words:

I bought and forgot that I had bought some ginger before
Christmas.

Madhur Jaffrey recommended keeping root ginger in a pot of moist
compost,
to keep it fresh.

I keep any ginger that I can't use immediately in a jar of sherry in
the fridge - works well as I can then use both the remaining ginger
and the flavoured sherry in cooking later on..
