So basically, you are blending to chop up or liquify as much of the garlic as you can before straining?
Yes, and you should save that baby picture to be used as part of a slide presentation at her wedding reception. It just cracks me up!
I've tried this and was unable to strain. The tiny chunks of garlic just clogged up my strainer. I suppose if I could figure out a better way, I might try it again...maybe 
You know, GOOT is very forgiving. I've gotten to the point that I actually skip the straining step and just pour it into little babyfood jars to keep in the fridge. If I see any chunks, I just fish them out with a fork.
I figure if a remedy is just too complicated or cumbersome, you won't use it regularly, and you won't receive the benefits. I really appreciate simple, basic solutions because I feel like I can share those knowing that the results will encourage the user to continue with the remedy without being discouraged by the process.
Also, it takes a little patience with yourself. I sigh to think how much patience I have with my children and other people. Then I remember how much patience God has had with me

. Too often, I don't take the time to have patience with myself and allow for a time to learn things. I could have been learning, discovering and exploring when instead I sat and wallowed in my frustration.

Just shared that so if any of you are there, you'll be encouraged that it won't always be like trying to work without thumbs
