Thanks for sending that link - I am still curious about stevia, however, b/c I have a difficult time with other sugar substitutes (and sugar itself at times).<br /><br />To anonymous: My God, you're right - I didn't even think of olive oil. I feel truly ashamed as olive oil is pure liquid divinity!!<br /><br />Lindsey: Agreed about SUVs - there is no reason a family of two who drives the mean, hard PAVED streets needs a SPORT utility vehicle. <br /><br />Danita: Produce Junction sells bunches of cilantro for 3/$1!!! It's insane and it goes without saying our fridge has been overtaken by their sweet aroma, which is just fine by me. We cook a lot of Mexican and Indian dishes so it gets some heavy use. I think you should start a new blog called "Crazy for Cilantro", by the way.<br /><br />Nathan:<br />I didn't even realize I misspelled "piece" in the phrase, so I think any sort of wit was decidedly unintentional!

I, too, read about the anti-cilantroites the other day while shaking my head in dismay, and I honestly wondered if these haters needed tongue scrapers or olfactory adjustments. I just couldn't bend my mind around some of their descriptions. Cilantro is the most amiable and refreshing of all the herbs. So much so that I could very well compare it to a summer's day; thou vines art so lovely and so temperate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139882958054288362.post-68106554876168104032010-04-16T00:02:11.728-04:002010-04-16T00:02:11.728-04:00I too hate SUVs.
