Have you ever been to the grocery and smelled the most exquisite aroma of fresh cilantro? I can't even describe- it isn't musty and thick like oregano, but it's soft and invigorating, and it begs to be mixed into salsa with warm tortilla chips. And I cannot stop thinking about it. It also used to be known as coriander, which sounds delicate and European. But let this other word wrap around your tongue: my beautiful cilantro.


Coriander is something I would name my kid, if I had one.
ReplyDeleteWell then I should nickname him/her (it almost works both ways!) Cilantro.
