I found a nearly-dead plant at the supermarket, and it was labeled, "Asian Herb." I felt sad for it, rejected and ready to be tossed, so I brought it home. It's not an herb that's used in Japanese cooking, but I snipped little pieces of it and put it in my salad. I trimmed off all the really dead parts, gave it a little water and put it in my window sill. The next morning -- surprise! it looks like it's going to live a little longer!
