The 31st Annual Va. Wine & Garlic Festival is next weekend, Oct. 14-15, at Rebec Vineyards in Amherst County. I'm going and hope to see you. Look for my Garlic Gal Pickled Garlic in the winery. We'll have a stinking good time!

Rebec Vineyards liked the cover of our cookbook that vineyard owner Svetlozar Kanev asked to use the design for the page for this year's Virginia Wine and Garlic Festival Oct. 8-9. I hope to run into you there.

Yum. Fresh blueberries in these muffins.

They're back! Blueberry Muffins this week from fresh local berries. Get yours from me at the Catawba Valley Farmers Market on Thursday 3-6:30 or Salem Farmers Market Saturday 8-11.

Life is more than garlic. It's also about fresh, locally grown fruit and vegetables, meats and just-baked blueberry muffins at the Catawba Valley Farmers Market and the Salem Farmers Market. (There's local garlic for sale there, too.)

It's national Blueberry Muffin Day, so get yours from Meg, The Cookie Lady, at the Catawba Valley Farmers Market. I'll be there from 4-7 today. Blueberries were picked in Craig County at Woodalls Blueberry Farm. www.catawbafarmersmarket.com

I have pickled garlic for sale at the Salem Farmers Market on Saturdays, from about 8:30 a.m. to noon. It is back by popular demand! Look for my sign, The Cookie Lady. (Meg Hibbert)

So you think garlic is stinky? After peeling it, rub your hands along a stainless steel spoon under cold running water. The odor really is neutralized. For garlic breath, eat leafy greens, such as leaf lettuce from Halls Gardens at the Catawba Valley Farmers Market, kale or parsley - or just hang out with other garlic lovers.
