When I go to the green grocer I always snap ginger off. I have never wanted an entire root of it nor would I use it all in the week, so I snap it off. It occurred to me that I have never seen anybody else do this. I assume it's ok... isn't it? I mean I have never been reprimanded or publicly shamed, so I think it's ok. Right?
A few weeks back when I put ginger on my standing order from my fruit-and-veg farmer I assumed he too would just snap it off, but ohhh no I get an entire root. As soon as I opened the box I thought, "That will last me! Better cancel next week's"
I love ginger. But seeing as I am terribly unorganised and I keep forgetting to cancel my order, every Friday morning it dawns on me when I wake up "Ginger! I forgot to cancel the ginger." It has become a running joke. I have used it everywhere - in my tea, in stir fries, curries, I still only use three thumb sized bits a week.
I have given it away I ate so much of it whilst I was ill, but I still have at least a half a kilo. But I'm finding inspiration in the everyday, thanks Pia!
