this is not really funny. I go on these binges where I am eating unreal amounts of raw garlic...like 4 smashed cloves on my bread or 1 bulb, smashed mixed with pasta.. On other days I eat Basil like there's no tomorrow. I mean boxes of Basil...I rip the leaves of the stems, stack them and then eat them (preferably with Garlic) on bread..or make a pesto with 3 bags of Basil....Sometimes I have to eat Garlic all night..I mean from 7 pm until I go to bed..it is like an addiction, I just can not stop.. Seriously, does anybody else have those cravings and what could that mean? This is not a joke..(thank do, my husband really doesn't care about the smell)

Well I do love garlic... I cook with it all the time & mince it or chop it finely and put it in marinades, etc. It's good for you so why not use it all the time? Only drawback? You smell like a big garlic - it seems to stay in the blood stream?

I haven't overdosed on garlic yet. But I do crave basil. I don't mind using a sprinkle or two of garlic salt or garlic powder and black pepper. It tastes nice on pasta or bread. Very nice.
