Thank you, dcp. Your comment didn't load before.

I've just eaten the crystalized version like candy. I've not used the fresh stuff for nausea (just for palate cleansing after sushi), but I bet eating that would do as well.

Trader Joe's has some ginger chews that are very nice.

Cindy, I've found this tea really helpful for nausea; there are plenty of decent recipes for homemade ginger tea out there, but if no one has the energy . . . .

I wholeheartedly second the ginger chews for nausea. (I've used them, I mean, and they work like magic.) There's also ginger tea. And ginger ales are kind of sticky sweet and not ginger-y enough for me, but Reed's extra ginger beer (not alcoholic) is very nicely ginger-y.

Thank you, amyparker and Teppy. I remember ita talking about ginger beer.

Hec, thank you. I'm trying to keep it to things I can ship to my nephew. His whole household works outside the home, and they haven't been that Covid-careful. (I hope his oncologist drills it into their heads that they have to be, and that they can/do get vaccinated.)

Edit: thank you Matt, too. The posts aren't loading right for me, today, even when I refresh or reload.

You can slice fresh ginger and boil it in water make tea, but definitely order things for other people that they don't have to do any work for. Best thoughts to your nephew, Cindy.

BUT, she went back to work at the hospital for her healthcare coverage

That should be a crime. This fucking country.

Timelies all!

I think my brain is going to melt out of my ears with the stupidity of the stuff Mr. S is watching on tv.

He hasn't discovered Barney, has he?

We got lots of mileage out of Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, without our ears bleeding, but he still might be too young. From when K was too young, really, to when she was slightly too old.
