I said Gahlic

I have been cooking a lot of Indian dishes recently. Mostly I'm perfecting my palak paneer entree with rice which I cooked last night. The long and the short of it is that I'm cooking with a lot of onions, chillies, and garrrlic. I love the flavors, and I love that something as boring as spinach can kick the taste buds so strongly with the help of some spices. It's healthier than the perogies and bratwurst I've been eating, too. However, there's a little problem:

I'm now sweating garlic.

I work out at lunch, and afterwards I hit the shower. While I was soaping down, I detected a strong odor of garlic. I thought I smelled it on my gym bag earlier, and I chalked that up to it being in the kitchen while I'd been cooking all weekend. Um. Maybe. Or maybe it's because the bag contains my sweaty gym clothes, and my flesh reeks undeniably of odoriferous allium.

In high school there was a popular Latin teacher named Barcio. Strange that a Latin teacher should be popular, but I hear that's fairly common. I imagine young Latin enthusiasts would have to hone serious humor oriented verbal survival skills not unlike young homosexuals. Thankfully, their passion actually strengthens linguistic skills and sharpens the sword they carry. That's my theory. - Anyway, this Barcio guy was popular - as in referred to without title popular. Barcio said this crazy shit in class. No one had anything bad to say about him save one issue. He sweat garlic. Apparently, the man consumed (most likely still does) large quantities of garlic, and if any of his students were distressed about him they'd undoubtedly bring this up. Reportedly, his pores oozed garlic oil, and if he worked himself up in class woe was it to those seated in the front row.

Sure the guy was cool, but I don't want to be garlic girl. That's not hot. Although, I refuse to change my eating habits. I love garlic. It's healthy and tasty and makes otherwise bland food (pasta, rice, spinach, chicken - anything) fabulous.

I've recently developed a taste for onions as well. My future looks smelly.
