What efficient trick do you have to peel and mince garlic

I'll rip off a few bulbs from the head and use my palm to smash them with the flat end of my chef's knife. This cracks the peel and makes it easy to separate from the bulb. To mince, I'll hold the tip of the knife to the cutting board and rock the handle up and down, pausing every so often to slide the garlic that collects on the blade back onto the cutting board. I suppose I could just get a garlic press, but I kind of like doing it all with my knife.

That's how I do ut too

Same question but for ginger please.

I use a box grater. Yeah I should probably peel it first but I don't.

A light smash with the flat of my knife, then I run it on a z plane or grater to mince

Sweet nose, but then a hit of savory spice on the tongue with an insanely long finish that is all cigar.

I wouldn’t drink this with a cigar, because you wouldn’t notice it, but it’s insane how much that finish lingers and mimics the mouth tingle after smoking a cigar.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
