young and simple

these were spring garlic cloves from a friend. i tried halving a number of other garlics for this photo, but the older and larger heads ended up looking convoluted and brain-like. eventually i gave up trying to compose them and went with the simplicity and easy geometry of these slender young cloves with their delicate purple segment lines. next up, according to my husband, is aigo boulido, or garlic soup. he’ll have some convincing to do.
