Seedy
I was looking for a pre-dinner activity, so I suggested to Iris that we plant some cilantro, since (a) I’m hoping to save money on cilantro this summer, and (b) I knew we had a packet of cilantro seeds. Iris and I spooned some dirt into a cup (since we couldn’t find a flowerpot) and I ripped open the seed envelope.
“Hey, Iris,” I said, “these look just like coriander seeds. Er, wait, I’m a doofus.”
Next we’ll go to a farm and I’ll be all, “That thing that came out of the chicken looks just like an egg!”

So how much does cilantro cost up there? Here (TX) it’s only 50 cents a bundle. All year long. Which makes me feel less guilty when I only use a little bit and forget to do something with it before it gets all gross.

It’s 79 cents to a dollar at the supermarket, or 50 cents at Uwajimaya. Less at other Asian groceries. I probably spend about $5/month on cilantro.
Andrew, I tried to grow mace, but I couldn’t figure out how to get the peppers into the little spray can.
