Re: for iBcookin and others... - bjcotton - 04-12-2008 One I looked up yesterday...1 clove garlic chopped = 1 tsp 1 clove garlic minced = 1/2 tsp Re: for iBcookin and others... - firechef - 04-12-2008 That is an interesting one Labs. Had never thought that way about stuff. Re: for iBcookin and others... - labradors - 04-12-2008 It has made a number of things easier. Have had that bookmarked for a couple of years.

Re: for iBcookin and others... - iBcookin - 04-13-2008 You guys are too much! Many thanks for the info, so now when I get inspired to do some exotic cooking I won't have any excuses! |
