I have nothing against graters, Shir. I consider the grater attachment on the food processor a grater. For myself I am stuck using a hand grater as despite the glory of the food processor I don't actually own one.

You mean fresh coriander, right? AKA cilantro.
I guess I should get in the shower, and potentially pack...
NO CILANTRO IN THE LATKES

I got 70%.
I got 72%, but I guessed on a lot of them.
Cilantro in latkes? That is so wrong, even if you did like cilantro.
You mean fresh coriander, right? AKA cilantro.
Yes! Didn't know it has another name in the fresh form.
NO CILANTRO IN THE LATKES
It's all about the dosage.
Besides, those latkes are mostly for people who are fed up with the usual potato latkes.
After watching the reaction to the San Francisco Valentine Day Gay Marriage fest my feelings are very strongly that people consider marriage to be different from civil unions and it has much greater emotional resonance.
I keep going back to the Asimov short story "Bicentenniel Man" where a robot desires freedom and goes to court to get it. And the court rules that if you can desire freedom you deserve it. So I think that if two consenting adults desire marriage, they should be married. Not civilly unionized, but married as they choose. It is the emotional, cultural binding that matters to them as much as the legal status.

Bears Fan Found Delirious After Hours In Cold
A Chicago Police officer is being credited with saving the life of a man who was found early Tuesday gloveless and in a near delirious state possibly suffering from hypothermia after attending the Bears game.
The man called police from his cell phone at 1:11 a.m. and said "I can't move" and "I am extremely cold,'' according to a Central District police, who said officer Femi Odugbesan found him and saved the 22-year-old Bridgeview man's life.

"He just kept saying he couldn't feel his hands and he said he was thirsty. He said he felt like his chest was going to explode,'' Odugbesan said.
"I had some Coke in my car and I gave that to him. He was still kind of delirious. I put him in the back of the squad car. He said he was walking around looking for his car. I said you live in Chicago you should know better,'' according to the officer.

It was not immediately known whether the man is a Bears fan or a Green Bay Packers fan.
