I grew cilantro for salsa and let it go to seed. Damn it smells much more fragment than the dried out commercial shit I get.

Anyone else grow it?

I've only got about 20gr, since I only had 5 plants.

I grew cilantro years ago. After 2 seasons of letting some go to seed it was sprouting up everywhere.

Then I moved.

I agree that it smelled much more potent than anything I've purchased. I never got around to replanting.

Tried here, but
it went to xit.

We loves us
some cilantro.

Absolutely agree that fresh seeds
have a potency you won't get from store-bought.
'specially if they're on the green side.

Their viability for replanting
lasts years.

As does Liver's.

'Bout time
to send some
forth.

Hello,
Myfreepaysite.com

Coriander is nice, since 2003 I am gettin' it from only one reliable source, but I thought of plantin' it.

Our Cilantro never does that well here. Never has gone to seed.

I had no trouble
w/it in Indiana or
Pa, must be a
Southern thang.

I think it's just to hot a humid here. Even shade grown it doesn't flourish.

To hot a humid?

Apparently that's
wisdom tooth
trouble yer having.

I grew the hell out of it,
couldn't stop it
I'm on a campaign now;
kill all cilantro
I hate that stuff, but coriander ain't too bad.

Coriander is real good.

It must be so,
I'll light a candle on cilantro's grave when it dies.

"Apparently that's wisdom tooth trouble yer having."



Toof pain and tendonitis. . .

Tendinitis of the brain.

That too.

October 26:
My apple tree is blooming, is this some kind of sign?
I don't think I've seen this before. It's just one or two blooms, right next to leaves that are turning fall colors.

That's the first sign of the Apple-poppa-clypse.

That was really bad.

I am home delirious with with illness, hopped up on cold syrup, herbal tea, and brunswick stew, and I really don't remember typing that. or this.

Felt it coming on last night and tried to knock it out with some Prototype30 I found in the back of the cabinet. That didn't work.

Of course not. Serious illness requires quality absinthe. Hope you feel better soon.

Indeed™!

On both counts.

I have found only the Besançon to work as a tonic.

Any other absinthe only makes a cold worse.

Your dosage may vary.

Must be the Coriander.

Or the double load of wormwood.

That Besancon makes a great prophylactic, too, and
the L'Eddy is good for making you see double.

Cilantro is just about the nastiest shit on the planet.

L'Eddie is something different. I'm drinking some for breakfast, got it right here next to the keyboard.

Um, no
+
Um, yes.

I can't handle cilantro.

Can't have
Mexican food
w/out it.

You find the vile weed in Thai food as well, but it's not an essential ingredient. It's not in Mexican food either, although it does fuck up many a salsa.

me loves

Fuckity fuck, I have totally been craving a big, old, steaming, bowl of pho and all of the cilantro talk is just deepening my woe.

I like cilantro. Good in salsa verde too.

You're not mad at me, cuz I don't like it, are ya?

Try telling that to all the migrant workers here that are frequenting Mexican Restaurants run by (you guessed it) Mexicans. Hardly a word of English is spoken in th ones I go to. The servers don't speak English. Some of the dishes are rife with cilantro.

They have Mexican Coca Cola too, you know the real stuff with cane sugar instead of HFCS.

Kirkenstein,
We love you.

You too, Spucky,
just not as much
because we never
did the eye-to-eye.

It's cool Liver. I don't get to eye-to-eye many people. I'm kind of a recluse.

Maybe I'll get back down to FL some day.

Never can tell.

Taco - soft corn tortilla filled with fried Churizo and topped with diced tomato diced onion and chopped cilantro. Served with a wedge of lime.

Mmmmm....
I used to get those
from La Placita.

Mmmm, I love that place.

That's what I had for lunch Saturday.

Me too. I was craving some while trying to knock out that cold. Loaded it up w/ fresh cilantro and chilis. Something worked, though I can still feel it trying to come back (the cold, not the soup). I'm gonna start over tonight with the absinthe regimen.

I do notice sometimes a soapy taste in salsa that I optimistically attribute to cilantro, and not to actual soap residue.

A clean palate is
an alert palate.

"They have Mexican Coca Cola too, you know the real stuff with cane sugar instead of HFCS."

Yes, I do know. They got that part right. I buy Mexican orange soda whenever I can find it. Good stuff.

Cilantro is vile shit no matter how many Mexicans ask for it.

I seem to remember Fanta orange soda in Spain. Is that the same one they have in Mexico?
