I hated ginger until I went on that Fire Island Cleanse in June. Now I actually like it, especially in Thai stews with coconut milk. Yum! Methinks I'd like to try that ginger ice cream. :)

Glad you're having a good time!

Ginger is often used in Mauritian-Chinese cuisines too, my mum usually likes to cook it with chicken, the tradition says that it's supposed to boost your system!
