Do you guys know what ginger is? It’s a bumpy brown root that’s spicy and used to cook all sorts of things.

Some people eat pickled ginger with their sushi. Some others drink it in their ginger ale or eat it in their ginger snaps. Ginger is everywhere. You can buy it at the grocery store.

I like to put ginger in my juicer and use the juice to make a spicy drink. Before I juice the ginger, I have to peel it, which is tricky, since the ginger is so bumpy.

The other day, I was peeling a piece of ginger and noticed, to my shock and amazement that it didn’t look like ginger at all. Instead, it looked like…

A TURTLE!

I was amazed. I didn’t know if it was an actual miracle, but it certainly felt like one. I loved my ginger turtle, and was torn. Would I turn him into juice or would I raise him as my own?

As I publish this post, I’m still trying to decide.
