Candied Ginger

Though not posted here, Ginger Snaps promptly followed. What struck me about the recipe was how gripped I felt looking at sugar syrup recrystallizing.

Near perfect Semiya Upma, our lunch today. Followed this ingredient list but all cooking was done in a saute pan (unlike the five i might end up with according to the recipe) with two and half cups of water (again, unlike the advised seven!).
