That’s too bad about your cilantro. I have way too much in the summer. I plant it next to the dill. Which I also have way too much of. Maybe something is eating it?? I figure if your soil can grow dill you should be able to grow cilantro.

Problem with cilantro is keeping it from turning black in a day’s time.

I discovered that cilantro seems to keep longer with a sliced raw onion in the ziploc.

Must have cilantro for good salsa.

I just put it in a glass of water in the fridge, it will keep quite awhile. But it is very hard to grow - I never could until this year, and somehow some seeds got in with my petunia planters, and suddenly I had cilantro and didn’t even know it.

I remember a restaurant with a salad bar that had radish sprouts on it! Ooh, I sure did love them. Pungent and spicy. I would love to make them, I make a lot of salad.

Here’s the ingredients and nutritional for the Texas Pete’s hot dog sauce...I think I’d rather go with homemade. ;) Soy crumbles? eewww....;)

And, this youtube recipe for Texas Hot Weiner sauce looks interesting, something regional around upstate NY.

Last time we had a large family gathering I was talking to an aunt about chipped beef. She was saying how insanely easy it was to make with the storebought drief beef. The seed was planted and there the next weekend when I was home I got a flat of 6 biscuits from the day-old rack, a package of dried beef, and the next morning I made the whole batch. It was breakfast lunch and dinner... only addition the gravy needed was solved on the plate with a peppermill.

Oh... I think I was supposed to mention alfalfa sprouts here. Oops.

My old roommate went to college in West Virginia, and I came to enjoy what he called "West Virginia Dogs".

Last month I was in Waterbury, CT for work and went to this hot dog place called Frankie's that had been recommended to me. On the menu was... well... guess!

I added my own mustard and onions, because that's how I like it too... oh with a pickle slice too sometimes. I just thought it funny that the world knows it as a WV dog. I suppose the world also knows "WV Pizza" includes ranch dressing for dipping!

Yep, that’s it. They must have mighty muscles (or a mighty mixer) to get them mixed without more liquid. It was way past my abilities!

Tommyburger! My brother lived in LA for a spell... I had no clue how McDonald's and Burger King could possibly stay in business out there given all the other options... like Tommyburger, Foster's Freeze, Carl's Jr, and In-n-Out.

Same deal in Texas... when there is What-A-Burger available, to hell with McD's or BK!

I am one of the 50% of people that thinks “coriander weed” tastes like SOAP... but I agree, a proper salsa REQUIRES fresh cilantro.

Thanks for the laugh - sincerely. I needed it. If you are doing pots maybe a different soil. Definitely something sandy - good drainage. Also maybe soak your seeds in a wet paper to well wrapped in plastic wrap for a day.

I wonder if some brands of the lemon stuff are more liquid than others. But I think I’ll take your word, and just try it your way...

I also found this “Lemon Pillow Cake” - the pic looks scrumptious:

The last time we ordered seeds, we got some Daikon radish seeds - probably different from red radish; but we’re going to start them this weekend, and I’ll let you know how they go.

I don’t know which is better comfort food - the chipped beef on toast, or biscuits and sausage gravy ;-)

Yea, that would be easy, too. As long as you don’t mind lemony blobs in your cake. :-)
