I chopped onion and fresh cilantro tonight...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I never cooked fresh cilantro before; and I'm pleasantly surprised to find that my hands smell like this herb rather than the onions I chopped! Life's little pleasures... :D

1. Cilantro is excellent

:D Over the summer, I made fresh salsa with cilantro, and it was quite good, if I do say so myself. ;) I like the way cilantro smells and tastes; in fact, it's probably one of my favorite herbs. :hi:

11. I'll bet that would be great...

:thumbsup:

13. It was really fun to make, and it seemed to be a hit.

:D The only problem was that I forgot that my dad was allergic to raw onions, and I put some green onions in the salsa, so he couldn't eat any. :( I did make some guacamole with cilantro, though, and he was able to enjoy that! :hi:

2. That must be because of cilantro's soap-like features.

Not a fan.

:P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I'll bet it would be great in soap...

Usually I use a coffee soap to get rid of onion stench.

12. Rubbing hands on stainless steel sink always works, too!

3. I tried some a while back

I wasnt real excited about the aroma.

It did add like a layer to the meal though.

:hi:

7. I enjoy it in Thai food

And it smells so much better than onion hands!

15. cilantro is awesome, i had thai food tonight and i asked for extra cilantro on top.

yummy, it adds a wonderful freshness to whatever you're cooking, good stuff.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Yum...What did you have?

I love Thai food!

[AlCzervik]

18. i had pad thai with extra tofu and veggie spring rolls and they were yummy.

we have the best thai place about 5 miles away from my house, everything there is just wonderful.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. I wish we had a good Thai restaurant in the neighborhood...

My favorite restaurant is a half hour to 40 minute's drive from here...but it's worth the drive!

[AlCzervik]

21. thats the one thing we have an abundance here is Thai food. When i visited my sister

in Boston last summer i was dying for Thai and the only place that had any was actually a chinese food place and it sucked, it tasted nothing at all like thai food so now she's coming here in July and the first thing she wants to try is Thai food.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. First time I tried it was in Milwaukee, of all places...

It just about burned my tongue off; but damn it was good!

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

16. That sounds good

as for the onions.. :cry:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. I have a tough time with onions...

I usually have to use less than a recipe calls for.
