Sometimes when I use ginger in cooking I'll take a few slices of what is
left over for myself :)
I'm one of those who is practically immune to hot, now. I get strange
looks when I order Thai food as hot as they can make it. Those little
Thai peppers they use are quite tasty. One waitress noticed the pepper
in my soup, and recommended I avoid it. She came back later and the
pepper was gone.
Did you eat that?
Yes ...
Her eyes got really wide.
most others.
