day 105.

as i've mentioned before, i've been doing quite a bit of cooking during the past 100+ days - a total upside to the whole unemployed thing. one of the ingredients that i find myself buying the most for my little kitchen exploits is cilantro, an herb i always knew i liked, but didn't realize how much i liked. after cooking with it for two days straight last week (the aforepictured veggie burger, and a curry, which our apt STILL smells like, a whole week later) i realized i was starting to smell like a giant bundle of cilantro, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was wonderful to me.

today, in a burst of cilantro-scented coincidence, i was directed to this site - cilantro porn - which totally made my day. i think i need to find some sort of cilantro home spray, pronto, before i start strewing leaves of it around my pillows.

Uninteresting cilantro fact: Caleb hated it in The OC.

you should check out Pioneer Woman's Asian Noodle Salad, which is chock full of the goodness that is cilantro. I also recommend growing your own. They will do quite nicely in a window box, as I'm assuming you don't have your own garden out in Astoria. lol

tim - that's a super interesting fact!

ss23 - i'll definitely check out that recipe! sounds amazing. haha, and you're right - my apt unfortunately does not have a garden, but we did grow basil on our balcony last year, and thanks to your tip i think i'll give cilantro a shot this year!
