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.
