BTW honorary Jews (also people who convert) always know more about Judaism than born Jews, probably for the reason that Laurel said.
Yea, What's the deal with converted Jews making a big deal about being Jewish?

I don't put cilantro in my curries for a reason, Ev! At restaurants I ask if it can be served without that garnish, or if the leaves are big enough I pick them out.

Also I always always hold the pico, but that's also b/c I dislike onions. I will dice up some tomatoes & mash an avocado on my own at home.

i like veggie burgers. But I like just grilling a portabello more
portabello is great to grill! if you marinate in balsamic or something it gets all juicy - is like the steak of vegetarianism!
i lived with a cilantro hater which was mostly ok cause we generally cooked our own stuff anyway and when she did cook for me it was always delicious. the only times i got really really sad was when she would make this awesome salsa. would have been million times more awesomer with cilantro :(
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link
jon, ew - my digestive system is cool with all this i eat a lot of vegetables
you know what's a good addition to salsa? chipotle

I have two foods that I think I must have a genetic aversion to - canned tuna fish and hard-boiled/deviled eggs.

my ex from 2002 added this to wikipedia:
==Trivia== * Fritos (original and barbeque flavor) contain no animal products, and are a staple for vegan snack-lovers. * Fritos also is a slang term for marijuana. * The oil on Fritos is very flammable, and can be used as kindling or a small torch. * Frito pie is a traditional dish made with Fritos, chili, cheese, and onions in the Southern and Southwestern United States, particularly Texas.

actually, i used smoked raw bacon from a polish butcher. definitely better than supermarket bacon, and probably cheaper!
one of the best things about gpoint is picking my own bacon...from a variety of levels.

i even went and saw a rock show (simply saucer) from 11:30 to, like, 2 am. which in retrospect was kind of a nuts thing to do.

Don't be silly, everyone eats tacos. They're Old El Paso seasoning on ground beef piled into a hard corn shell and topped with jack cheese, tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce. Duh.

Pico El Gallo
― gabbneb, Friday, 15 June 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm not big on cilantro. maybe my mouth is broken. i don't mind when it's a part of a recipe, but i kinda started to get mad when i would go to restaurants and they would just dump it all over my food and i had no knowledge beforehand that they would be doing this. i mean, a garnish is one thing, but a lot of cilantro tends to make stuff taste like cilantro. at indian places i would know to expect it and sometimes i would even tell them not to put it on top, but i went to one of those "gourmet" pizza places once and ordered a regular pizza and when it came to the table it was covered in cilantro!!!! wtf!!! that is just WRONG. sorry. i mean, if it had said on the menu COVERED IN CILANTO i never would have opted for that. but by all means, throw as much garlic into my "smashed" potatos as you want. no problem there.
now i never eat out, so these things aren't a problem anymore.
