Rosemary Crostini with Roasted Garlic and Marinated Tomatoes. Yummm…
Apr 3rd, 2007 by msdanielle
All of my good friends know two things about me, if anything, and those things are 1. I LOVE food and 2. I LOVE music. There are very few things in life that bring me more happiness than sitting down to a memorable meal, or dancing my ass off to my favorite house beats.
Knowing this first point well, my good friend Jim bought me this adorably entertaining Roasted Garlic Express. I don’t know where he got it, but I give him much props! It’s this mini roasting appliance shaped like a big garlic bulb. It’s the most awesome thing I’ve seen ever – and it’s mine!
I wanted to try it out immediately and see how stinky I could make my house, so I ran over to my local Trader Joe’s and picked up a rosemary demi-loaf and a package of fire-roasted tomatoes. Oh, it got stinky alright. But in the good way. Roasting the garlic was super easy, too. You just slice the top of the garlic off, stick it in the roaster with some olive oil, plug it in, and push “On.” 27 minutes later, it’s done! Just spread the soft garlic cloves on the toasted bread, throw on a tomato or two, and voila!
I always wanted to make roasted garlic at home, but it always seemed so messy. And if I was going to invest 45 minutes of my life waiting for roasted garlic, I was going to make a lot. This way, I save time, and I can make them one at a time if I want. If you love garlic, you should get this thing. It’s novel, functional, and easy!

I love garlic. Don’t let the myths fool you. It has no effect on vampires.
I would brush your teeth before you partake in your second favorite, dancing. Don’t think the fellow club goers would enjoy the garlic as much as you did.
hahahaha!! wow you all love garlic too huh? seriously, this machine kicks butt! my best friend saw it and was cracking up!! but natron, two things i wouldn’t eat before going out — roasted garlic, and korean bbq! those nights are definitely blockbuster nights!
