Cilantro

You either love it or you hate it. There is no middle ground. I think cilantro gives food the breath of life. It brings freshness and a flavor like no other. I hail from the "love it" camp. It is hard to imagine fresh salsa or pico de gallo without it. What's the point?

In other news, I spoke with my youngest uncle the other night. It was a good conversation. He lives in Louisville and has a great family. He is a great guy who can just say the right things. He has a way with words. I have a good family, it is made up of people who care for each other. I wish that we all lived closer together. When I was a kid, I would dream that one day I would own a hotel that we could all live in so we could be with each other all the time. Nobody would have to leave or drive far away. It's still something that I wish for, for us all to live close by each other.
