Apparently the cilantro thing is genetic. In any case parsley makes a good substitute for me.
Yup, I heard that too... I like Cilantro, no one else in my family does.
When we make Carnitas, I use Cilantro and everyone else gets Parsley.
If I ever go to NZ, we have to have that Chris.
Just made my first carbonara- it was pretty good
I was saving these to make a Chili but the wife wanted to use them for a roast tonight.
Never mind plan B for the Chilli.

Quite simple. While the spaghetti was boiling, I put a few table spoons of olive oil in a pan with cubed prosciutto. Sautéed for 5 minutes, the last couple with 4 cloves of finely chopped garlic. Then, toss the spaghetti in that pan and toss it all up. I scrambled 3 eggs, made fed in grated pecorino, and added that to the mix. Topped it with a little fresh pepper and a little more pecorino.Mate, if you ever make it down here it would be my pleasure to make you a Sunday Lamb roast. This will be the last one for a while as summer has arrived for us.
My wife works a double shift on Mondays so she can have Fridays off. The left overs were going to work with her.
carbonara, yum. I need to make that myself one day.
I grew epazote once years ago but couldn't get near that one, if i recall correctly reminded me of kerosene. But that may be just me, always must be decided on by ones self, try it and see.
We've tarragon growing in a pot in the yard, perrenial here, not a great many recipes that call for it but i find it a nice addition to those that do, a mild/subtle anise like flavour.

Steak, salad & baked potato.
Try putting tarragon in your chicken salad. Place some in the cavity of a roasted chicken or turkey. I love tarragon.
Chris, are those little roasted potatoes? Explain please.
Yes there are....errr were.
Explain please..... I was telling the little woman about what how I was going to cooked the lamb to make a chilli.
She said yum........I thought that I was gaining traction on the chilli idea but sadly no, it was the roast potato she was referring to. Oh well I take that as a win anyway.
OK these are dead simple.
I heat up the some shortening before adding the potatoes. Coat all over with the shortening and give it a liberal sprinkling with some roast veggie seasoning.
The shortening is from animal fat, no room for that veggie stuff here. The veggie seasoning is just garlic, rosemary and a little black pepper.
Baked in a oven for approx. 1.5 - 2 hours at approx. 180'C / 356'F turning a few times until golden brown.
I normal just put them in with the meat but they are really nice with the shortening.

Thanks Chris. Your shortening is better than ours. I'm using butter or bacon fat in it's place.
