Help, I'm Out of Garlic! (and a useful link)

I'm more likely to run out of clean socks than fresh garlic, but alas, emergencies do happen. Three heads of garlic would get most families through a week. However, I roasted two of them for a steak pan sauce last Saturday, and the side dish was sauteed arugala with...you guessed it, garlic. I was down to a few cloves which quickly got used earlier in the week.

So I found myself out of fresh garlic that the roasted zucchini with fresh herbs called for, and had to substitute garlic powder. This is by no means my preferred option under any circumstances, so Dr. Debs needn't apologize for using fresh garlic with my risotto recipe he paired with a grenache blanc.

I don't make this substitution very often, so thought I'd see what I could find on the web for guidance. I quickly found this very comprehensive list of Food Equivalents, that offers a wealth of handy info in addition to what I was looking for--1/8 tsp of garlic powder with a bit of salt substitutes for 1 tsp of fresh garlic.

Fresh garlic--or fresh anything--is better, but this is a handy link for emergencies that arise!
