Cilantro Kills

A look that even your mom wouldn't cilantro.

It’s official. Cilantro kills.

Don’t take it from me. CNN says so. Thousands of cilantro plants have been judged to make people sick.

As if ALL of them don’t make people sick.

Duh.

I am sitting here typing this blog post with no small measure of glee. Because no contraption exists that can mute the blaring television in a public area, I happened to note that cilantro is on a killing rampage, wreaking havoc in digestive tracts around the country.

So, everyone should stop eating cilantro. Immediately. It’s the best way to avoid a sickening, soapy segueway into the new year.

At least, I can happily report that this blogger is almost done with cilantro. Countdown to updated blog premiere is four more days.

I hope to see you here. Thank you for an amazing 2010!!

And, remember, in 2011, cilantro kills. Especially when it is disguised as negative, ugly, mean, gossip-mongering, intolerant, petty, h-word filled filth on your spirit.

    All Right!! Got the boot and bondage shot today! Oh yeah, what was the blog about?? Let’s review….cilantro, a perfectly harmless parsley has been outed by CNN as a danger drug, possibly leading to the inhalation of asparagus fumes.

    Huh? that wasn’t the story? Please don’t confuse me with facts, they just get in the way of a good story.

    Very excited to see what the new year will bring for the Andra-dites as we wait, more or less patiently, for the new year’s theme. Will it be Love, Peace, another word for social networking….OOOOHHH, just can’t wait.

    For now, we’ll have to be content with putting our scarred eyeballs back in place after the bondage boot(X) shot. :)

    • I’ve got to get right on the new theme stuff, Lou. I can’t just take my site down and then put it back up all fixed, so I’m going to have to stay up and do it in the middle of the night, I guess. Oh, wait. I guess that’s what New Year’s Eve will be for.

      Glad you like the photo. And, I love your version of the news.

    When I first heard the report, I thought of you right away.

    December 28, 2010
    • Several people did. Some people sent me the article by email.

      I like the neck warmer you made.

  3. For some reason, the first thing my brain did when I saw the post photo was fill in the top with this http://tinyurl.com/3yywkm8

    • Yeah, you would…you love that Xena…But I’m going to have to stop wearing the sword in bed tee-hee.

      December 28, 2010
    • I wish I were buff like Xena.

        well done, Bill, a little Xena always hits the spot.

        December 28, 2010
      • I Xena!!

  4. I’ve gone all year and have to admit that while I cilantro negative thinking and try really hard to remain positive, I do <3 the vegetative variety of cilantro in Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese cooking and in seafood ceviches too.

    Don't cilantro me just because I've not cured my love during this year long journey…some of us are just cilantro lovers.

    December 28, 2010
    • Lots of people love the weed, I mean, herb. Part of my journey has been to realize that I can disagree with others and still like them very much. So, keep loving it. :)

        we’re allowed to disagree???!!! How cool is that and still like each other…awesome.

        December 28, 2010
      • Some people can’t disagree and still like each other.

        December 28, 2010
      • It all comes down to respect!

    Hey, for the next month we may enjoy cilantro-free salsa in our favorite restaurants. :-)

    December 28, 2010
    • That is a benefit I didn’t even think about. I never get to eat the salsa. Thanks for giving me an excuse to go gobble up some chips. :)

    I am quite sure that Mayo, the queen of salmonella poisoning, has offed a few people as well. Can’t wait for the updated blog…

    December 28, 2010
    • Well, I can promise the new blog won’t have anything to do with mayo. :) Happy 2011 to you and G.

      December 28, 2010
      • Thank goodness that the new blog will have nothing to do with mayo! As far as I’m concerned, that is evil cilantro’s twin.

        December 29, 2010
  7. I went out and had salsa with cilantro in it in your honor today. Just for you!

    December 28, 2010
    • I wanted to have some chips today. After all the French food over Christmas, I was craving some Mexican.

      December 28, 2010
      • I am craving Mexican too. I am so tired of looking at ham and turkey!
