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.

"Get offa my lawn!"

people who drive convertibles with the top down but the windows up. It's aesthetically wrong!

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).

Thanks for all the explanation, everybody!

So I actually knew what it was, but didn't know that I know, so I actually could've known what I know, but didn't?

Also, all the Hebrew-English dictionaries I've encountered tried to convince me that I don't know what I thought I know. Either that, or they had the English-American-what-else confusion that some of you confessed to, either.

You have too many words!

Ahem.

So now I know. I sometimes cook with coriander/cilantro (it's Hebrew name comes from Arabic, I think, and it's pronounced "Koosbara"). But just a bit, because its flavor is so strong. I prefer mostly to use other leaves, because they have a more delicate affect on the result.

Huh. Maybe it depends on the car. In the three or four convertibles I've driven, the wind wasn't an issue even when going pretty fast.

Maybe Kat drives really fast....

Hee. You have the gist of it! Um. I think.

I was so disappointed when I rode in my first convertible. so much wind and it pushed my hair forward, not back because of the swirling or something.

Maybe Kat drives really fast....

Nope. But Miatas are wind machines and I have shoulder length hair and do most of my driving on the freeway. Also, if you put up BOTH windows it doesn't work. But if I put up just the passenger window, it keeps the wind down for me as the driver.
