Nilly, coriander leaves and cilantro are the same thing.

I mean, it's made of coriander, right? We do have that, and I even use it (the leaves) in cooking, but nothing else. So I still am deep inside the big cilantro mystery.
nilly, for some crazy reason, in English, the plant is cilantro (so in cooking with the leaves you are cooking with cilantro.) and we use coriander to describe spice made from the seeds of the same plant. Like you, I called them both coriander until I was shown the error of my ways by a foodie boy.

coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Over here, we call the coriander leaves cilantro and the seeds coriander, which is used as a spice.
It's just a terminology thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Another trivial thing that bugs me - people who drive convertibles with the top down but the windows up. It's aesthetically wrong!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I can't believe we're having the fork-switching conversation again. I love you people and your crazy repetitive obsessions.
And I didn't respond to it this time! I feel I've grown as a person. alien freaks
Now I at least know that I don't know what it tastes like, because I'm not sure I ever encountered it here. I mean, it's made of coriander, right? We do have that, and I even use it (the leaves) in cooking, but nothing else. So I still am deep inside the big cilantro mystery.
Hi Nilly. Yes, it's just coriander leaves. 'Cilantro' is simply the Spanish name for the plant.
nilly, for some crazy reason, in English, the plant is cilantro (so in cooking with the leaves you are cooking with cilantro.)
Not exactly. In English it's coriander, in American English it's cilantro, derived from the Spanish.

I gotta wonder though...*why* does the wearing the watch on the inner wrist thing piss people off? I mean, I had my reasons for doing it and I didn't see that it was so aesthetically offensive...
I guess I'm pro-choice through and through. Keep your laws off my Timex.

I dunno. I was young and impressionable when I developed my views on how watches should be worn. Now I'm old and cranky and stuck in my ways.

Okay, I guess I can relate to that.

That would be me... I do it because there is such a thing as too much wind.
Okay. I need a shower then to the hospital to retrieve Mr. Noah (also I need to stop at Target which is a Very Dangerous Thing).
