From last night's living alone 'win', to tonight's living alone 'fail'. When I ordered 0.3kg of ginger from Tesco online at 63p I just assumed it would be a normal sized lump...whoops! It's actually bigger than both my hands put together.Sooo....does anyone have any good fresh ginger recipes?? :)
apparently it freezes really well, and you can just grate it as needed!
ReplyDeletelashings of Ginger Beer!
ReplyDeleteYup, best thing to do with it is freeze it. :) It could be very handy making lemon and ginger and honey drinks for soothing over winter in front of the fire, in your jimjams :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! See the funny side hun NOT a fail :D ginger tea is rather yummy.....just grate a thumb nail size piece & add hot water :)
ReplyDeleteI ordered a packet of basmati rice the other wk.....I actually ordered a 5kg bag! Eeeek....it will take us all year to eat it!!!

wow that's a lot of ginger!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt freezes very well and you can grate it from frozen
ReplyDeleteAnd......if you have a piece that looks like it has a bud on it cut each side if it so your have a slice about an inch and put it in a pot with the bud just sticking out of the soil it will grow!
Fresh Ginger Tea is nice too - just steep a few slices of ginger in boiling water for about 5 minutes and pout into a nice cup and sip - very refreshing!

Good grief, never seen anything like it!
ReplyDeleteI freeze ginger and grate it straight from the freezer. Also means you don't have to peel it because the skin seems to stay on the outside of the grater.
ReplyDeleteoh, this always happens to me when i do online shops.. i have no idea what kg are so have ended up with about 2 big bags of fresh tomatoes....
ReplyDeleteginger tea?
grate and freeze some,
ReplyDeleteginger tea is amazing
and of course, ginger cake, stir fries, soups...
Last year I ordered some christmas crackers for from Tesco online & when they arrived they were the tiny crackers you get to put on the tree! They did look a bit silly when we put them on the table on Christmas day!
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping.

I've done that with bananas!!
ReplyDeleteginger tea, some in your bath, cake, biscuits :)
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
Ginger tea is especially amazing if you boil water with lots of grated ginger, lemon and honey - it's my cold/flu tonic for my whole family - lots of vitamin C, antioxidants and all kinds of good stuffs.
ReplyDeleteYou can also make your own chai lattes by boiling slices of ginger with clove and cardamon in milk with a bunch of tea bags for half an hour until it is all foamy and builders-brew strong.
And of course, it's essential for curries! x
Did not know you can freeze it, so not a bad thing in the end.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing just fine. Keep strong xxx
ReplyDeleteAs the others say freeze and grate! I'm useless at ordering the right amount of things when you have to guess a weight. I also love it when they make a mistake and send too much, i ordered 0.2kg carrots and ended up with 2.0 kg!
ReplyDeleteha ha thats a lot of ginger
ReplyDeleteGinger cut into small chunks and covered in dark chocolate is scrummy!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a fail, just very funny! Sort of thing which has happened to me many times x It should do you well throughout the coming months. Just store in the freezer. Ginger tea, Ginger Marmalade, Stir fry...and I just found this recipe and it looks good!

I always end up with tons of stuff I swear I never ordered when I shop for groceries online! Am sorry to say, I have never used fresh ginger, so no help at all! Can you freeze it??
