My wife made it once, using lemongrass, which we grow lots of in the summer, but we never have enough freezer space for lots of lemongrass, in the winter. I’m not sure if she boiled the lemongrass 1st and then removed it, or not. In many recipes she just leaves a bundle in - like the egg drop soup she made yesterday: I just dumped some rice in after the fact. Sometimes I add a little left-over or pre-cooked chicken. :-)

Either way, the lemon-rice soup is good stuff. Snow, more wind, and colder (highs in the teens) are due next weekend. I suspect I could stand some more about then...

The You-Tubers are going nuts. At present that weekend snow looks to be about 5” of pretty dry snow — no big problem, but you’d think we’re gonna be Kamchatka. Or Buffalo. ;-)

The biggest problem is likely to be water for the chickens - the heater for it doesn’t keep up @ temps under 12 deg. F or so, depending on the wind. So, I’ll probably have to keep taking warm water out for them.
