A cousin of mine brought me some mooncakes from China. I was surprised at the light sweetness of the bean paste. They were tasty. I've heard some Asian folks say that Western desserts are heavy, cloying, and use too much fat and sugar. After trying a Japanese cheesecake recipe, I can understand why; Asian palates tend to be more sensitive than Westerners, so less sugar is needed. Garlic is another offender, and is rarely, if ever, used in Japanese cuisine. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert1434 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Health Effects of Japanese Garlic Garlic is a perennial that originated in central Asia and is now used globally. Its medicinal and culinary benefits have been well known for thousands of years. Japanese garlic is a large variety of garlic with three to seven cloves, sometimes growing as large as elephant garlic. It's pungent and strong, with a pleasant flavor and contains the same general health benefits common to all garlic varieties.

Popular Post Headstall Posted May 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2022 Was on my lawn tractor when a lightning strike hit about sixty/seventy feet away from me. I was looking right at it when it happened. Scared the hell out of me... drove straight into the barn and over my hose with the blades on. I might have sliced the hose, but at least I'm safe. It is raining like crazy and the boom of thunder is almost continuous... freaky! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... seriously, it was dark and cloudy, but the rain came right after that first lightning strike. I'm old but I'm not an idiot. I thought I could beat the rain. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, just a bit of a daredevil then The closest that happened to me was lightning striking in an empty field right behind my sister’s house. That felt like a bomb dropping, and of course the power surge that hit the house took out their alarm system. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Gary It's the second largest city in Thailand. It's popular because the climate is much better than Bangkok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
