I do the same with garlic. Usually two or three times of what the recipe says.

There is not a single reason in the world not to do so.

    I do that! Recipes say "add one clove of garlic" I do at least 5. I swear recipes are written by vampires

    I do the same because I love garlic too .... unfortunately, this past winter, I discovered there is an upper limit to this 'one neat trick' ..... an entire head of raw garlic on a piece of toast is enough to wish you could physically remove your colon from own body for a few hours.

    It is impossible to have enough onion.

    I’m always a bit sad when I caramelize a huge pan of onions for an hour and end up with a couple spoonfuls.

    There's actually a better way to get more garlic flavor into your dishes without adding more. The secret is to add the garlic at the last possible moment in the cooking process to reduce the garlic oxidation. The more it oxidizes the less flavor it has. It oxidizes the second you break the cell walls so waiting until the end of possible helps retain the flavor and make it more potent!

    I might be an outlier here, but I absolutely think there is such a thing as too much cheese. My partner and I have regular disagreements about how much should be put on a pizza when we're making one at home.

    Recipe: Add 1/4 cup of cheese.
    Me: Adding 1 cup of cheese got it.

    Oh, there is DEFINITELY a point where too much cheese becomes a mistake. Somewhere around 400%, I think. I felt sick for days…

    It's a curse. All my pasta dishes join the Mac and cheese family.

    Seriously. I sorta watched Netflix's You are what you eat documentary. If you haven't watched it, it's basically veganism propaganda, in my opinion. The point is some expert says something like "OMG, cheese is actually addictive!". It just baffled me. Like, what's the damn problem with cheese being addictive? If it is at all, it is addictive for me and it will be like that my whole life, because I feel empty if I don't include cheese in my diet... So, fuck yeah!

    As someone that had to stop themselves from eating an entire tub of jalapeno pimento cheese with cheddar cheese Doritos earlier today, I can confirm.

    This was my motto for life, but now I'm lactose intolerant. Life is less... cheesy now :(

    Lactaid was a miracle worker for me. I wasn't super intolerant. Milk was OK but cheese and ice cream would fuck me up. I have since... Grown out of it I guess? Pretty much everything is fine but a full slice of cheesecake might have me dying 20 minutes later.

    Either way, eating cheese is worth risking intense gas pain and explosive shits.

    Who needs the leftover quarter bag of shredded cheese anyway.

    I do the same with anything that comes in a can. I'm not going to use a tenth of a tomato paste tomorrow. It goes in today.

    Good recipes take that into account.

    I added too much to a queso sauce once and then it hardened into a gooey block
