I made the ginger water in the little house cookbook and I thought it was horrible! I am going to have to try again to see if maybe I like it better as an adult. I was 10 or so when I did it before... Well since the book is over now and I found this site half way through, nothing to do now but go back to the beginning!

And Pa was too sure that the wheat crop would come through. You definitely had some pretty strong hints of what was to come...

Was it easily accessible back then? What a treat, either way ;-) I also really love Pa's response to Ma when she asks if the work was too hard for Laura: "Oh, no! She's as stout as a little French horse. She's been a great help," said Pa. "It would have taken me all day to stack that hay alone, and now I have the whole afternoon for mowing." His confidence and appreciation of Laura has always been lovely too me and reminded me a bit of my own father :-) Sommer I too have wondered a bit where Ma got the ginger.

I am reading this to my children right now so I am very interested in your thoughts as you read through the chapters. I too have wondered where Ma got the ginger.
