Work



Since I've been here, we've been harvesting and processing turmeric at least once a week. Turmeric, like ginger, is a magical root. It has to grow for at least a year before it's harvested. It is usually dried and made into powder and is one of the main ingredient in curry (it gives curry its yellow). I like to shred a piece of fresh turmeric and ginger root and make a spicy tea.












This is my friend (and roommate) Kopia cleaning turmeric.
