Problem: Article: Peel each head of garlic and separate all the cloves of garlic within each head. The amount of garlic powder you wish to make will depend on how many garlic cloves you use. Each head of garlic will have about 10 cloves; sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. For a smaller batch of garlic powder, use one head of garlic. For bigger batches, use more. You can use your fingers to peel away the skin on the clove, or crack open the skin with your knife. Simply place a clove on your cutting board, and lay your knife directly on top of the clove. Gently push on the knife and garlic clove to loosen and crack the skin around the clove. You don’t want to push down too hard on the clove, because you want to keep the clove whole, and in tact so you can slice it. Use your fingers to peel off the skin away. Use a knife to slice off the root ends of the cloves. These ends are tough, and not necessary for flavoring. Then use your sharp chef’s knife to thinly slice the cloves of garlic. Slice the garlic cloves about ¼” thin lengthwise, or even thinner if you like. When all the garlic cloves are sliced, place them on a baking sheet or a dehydrator sheet lined with parchment paper.
Summary: Separate the garlic cloves. Peel the garlic cloves. Thinly slice each clove.

Problem: Article: Poor eyesight is typically genetic. So if both of your parents wear glasses, it is reasonable to assume you'll need them eventually too. Keep this in mind as you consider whether or not you need glasses. Ask your family members how old they were when they first started wearing glasses. Think about whether or not your vision seems to have changed over the years. Do you have more trouble viewing specific things than you did in the past? This is a sign that you need glasses. Specifically consider whether you have trouble viewing things that are far away or that are up close, as these are the two biggest problems with eyesight that people typically have. The ultimate way to determine whether or not you need glasses is to get an official eye examination from a licensed optometrist. They will perform tests on your vision and on your eyes in general to determine if glasses are a necessity for you. An optometrist, in addition to whether or not you need glasses, will also be able to tell you if there are any medical problems with your eyes.
Summary:
Consider your family history. Consider your vision. Consult an optometrist.
