A Beneficial Being!

July 22, 2008 · 3 Comments

Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
It has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
We all know the strong aroma of “garlic”…

 Garlic Flower

 Well, this sweet and exotic flower is part of it…

In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic,
perhaps owing to its reputation as a potent preventative medicine.

More to come…

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.
