Big Mama's Garlic Dip
Ingredients
16 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
3 to 4 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
A Splash of Milk
Garlic Powder, to taste
Directions
Combine cream cheese, minced garlic and a dash of garlic powder
together with a fork. Add a splash of milk and another dash of garlic
powder, with the fork mix together until cream cheese is broken into
small pieces. Add 3 tablespoons of mayo and another dash of garlic
powder, continue to stir with the fork until blended, if needed add
the other tablespoon of mayo to reduce the cream cheese taste. Taste
for garlic flavor, if needed add more garlic powder. Chill for at

Cooking Tips:
By adding a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda in a large pot of beans
while soaking them, the 'flatulence' caused by the beans is kept to a
minimum
When soaking and cooking dry beans, do not add anything other than
fresh, cold water. Salt and acidic ingredients like tomatoes, citrus
juice, vinegar, wine, or mustard inhibit the absorption of liquid and
stop the softening process. Once the hardening agents are added, the
bean will not soften any further. Make sure to increase soaking and
cooking times when using hard water.
The American Dry Bean Board recommends to simply just taste to see if
your beans are done! After ¾ of the cooking time has elapsed, try a
taste test. Beans should be tender, but not mushy. Beans vary in
cooking time due to the age of the bean, size or type of the cooking
pot, cooking temperatures, and type of water, for instance; hard or
softened.
