Photo Friday: Going Bonkers at the Gilroy Garlic Festival!

The Gilroy Garlic Festival — Garlic Man to the Rescue!

As soon as we heard about this festival, we knew we had to go. I like garlic. Sona likes garlic. And that’s pretty much all there is t it. Since we were already married, having stinky garlic breath was also not a hindrance. We had major plans to stink it up. And boy did we ever. I skipped the pseudo garlic stuff, like onion rings that have been mildly rubbed with garlic, and went straight for things like garlic fries, garlic ice cream, pungent garlic flavored prawns. Sona wouldn’t go near them because they reminded her of insects (as do many things), but they were delicious!

How is your Friday going?

Four years ago at this time, our then 6yo talked (yes, in #TimesSquare) about what she wanted to see in the American president — and kindness and humanity were her top requirements. She can’t #vote yet, so if you can, please do. #Vote for her and all the other kids who should be able to live in a United States that values, protects and treasures them as the future of America. Because kids like Kavya do understand what’s happening now, and how much it impacts what their world will look like.
