My doc says to boil ginger and add honey for coughs, and the mid wife in the family makes ginger compresses for to soothe and heal "that" area after birthing. Handy stuff!

I'll be trying it too. I think I even have some in the kitchen. I like the part about your name changing period-one of my girls was so determined to change her name to Cotton Candy-that her doc even changed it on her file : ) Ginger-hmmm. I’ll be trying it too.

It is pictured in a post from 2008. My mom has an old one that she adores but it needs to be updated. Please tell me where you got your garden stake? It is pictured in a post from 2008.

And thanks for the French word for ginger - <em>gingembre</em>. I've been making it twice a day since I got it...mmm. <b>RazorFamilyFarms</b>, Lacy, I wonder what the little yellow sticks could be? Let me know if you find out! <b>e-Mom</b>, I love the ginger ale, too, when I have a tummy ache. I don't know how I came up with the name as a child, because we didn't have TV and I had never seen Gilligan's Island until I was little older. If I could just have the properties of ginger, I would be a very blessed girl, indeed. I'm hoping it was a prophetic choice. :-) Kristin, thank you for the story of ginger tea in the truck/house, what an image I received! And thanks for the French word for ginger - gingembre.

Not only in cooking (in Asian dishes) but for health reasons. I keep ginger capsules on hand for nausea (sea sickness) and general stomach upset. And I swear by Canada Dry ginger ale when I'm sick. Never really wanted to be called Ginger though, lol, perhaps because of the air-headedness of Ginger on Gilligan's Island? A wonderful "rhizome"... :~D I love ginger too!

But there is a basket of little sticks with yellow innards which the locals make tea from and swear that the tea cure hypertension and other ailments. I've yet to try it and your post makes me think I should try it at least once before we move away. Our small town grocery store doesn’t carry ginger, I fear.

What a lovely story! I love the playfulness and the educational-ness! During our last wine-harvest, I joined my sister-in-law and her friends in the former's truck (read: home on wheels). Inside the decked out dorm, they were busy brewing up ginger and lemon tea. I knocked the breath right out of me and I ran to the store to buy some gingembre. It always tastes better with friends!
