Small delights of marital life

I am going to tell you a homely intimacy. The doctor belongs to a very large .

I do not speak of 3 brothers, believe me that it is very numerous. When he leaves the house, it is usual for me to complete the pantry: I brought milk, the coconut yogurt is missing, bring some onions on the way back.

He believes that I do it only to bother. I suspect it is possible. And I'm still asking .

The first time in my life that I asked for something, recently known.

"Bring me tuna," I said.

And brought me a can of tuna. Of a kilo .

A kilo of tuna! What do I do with a kilo of tuna ?

I don't even know where he got such a big can, never seen anything like that.

The point is that, if I am not explicit with the amount of product that I request, the doctor brings me food for an infantry regiment. Thing that I adduce your large family.

I take great care with this, because I have had to throw food, give food and make force. Better to prevent cure.

Every so often, I forget the subject. Or it seems obvious to me and I do not do it.

Yesterday he arrived complaining about the expensive that had cost my order. Immediately, I suspected. And I was not wrong.

ginger root for the size of my arm. This is what I found out on how to keep it.

How to keep ginger

Dry ginger

One of the possibilities is to dry the ginger. This is the most durable (up to 2 years). To do so you have:

1) Wash the root well.

2) Peel it (I never take off the shell, so I wouldn't peel it)

3) Cut it into slices , with a sharp knife or with a pelapapas.

4) Put it in a dehydrator about 3-4 hours or in a tray in the sun , between 3 and 7 days, depending on the climate of the city and moisture. If you opt for the latter, it is best to enter the night trays, so that they do not "hydrate" the dew.

5) Then keep in hermetic or paper bags.

freezing ginger: the one I prefer

The other possibility is to freeze the ginger. I used this because I like fresh ginger more than dry. The steps are:

1) Wash the ginger.

2) Cut it into slices , it is best to be of different size, and then choose when using.

3) Put in a bag and freezer .

Another advantage of this method is that ginger is very easy to grate when it is frozen (I didn't know!). It also defrosts very fast, in about 10-15 min. at room temperature. In the end, thanks to one of the doctor's exaggerations I come to decide that I had to have the ginger there, making him old in the refrigerator, he can do the Walt Disney .

*I dedicate the post, of course, to my army of brothers -in -law. I suspect that this story is repeated on several continents.

Paulina, the story you tell made me remember something that I heard when I was a boy: Alexander the Great told one of his generals to ask him what he wanted and he asked him for a city to govern and spend his days. Alejandro granted him five cities !! ... when the general told him that he had asked one, Alejandro replied: "You ask me as who you are, I give you as who I am." I fear that this is what happens to the doctor, regardless of how many his family is ... .. he gives you as who is …… ..
