
@nina_kali_nina yes, but why stop at just garlic? You can put entire sausages in there, or rosemary, tomato, garlic, and olives.
@nina_kali_nina Additional Protip: you can convert your beard into garlic beard (what I found out while eating)
@mu I'll buy a fake beard and will try to confirm
