You know what i think is really interesting is cardamom. i've become acquainted with it through my love of Indian food. it has a fascinating flavor - and one not for the faint of palate!

Foxy Lady: i'm not sure whether i've ever had *fresh* ginger, Ma'am. i have had the sort of shaved stuff that you get a pile of with your sushi. i thought i'd heard it's good for you...but i just don't like it.

as for bok choy, there's bok choy and there's baby bok choy (as i'm learning from this gourmetsleuth.com site i've just discovered)...

...but much more than that *i* can't tell You...

Foxy Lady: i bet it is, Ma'am. as much because You say so as for any other reason. :)

i may not eat much fresh ginger (though i do get a couple of sticks of it on top of my Indian dishes, and i do eat that), but one thing i've been doing a lot lately is gobbling up the lemon wedges that i'm served with fish and seafood and tea and stuff. i know fresh lemon is good for me. i've developed a taste for pure unsweetened sour cherry juice too, which i think is also very good for me. yum!
