[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
You were in a wheelchair in elementary school?I was in a chair through most of Middle School. Our MS was spread through 5 buildings all on a hill, so getting from class to class was a nightmare on the crutches. In the chair, one of the custodial staff would wheel me from class to class. High School I ditched the wheel chair. And by that time, I got the forarm crutches, which are SOOooOooo much better the old wooden ones.
Of course, it wasn't like the PE teacher was going to frogmarch me around the track. A Gandhi-esque bout of lump-on-the-groundness seemed to work.
This has me giggling at an image of a teenaged connie hunkered down on the track glowering at a pushy PE teacher. Go you!
I just discovered that coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Oh, coriander. You sounded like such a nice little spice. But you're an evil herb in disguise.
Aha! I see that the seeds are what I always thought of as coriander. But the leaves are cilantro! BASTARD.
I think coriander is cilantro seeds. So yeah, the same plant but quite different in flavor and application.
Except in Europe. There, coriander can mean either the seeds or the leaves. I think.
Cilantro is the one that tastes like soap, right?
Supertasters think cilantro tastes like soap. Poor bastards.
Supertasters think cilantro tastes like soap. Poor bastards.
The rest of you are just pretending that cilantro tastes good. And that sweet corn is sweet.
I hate having a sense I can't rely on to give accurate information.
Not a supertaster and I think cilantro is teh nast.
I don't think cilantro tastes like soap; I just hate it and its leafy awfulness getting in the way of my food.
