Cilantro in latkes? That is so wrong, even if you did like cilantro.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

But you can do that now, without legal status. I have been to several non-legal weddings that were just as emotional and binding than signing a piece of paper from the state.
I know some odd people. Of non-legal straight weddings I've been to, one was a couple who didn't want The Man in their relationship, one was a bride who was scared of needles so got legally married in New York months before their wedding in MA, one was a couple who got legally married in MA for political purposes and then had a wedding in NY.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Sweet potato latkes! That does sound really good. I've had latkes two days in a row and suddenly remember why I feel so full when visiting family.

Here, by the way, the name is kusbara (both in Hebrew and Arabic).

“Not dead yet!”
Yes! Didn't know it has another name in the fresh form.

Throughout Latin America too. I never remember that it's known as coriander.
Grocery shopping has been achieved. Couldn't decide between mashed potatoes, stuffing, or arroz con frijoles, so I got the makings for all and I'll see what my mood is on Thursday.
And because I'm trying to be good in preparation for the gorgefest, I had a salad with grilled chicken for lunch. Go me.
