I've never tried to make candied ginger...I try not to eat it much (we call it 'programmer crack' at work!!) so I buy a small bag just every so often!!

I love the smell of coffee. I love the results of coffee...I don't love coffee either. Some is very bitter and yuck. Lattes are my fav cause they're actually tasty (tho not exactly coffee). This, too, is an acquired taste...and some tastes aren't worth the effort to acquire!

The key is to put so much cream, sugar, and other flavor in that it doesn't remotely taste like coffee.  Which is why I just stick to coke for my caffeine fix.  I'm sure it winds up having fewer calories as well.  

LOL! I totally was doing that. I was putting creamer and sweetener...and then I had to quit caffeine for a while cause I got an ulcer. Do you know it was the only thing I changed and I lost weight?! I realized how many calories I was putting in that coffee! LOL

Actually, Fry’s has excellent candied ginger.

I love candied ginger!!

I’ll grab some from Fry’s and bring it to retreat. 
 

Ladies, Retreat is only 16 days away!!! I’m so excited.
