Foray into Garlic-free Foods

Today I decided to start this blog, after enduring blisters in my mouth and on my tongue.  It has made it hard to endure dining the past few meals.  If I have the tiniest scratch in my mouth from eating toast or whatever, it now seems even the minutest bit of garlic seasoning makes the normally insignificant sore swell up and the rest of my mouth freaks out all over just to join the party.

Great.

Garlic, go figure.

So how to best eat going forward?  

Cooking my own foods, or at least assembling meals from pre-cooked groceries is the best forseeable option.

Of note:

I found some terrific foods without garlic which normally have garlic in them, in the grocery store while foraging through the aisles for lunch today; here's the list:

SALSAS

Herdez Salsa Verde

Herdez Salsa Casera Mild

Then, I just got a can of garbanzo beans, scooped out about half and rinsed them, added them to a cup of minute rice which I cooked in the microwave, added some garlic-free salsa verde, and a pat of butter, and voila!  Complete protein, not too spicy and satisfying.  Only thing was I wish I'd had a bit of avocado.
