In using the word 'overspiced', you can only be referring to the additional garlic I recommend. Keep
in mind, garlic is not a spice, it's a vegetable. You should eat lots of vegetables and less of
whatever got you the man-boobs.

It is also a strong antioxidant with lots of beneficial properties. I
buy it fresh by the bag..

Try this:

1. Cut the top off each head of garlic, exposing the cloves within.

2. Place the garlic heads in the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt
and pepper.

3. Pour in about 1 1/2 tablespoons water for each head of garlic. (Option: You can also use white
wine, for a winey-infused garlic.)

4. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid.

5. Microwave on 50% power in periods of 3 minutes.

6. Check the garlic after each 3-minute period, poking it with a fork to see how tender the garlic
cloves are. (Be careful when removing the lid, as hot steam will billow out.)

7. Continue microwaving. After 6 minutes have elapsed, cook in increments of 1 minute each, until
the garlic is very soft and can be pierced easily with a fork. Squeeze garlic out of the cloves and
use in a recipe. Or turbo-boost your garlic by giving it a quick roast!

The garlic cloves will squeeze right out. This is a great way to make garlic mashed potatoes.
