Lemon Grass Experiment


I would love to have a lemon grass plant at home. I am sticking a stalk of it (yes, leafless and rootless) into water and keeping my fingers crossed :) Let's see if we get some roots in a few days...
Other plants I'd love to grow at home: kaffir lime, coriander, torch ginger. Hmm, how do I get started without a "mother plant" to begin with? Advice, anyone?
On a different note, could somebody point me to TRIED and TRUE recipes for mee goreng, mee rebus and mee siam (the soupy type) please? The few that I have tried yielded disappointing results. Thank you.
And by the way, any of my readers live near northern France? I'd love to meet up.

Really? Will that work? If yes, I want to try it too!

Where are you exactly in France? I used to live in Nantes but now I have moved to Clermont-Ferrand - more central of France.

Conclusion: It didnt work - the lemon grass started rotting after a few days. Darn.
