Garlic
Hey hipsters! It's said that every cook has a particular ingredient that she uses to death. Mine happens to be garlic; I love the stuff and shove it in every dish I possibly can. The problem? Every time I prepare it (read: mince it, since that's what I usually do to it), my hands smell like garlic for DAYS afterwards!! No matter how many times I wash my hands, and no matter how strongly scented the soap I use is, it remains, subtle though it may be - I generally only notice it when I sniff my hand to see if it still smells, lol.
Has anyone else had this problem? How do you get rid of the smell??
(I'm not looking for "just don't touch it when you're mincing it!" suggestions... I've tried that, but although my knife is plenty sharp, it gets all over my cutting board and I can't cut it, which is pretty counterproductive. I have to hold the clove in place with my left hand until I'm done cutting in one direction.)
Thanks :)
