I would use lots of fresh garlic. It would taste better. ;)

That is so True!  But if you can't keep fresh Garlic. Powdered Garlic is not bad at all.  Soreyes runs off to roast some Garlic for the Meatloaf he is going to make Wedrnsday Night ;D

Sure you can keep fresh garlic, in the 'fridge.  It'll keep for a couple of weeks at least.  Use fresh garlic and onions.  They beat the pants off the powders and prepackaged minced, chopped, etc.  In fact, using a food processor or blender even changes the taste... for the worse in my opinion.
