I mostly freeze it so that if I am suddenly inspired to bake something
it will be there. If I grate it, it thaws instantly. Supermarkets and
shops are only open from 8:20 until 8 PM Mon-Sat. Which is a lot here,
considering they used also to be closed from 1 PM until 4 PM everyday.
But for some reason I seem to get the push to bake when it is
inconvenient to go. Plus the price of gas being over $7 a gallon makes
it inefficient to shop for one thing 9 km away.
