I've done the garlic once before, I can't remember when or what happened. In fact, it might have been last December (when I ovulated for the first time in over 3 years!), cos the memory isn't too old. The thread might have been too thin because it cut through the clove and I had to fish it out! I like garlic, just forgot to cook with it last night. Might make sure I get a good dose very shortly.
I'm pretty sure the smell is linked.
