This is what garlic is supposed to look like




My kids brought this garlic from the organic farmers market in Lexington.  It's remarkable how it in no way resembles the bleached-out white kind we get at the grocery.

I can't wait to use it but wanted to draw it first. I'm afraid my sad attempt at painting didn't do it justice - the colors in it are so subtle and varied. Quite beautiful.

I wonder if it will taste as good as it looks. I almost hate to spoil it. Maybe it could just live on the windowsill, like a little sculpture.
