serve with a sprig of coriander...

we were given some giant lemongrass stalks from a friend's garden.. but we had no idea how to use it in cooking.. so mum decided that i can boil it up and put it in my bath..

it was strangely relaxing.. loved the lemony smell.. and the essential oils were quite nice on the skin.. just delicious..

except.. there were several fleeting moments while i'm soaking in the serenity.. i can't help but feeling like a piece of chicken in a lemongrass broth.. and keeping a keen eye on the door in case the cannibals bursts into my bathroom to chuck me on the spit fire..

think i should speak to someone abt these paranoid delusions..
