    Oh my goodness. Look what you've done! I'm a garlic lover (i've been called a "fanatic"), and this one's gonna knock my socks off, I can tell. The winds just started blowing too, and on a sunny but fridgid cold autumn day, nothing sounds better than warm soup!

    This sounds incredible! You certainly won't catch a cold, because no one will want to come near you after eating it ... ~laughs~ Cannot wait to try this out.
