A word about me and cilantro. I HAVE to have it. Period. It's not up for discussion. It would be very, very bad if I didn't have cilantro for my hot sauce that I make.

I have some alive in the cold frame now.

There are many different basils. You will probably want the classic basil used in Italian cooking, and at least one other kind. I say at least one, because basil is easily to start and makes attractive plants—I would grow a dozen kinds if I had the space. You can give away extra seedlings. The only thing you need to do once the plant is growing in its permanent place (they transplant readily) is keep snipping off the top so it does not form flowers and seeds, and so the plant will be bushier. The purple forms are fun to grow.

Have you ever grown culantro? It's an unrelated, completely different-looking plant, but has the same flavor as cilantro.

The first time I had hot sauce with cilantro in it, I thought it was heavenly bliss. That particular sauce was homemade by a Mexican type fellow. Pace puts out a commercial one with cilantro and I don't have any but now I want some. Next time I go to grocery, it will be on the list.

What word do we use now for a man who was born here and whose parents are of Mexican heritage but they are citizens just like he is. Is it okay to call him a Mexican-American? See, I think it was one of his Mexican heritage parents that taught him how to make that wonderful sauce. Or, do I just forget he is of Mexican lineage and never bring it up? He also speaks Spanish fluently.

My ancestors from both sides came from England. On my father's side, in the early 1800s, his grandfather or great grandfather married a full blood Choctaw woman when that tribe was headed to Oklahoma to the Choctaw reservation and they stopped in Arkansas for a while and that's how she came into the family. I'm 1/16 or 1/32 Choctaw, so maybe you should call me an Indian. Hussein, the so called president, has some negro blood so he is likely 1/2 negro and he's called a black not a half black, half white. Why is he not called white? Now, I'm totally confused.
