When has 1 clove ever been a sufficient amount of garlic?

This screenshot from a gardening Facebook group has been on my phone for several years and I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to delete it. Apparently it comes from a British gardening book from the 80s. I know we all joke that the English are afraid of flavor, but I assure you, you are not prepared for this.

GARLIC

Until quite recently, scientists smiled at all the wonderful medicinal powers claimed for garlic, but recent research has shown that there is some truth in a few of the old wives' tales. Garlic, of course, has an important role in Continental but not in British cookery — it really isn't worth growing unless you are a fan.

Any well-drained spot will do. Buy a head of garlic from the greengrocer or supermarket and split it up into individual cloves. Plant them 2 in. deep and 6 in. apart in March. Apart from watering in dry weather there is nothing else to do until the foliage turns yellow in July or August. Lift the bulbs and allow to dry under cover, then store in a cool, frost-free place.

If you are a beginner with garlic, you must use it very sparingly or you will be put off for ever. Rub a wooden salad bowl with a clove before adding the ingredients. Rub the skin of poultry before roasting and then you can try dropping a whole unskinned clove into a casserole or stew, removing it before serving. If by then you have lost a little of your garlic fear, you can try using crushed (not chopped) garlic in meat etc. as the Continentals do.

Couple years ago the old Damian probably would’ve cut Duke’s arm off for that. Our little D has come so far 🥲

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

#tim “DO NOT LET THEM REVIVE ME I'LL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN PLEASE I'LL BE HUMILIATED MORE THAN I ALREADY AM”#danny “wait people are messing with the natural order of things and reviving the dead?”#damian “I MUST REVIVE DRAKE AND REMIND HIM OF THIS. I MUST.”#bruce “my son died i cannot let this stay as it is. also. condiment king? really? note to self retrain rr”

Condiment King always wanted to be taken seriously. Now though...now he's thinking he really shouldn't have wanted that.

Because one well-placed shot of ketchup made Red Robin slip.

Fall off the side of the building.

Drop his grapple.

And get impaled by a pipe on the ground.

...He...killed Red Robin?

He killed Red Robin.

Oh fuck he-

That, unfortunately, is about the time Robin catches him and things go black.

~~~~~~

Damian is deadset on ignoring Drake's wishes and dumping him into a Lazarus Pit, because there is no way, no possible way, he isn't reviving Drake to rub it in the man's face that he got killed by Condiment King.

Father's goal for trying to revive Drake is far more dramatic, but Damian's will aligns with his for the most part.

Now if only this upstart villain Phantom would stop getting in the way.

~~~~~~

Tim is trapped in the In-Between, which is apparently called the Infinite Realms, as a ghost.

He is tracking down another ghost he's heard tell of, a Phantom, and all but begging him to stop anyone from reviving his body.

Tim knows that if he's rezzed, no one, not a single fucking person, will ever let him live down that he got killed by the Condiment King.

#I actually don't even think Dan would have the No Fighting rule#Surely Dan understands the call to brawl#His rules are probably more along the lines of#Don't cause any property damage#Don't involve anyone who isn't enthusiastically up to thrown down#And for the love of cheeses DO NOT do anything that's gonna cause me legal headaches#(ie don't murder each other)#So yeh#The more generally lax Dan's rules are#The more it's gonna keep people gossipping about 'What did Draper do?'#Ooh! No Bats No Joker probably seems pretty reasonable to everyone#But I betchu Dan has exactly 1 really weird rule#Which is#NEVER mention Nasty Sauce#It is one of the only things that will get you promptly and violently ejected

Maaybe one of the rumors is he filled a bathroom sink with Nasty Sauce, THEN lost the fight

Dan opens a bar in Gotham and he has a rule, no bats and no Joker. He serves regular people, metas, and Rouges. He makes an acceptance to the rule for Red Hood after the vigilante rescued him from a mugger and he was a little in love with him. Jason suddenly has a new favorite bar mainly because he both likes the calming atmosphere and for some reason the place makes the pits quiet

DPxDC Prompt

Danny can and will eat things that no living being can, his ectoplasm can break down any non-ecto based materials and turn it into nutrients and energy.

Due to this he is immune to all poisons, which is great for Danny, what isn’t great is trying to explain that to some well meaning heroes who witnessed him some highly toxic alien fruit he found. He just wants to enjoy his new snack, the spicy sweet tang is addictive AND HE WISHES THEY’D STOP TAKING IT FROM HIM!

The Worst Branch in the Country

The GIW knows Amity Park is a huge fraud. The “most haunted city in the US”, really? They’ve been checking the place out for decades with nary a peep aside from that couple of crazy scientists that moved into town around twenty years prior.

Because of this, the town became a punishment duty. One of their agents causes trouble? They get put in time out and sent to work for a while in Amity Park. Let those idiots chase after pointless rumors while the actually competent agents work with the more important ghosts. The reports back from the town get barely more than a cursory glance before getting tossed in the shredder.

…Which really came back to bite them when ghosts did actually start to show up, and they didn’t realize until after the Amity Park branch had royally screwed up the situation.

Fuck, they really hope this doesn’t start a war.

Optional DPxDC addition: they call in the Justice League Dark for help with negotiation and taking down their rogue members

goosebumps as a concept are so funny ur brain is like "oh no we're threatened! quick! make us look bigger!" and your skin, that absolutely does not have the ability to do that, is like "absolutely. right away boss"

It’s so them ✨

I like to imagine that at least once during the clone wars someone sent a report to General Kenobi and a very tired Master Kenobi just graded it and sent it back.
