Try turmeric.

I can hardly stock enough of it. Jeannie also takes that and it comes
highly recommended by a lot of folks. Wiki has an excellent article on
some of the uses and research involving turmeric.

I do have two large containers of different curries, so I suppose I could do that, but while I like curry, I can't imagine taking it every day.

It would be great to grow it. I checked and I see that it might be possible here. It's tropical, so I might have to take special precautions, but it might be possible.

That page suggests that the gingers can be grown in Houston, and seeing that it is the ginger family gives me a bit of hope, because I have kept a ginger plant alive in a large pot here, but only in the greenhouse.
I think it would be worth a try, especially if global warming continues it's trend<g>.

expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
