What - no garlic ice cream? It's quite the hit at the annual Garlic festival in Gilroy

Baking is definitely more difficult. It's a lot harder to cover up a mistake and it's easier to make them because everything is so precise. I'm a pretty good cook too. I just wish I had a better kitchen. No dishwasher kills motivation when you know you'll have to wash everything when you're done.

My only problem with that story was the person who hates garlic.
