I will be sure to try regrowing pineapple and avocado in the tropical environs of the Northeast.

Actually, when I was a kid, my mom occasionally took an avocado pit and put it in a jar of water and it would start to grow. We could never plant it since the climate wasn't right, but it was cool anyway.

YMZ - I could never find galangal even in an Asian grocery store. I always just used ginger.

They don't usually have it fresh, but I get dried galangal from the local Laotian market.

I didn't see anything about bacon...

1. Get pig.

2. Let pig eat all leftover food scraps.

3. Repeat until pig gets to desired size.

4. Take pig to butcher and recieve bacon.

Yum!

There's an Asian grocer near me but I haven't been there yet. The one where I used to live didn't have it. It's kind of a moot point anyway, as I'm not a big ginger fan. A little goes a looooong way.
