Try this Ginger

I ain't gonna lie, I've got some stomach issues. And every time I'm at my parents house and I have an upset stomach, my dad's all, "Chew on some ginger." Like I'm going to get a hunk of ginger, peel it and naw on it. A. it's extremely strong B. it's extremely gross. Sometimes, I'll have ginger tea, and while it's not the most delicious, it definitely helps. Same goes for ginger ale.

So recently, I tried this stuff, Uncrystallized Candied Ginger:


The only ingredients are ginger and sugar, and it really works wonders. Plus, you don't have the high fructose corn syrup you find in ginger ale. It can be a little strong, but if you can handle the burn, ginger is great for any stomach ailment--especially nausea (shout out to pregnant mommies, Mooks. And baby Book--or Fook--what are we calling this kid?). So just pop a couple pieces next time you're about to bahf.

I also have a theory that Japanese restaurants serve ginger with sushi because it coats your stomach and allows it to handle the raw fish. But that's not proven, just my opinion.
