one being to learn how to cook. This will promote a healthier life style for one and save money on eating out. So i gathered some receipes and and bought spices and things i had never heard of before and well who knew that grated ginger root did not come already grated?? I was looking for it at the bulk barn. needless to say i felt like a tool when i was told you have to buy the root and grate it yourself with a cheese grater thingy!
