Cilantro

[BigV]

Once attended a church potluck dinner--covered dish, or whatever they're called. All the different serving dishes lined up on mismatched banquet tables, paper plates and plasticware at one end, dessert and soft drinks at the other. There were salads, ninety-nine different kinds of potatoes, meatballs, crockpot surprise, etc. One of the salads looked good, very rich green, all diced up fine, like a cobb salad. I took a big serving spoon of that one, and continued down the line, filling my plate as I went.

I found a place to rest my plate on my knees and I took a big spoonful of that chopped salad.

Big mistake.

It was cilantro all the way down. I think there might have been a red pepper waved over the bowl at some point for color, but there was no challenging the potency of that cilantro. Right there, in that one spoonful, I received my recommended lifetime allowance of cilantro. Yup, I'm good to go--permanently.
