Last night, I had a big plate of Thai Hoi Tord (fried mussels with eggs and
stuff on a bed of Mung bean sprouts). As usual, Jun made me a bowl of
never-twice-the-same hot dipping sauce to go with it. 'Clean Plate Club' at
work!

Bad heartburn a couple of hours later. This morning she told me that
turmeric is good for settling the stomach. I just put 1/2 tsp in my cup of
Vodka and coffee. Acceptable flavor. Anyone have any experience with
turmeric? Thanks.

I take it three times a day for psoriasis. It seems to help. I take it in
capsule form. I don't like the taste of it.

Even though finely powdered and well mixed, a lot settles to the bottom of
the cup. Going for my third cup and there's still some there!

not with that but even though it sounds counter intuitive, when you first
get the heart burn if you can swallow one tlbs of vinager it will stop the
burn in about three minutes, Lee

Thanks, Lee. A friend of mine suggested that several years ago. I tried it.
It worked. Lemon juice would probably work, too. I'll pass! ;-)

i use it rather than a pill, and if you need to you can dilute it in warm
water, works just not as fast, Lee

LOL - not in vodka and coffee, my imagination can't get round that
one! But turmeric is a powerful antioxidant, especially when
accompanied by some ground black pepper. Maybe in a bloody Mary? I
guess it's perfectly possible that there's some chemical fraction that
dissolves in alcohol that those of us who simply cook with it are
missing out on...

Alan mentioned the ground black pepper, too. I'm wondering how much of
each. The problem with Bloody Marys is I have to refill them too fast! ;-)

It's absolutely standard in an Indian curry - anything up to a Tbs of
turmeric, and maybe a tsp of FGBP, unless you're using the pepper for
heat rather than spice - in which case, to taste!

Thanks, Nicky. It will be a Thai curry with coconut cream and Thai chiles.

The colour will be a bit scary except in a yellow curry - but I often
add it when I make a Thai curry.
