        Same. Too much ginger is not a good flavour imo. -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 07:34
        
        that's great, and keeping it in the freezer is great for this, because it doesn't get soft like it does in the fridge if you don't use it quickly. -- nm - Andie Jun 21, 07:33 1
        
        I hadn't thought of the freezer before. Perhaps I will try that if I find a root in the right shape for me :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 07:34
        
        You don't cook asian meals, clearly. -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 07:29 1
        
        Nope. Only if it's in a bag, or it's thrown-together pork or chicken fried rice. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 21, 07:32

Amazon.ca PSA: Harry Potter Year 1-6 Blu-ray giftset for $55.99. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 21, 06:31 11
- Great price. I just bought the ultimate editions for 1 and 2 last week, though, so it's of no use to me. - Jelly Jun 21, 06:58
- I don't get why anyone would buy a 6-disc movie set, when you know there's 2 more coming? -- nm - Jim Jun 21, 06:33 9
  - Coming out in like 3 years maybe. When's the release date for part 1 of DH? -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 06:44 4
    - This Nov, then July for the next one. - Reagen Jun 21, 06:47 3
      - Ah. But at less than $10 per movie, you still can't go wrong, if you actually like them. -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 06:49 2
        
        yup and then just pick up the new ones upon release when the prices are decent -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 07:06 1
        
        And afaik, the box asrt hasn't changed for any of the movies, so it's possible that the new ones will match anyway. -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 07:16
  - this is what I wondered about Die Hard when #4 was about to come out -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 06:34 3
    - It worked out a lot cheaper for me to buy the Die Hard 3 movie set for $20 and then pick up the fourth separately. -- nm - Roger More Jun 21, 06:38
    - We've been buying the Potters 1 at a time, which is fine. But if I want a box set, I'm gonna wait for all 8 movies, so they're all the same and stuff -- nm - Jim Jun 21, 06:35 1
      - exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 06:35

  - wow - Danedukenuuk Jun 21, 06:28 7
    - It's merely an average movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 07:08 3
      - yes, if I weren't biased in favor of all things Holmesian, it would have earned more of a B/B+ from me. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 07:26 2
        
        So....below average? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 07:29 1
        
        quiet, you. I gave it 4/5. If I wasn't Holmes-inclined, I would have given it 3/5. *Especially* if you factor in the extreme download time from XBL. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 07:31
    - It's not horrible, but it's not very good. It's watchable once, though. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 21, 06:30 2
      - I gave it an A. Not an A+, which is what I would have normally been biased into giving it (being a huge Holmes fan, I was a bit disappointed) - Beryllium Jun 21, 06:32
