There is no way I could make this up...

     With the Loin Fruits off to work my Lobster and I attended the Comox Valley Garlic Festival north of town. A small venue, cramped parking, a large number of garlic vendors and a couple of food trucks. I really didn't know that there were so many kinds of garlic. Of course, we had to get some for Chef Blaine to try out.

     Now, inside the hall was even more vendors. 40 Knots winery had a table as well as a local distiller flogging garlic infused vodka and a local gin. Amazing!
When we were leaving my Better Half equated the event to the Grady Squash Festival from the movie Doc Hollywood. As an example of how Backwoods this event is I would like you to refer to my previous post where I wrote about Limmer hairs. Inside the hall was a sign saying Denman Island blackberry pies for sale. Either whole or by the slice.Mmm, a blackberry pie sounds pretty yummy. Then I looked at the seller. My Lord! One side of her head was shaved short the other side was long. No big deal. The hairs on her chin was the opposite with the left side trimmed short and the right side was braided long with beads strung on it.

     "Would you like some pie?"

     "Nope." I'm kinda allergic to muskrat whiskers.
