I suspect I needed a stronger onion. But cloves would certainly make their presence known, unlike that Vidalia onion I sacrificed to the vinegar.

My granny used to tuck cloves behind her woodwork to keep ants away.

btw, I love your comparison of your deli to Seinfeld's soup nazi. I love that soup nazi thing like I love that "cheeburga, cheeburga, Pepsi, no Coke" from the very old SNL days. (The days when SNL was pretty consistently funny.)

Boomer, yes, cloves ARE powerful! We made clove-studded lemons in Girl Scouts, so we could give them as gifts. The recipient was supposed to hang it in the closet to keep the clothes fresh. I didn't know that cloves keep ants away. Might be worth a try now that ant season is here. Maybe they also work to deter moths? Maybe that's why every GS troop made clove lemons? :dontknow:

I also loved SNL in the early days! No Coke! Pepsi! LOL
Too bad you sacrificed your Vidalia to the recipe. Live & Learn. :'(
