dickens

Fresh ginger. No, not like the stuff in the store. Fresh! 2 foot worth of leaf stalk still attached! Teeny little buds of ginger root, the skin is mostly still yellow not brown.

It was more expensive than I expected ($10 for what will probably be ~4 oz, not my most frugal decision of the week) but I couldn't resist the opportunity to try some. I just came home with fewer other vegetables than I otherwise would have.

The leaves smell of ginger too, though in a quick google search I couldn't find any evidence they're edible. Anyone with experience or better Google-foo than me?

I have many plans for ths stuff. I'll report back :)

ETA: It is closer to 8 or 9 oz, that seems slightly less outrageous.
