i just got fuckin food poisoning from Alex Pizza. I think. In a serious serial barf-mode. Poor Zarf had to listen twice, and then I made him get me from stomachey things I remembered from last year's poisoning, back when I had a health care plan with a dial-a-nurse option. (That was from some cheapie Thai place, I can't even remember which now.)

Wish me luck.

If you really want (and while you're sick, you probably don't have the energy) I have a recipe for making actual ginger soda out of actual ginger. Not that it's complicated -- chop up ginger root and boil it in sugar water for a while. With cloves. Refrigerate, then add to seltzer and drink.

(2 inches of ginger root, diced. 400 grams sugar. Lime or lemon juice. A couple of cloves. Add 2 liters boiling water, stir, let cool. Add one drop of almond extract. When you use it, let the ginger bits sit at the bottom of the bucket; they're tough.)

We do something like that, except that we add it to tonic water (lemon and lime already added). We have tried to add cloves but had never thought of the almond extract. I will have to make sure my husband, the cook, see this.

I just go for ginger tea, myself. Same idea: chop up a bit of ginger, toss it in a teacup with hot water, start sipping. It's nice and fresh and you can keep adding hot water for two or three cups' worth.
