Home und Garten


To cap off a very busy weekend in Columbus (Hippies, Homos, and Geeks otherwise known as Comm Fest, Pride, and Origins) today was the annual German Village Home und Garten tour. After touring these homes (and a few open houses) I have decided that I want a new kitchen. Chris and i are just chock full of ideas for a new home.

What would a community tour be without a Market Place? Nothing! Of course there was a little Marketplatz set up in Schiller park where I had to do some shopping. At Circa Seeds we found a cool Maypop Passion Flower Vine and (what I am really excited about) a delfino cilantro that has more fern like leaves and is supposed to go to seed much slower than it's typical counterpart. Seeing as how my cilantro already bolted before I had a chance to do anything with it I am very excited to give this variety a shot. Has anyone worked with this type of cilantro before? Any hints or tips?

Well I am one of those genetically strange people who think that cilantro tastes like soap, so I avoid it at all costs. But I totally want to hear how it works in your favorite recipes. I wonder if it still tastes like burning plastic like the flat leaf kind?

What? You don't like cilantro? I think I would die without cilantro. Okay, so maybe I am over acting just a TINY bit. . .
I'll be sure to let you know how it works out.
