Roasted garlic is AWESOME!
If you don't feel like heating up the house, you can also roast some on the BBQ. Just lop off the very top of the head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, pierce the foil with a fork, and put it in an indirect heating area of the BBQ for about 45 min to an hour. Comes out just like it would from the oven (unless you have it in too hot of a spot - it burns).
Try doing a couple of heads the next time you slow cook a tri-tip. I slather about a clove onto each slice and wash it down with a Cabernet or Zinfandel. Un-freaking-believable.
