I've watched a few times but often avoid. She does have some good
recipe ideas but the sappy family stories added is annoying.
Worst thing though is that GD silly 24/7 smile on her face EVERY
SINGLE MOMENT AS SHE COOKS ANY DAMN THING! ARRGHHH!

Her *constant* grin is equally annoying to me as that GIANT full
teeth grin that Giada always shows.

I watch specifically for the kids and the ranch. Family stuff doesn't
bother me. I know you've said before you don't like smiles even
though the producer is telling her smile, smile, smile.
Don't you find it interesting how a ranching family teaches the kids
how to work and take over one day?

No crappy food. She has lots of practical ideas for food for families
and regular folks.
I guess I just don't get annoyed by a lot of people. I save it for
the men who run shopping carts up my ankles because they are
oblivious. The same guys that can't drive.

I only grow curly leafed parsley because it has so much more flavor
than the flat leaf. Flat leaf has a very grassy flavor

It took a while for her to grow on me. I was put off at first by all the
grinning but she grew on me. But she's inspired me to cook only one or
two of her dishes so I don't know why I keep watching her as it's not for
the recipes.

I was never impressed all the much with parsley until last year when I did a
pork roast. It needed 'something' so I put in a heaping tablespoon of dried
parsley and to my surprise, it really perked up the flavor.

I agree with that wholeheartedly! Carrots are sweet, which is one

carrot but not a lot.

She had to grow on me, but Giada never has grown on me. The full chopper

That's a good description, Janet. Grassy. Curley parsley is slightly
sweet. Used as a breath freshener in some cultures. And, as you
mentioned elsewhere in the thread, like a little splash of lemon it just
brightens up a dish when added at the end.

I can't answer for JanetB but I don't follow Emeril. I add herbs and
spices to taste, not because someone on television says I should.

I agree with her. A little bit of parsley. A little bit of lemon. Too
much of anything can quickly destroy a dish.

You may keep your cilantro/coriander seeds on Brussels Sprouts. Just
some butter, S&P please. I have been known to make a Brussels Sprouts
casserole but there was no cilantro or coriander involved.

A thick white sauce seasoned with a bit of thyme poured over the halved
Brussels Sprouts in a baking dish, topped with buttered breadcrumbs,
then baked.

Really? I thought that it was an annual topic here, usually starting at
this time of year because of the approaching asparagus season.

You usually don't have to go out of your way to smell it. Apparently
everyone's pee develops that smell when they eat asparagus, but some
people lack the ability to smell it. I wonder if there is a correlation
between being able to smell asparagus pea and cilantro tasting like soap.

That's odd. I can only remember one guy clipping me ankles. It was only
a very gentle bump and when I looked back he apologized. It is usually
women who hit me in the ankles. One old babe did it four times.
I just looked back the first three times. The fourth time I just put by
put on the front of her cart and pushed it back a bit.
The best I ever saw was the very fat woman who decided to park her cart
in the choke point of an aisle and making a point of reading the labels
on every product in reach while cart traffic build up in both
directions. The lady behind her had less patience than I had and rammed
her cart into the woman's ankles, which got a very vocal response from
the blocker who whined about how it hurt. I smiled at the woman and
give her a thumbs up.

I love tabouli but I really have to be in the mood for it. I only eat it

Apparently not. I can smell asparagus pee and I love cilantro.

It does have a vaguely "soapy" flavor, and when I first encountered it
I didn't much like it. Repeated exposure fixed that.

Sometimes one is aware that a flavour is strange, but one appreciates
it anyway. In my case that applies to cilantro and liquorice, for
instance.

That was what I meant by the correlation. Jill hates cilantro and cannot
smell asparagus pee. I sure smell it and I like cilantro.

Cilantro tastes like Ivory soap to me... if cilantro tasted like
liquor ice I'd love it. I happen to love licorice, I used to be a
Sen-Sen addict. Most dentists used Sen-Sen, Lavoris, or both.

Cilantro is a genetic thing where it tastes like soap.

What if you agree that it tastes soapy but you like it anway? Is that
genetically superior or what?

I like sliced carrots in soups and stews. I cook them by themselves,
throw them in the fridge and add them near the end of cooking for the
main dish. I avoid that 'soup cooked with carrots' taste that way.

Did it ever occur to you or that other woman to say "excuse me, your

The only recipe attributed to her that I've ever made was posted here.
'Crashed Baked Potatoes'. Essentially small new potatoes, boiled,
drained, placed on a baking sheet drizzed with oil then smashed with a
fork or a potato masher. Drizzle with more oil, sprinkle with S&P and
the dried herb of your choice (I like dill weed) and roast in the oven.
Quite tasty! Crispy outside, tender inside. It's probably nothing new
to many people but I'd never thought of cooking them that way before.

anomaly.

Oh I don't know about that; there are plenty of rude and/or oblivious
people in the world. Just saying I've never encountered someone who
wouldn't move their cart and say, "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize."

I've never had anyone run their cart into my ankles. I sure as hell
wouldn't do it to someone on purpose, not even if they steadfastly
refused to move after being asked. I can't imagine that scenario.
(Watch; next time I go shopping it will happen! LOL )

Some people seem to acquire a taste for it despite initially disliking
it. My wife is a good example of that. She did not like it at first, but
now she loves it.

FU, Gary. Why would anyone lie about experiences like that?

One should not have to say "excuse me" in a case like that because the
woman was clearly being an ass. There was one spot in the entire aisle
where there was a skid of stock, and that was precisely where that woman
decided to stop and examine everything within reach. I was more patient
than the woman behind here, and I am pretty sure that she had come to
the same conclusion that I had and them used her cart to express her
thoughts.

You have never had anyone not move their cart when you asked. I have had
plenty of people ignore my requests. They seem to be selectively deaf,
and I tend to see that as being closely related to parking their carts
for maximum blockage. I had also been known to ask once politely, a
second time a little louder and then bumping their cart out of the way.

I'm so pleased for you. I've had my ankles rammed a couple of times
in the last 2,3 months. But, of course, Gary says I'm making it up.
With the one rude *******, he was so busy talking while we were all
crammed up waiting to exit Costco during Christmas rush -- people were
exiting checkout lanes, grabbing food from the food court and having
their receipts read. He rammed my ankle, tore skin off and pretty
much wrecked the back of a sling back shoe. The impact was pretty
harsh and all he said was a casual oh, sorry, moved on, leaving me
hopping on an injured foot while he carried on his convo.

that recipe came through here first from another poster, "Damsel."
There was quite a bit of interest in it at the time.

Have you ever had anyone putting their groceries in a moving conveyor
belt at the checkout and their stuff is getting mixed up with theirs.
In the past I have repeatedly pushed their stuff back, one time a little
too hard. One time I said to a guy "Do you think you could wait until I
get my stuff on?" and he got all snotty about it. I decided that the
next time it happens I will just wait for the cashier to deal with it,
and if there is a bunch of their groceries on my bill they will just
have to wait while our purchases get sorted out and rung through a
second time.

I have had it happen a number of times, but never hard enough to do
damage. I did get pretty testy with the old girl who kept doing it. It
wasn't very hard, but .... four times???? That was when I reacted like
a horse who is being harassed from behind.

Your store doesn't have those checkout dividers that you lay on the
conveyor belt? They denote the end of your items and beginning of the
person behind you items??

I'm very sorry that happened! I wasn't accusing you of making it up.
Just said I've never run into it. Then again, I haven't shopped at
Costco and certainly not during a Christmas rush. I was referring to
every day shopping at a typical supermarket. Thought that's what we
were discussing, not holiday madness.
