I only know one person who has made it clear he hates cilantro. He said it tastes like soap. I hear that is pretty common among the non cilantro lovers. I'm pretty sure I know more people who don't like it but they have never been that direct about it. I can't imagine salsa & guacamole without it. Taste buds are a funny thing. I don't understand someone not liking strawberries either but it happens!

We had a family friend who had a chair lift on her stairs. I remember riding it up and down the stairs probably the entire time of our visits. She was probably glad to see of go home!

I'm with many other posters, beer out of a bottle or can seems pretty safe.

5 in 15: Five Spring Cleaning Chores To Conquer in Fifteen Minutes

I just thought of another one or two. When the person in line in front of me either leaves their cart in front of the area where the next person would unload their groceries. Or when they place their cart sideways at the area where you bag your groceries leaving no room for the person on the other side. These pet peeves don't happen every time. Like I said before, I like grocery shopping and think of it as putting culinary possibilities together or finding some really great treasures because I have to go down every isle.

Mine is also the isle blockers. I always end up annoyed and when squeezing past them I say "excuse you". Someday I know I'll say it to the wrong person on wrong day but I can't help myself. There is also a cashier I try to avoid, she is slow in checking the stuff out and then always says something just strange enough that I feel uncomfortable. Regardless of the once in a while annoying pet peeves I actually enjoy grocery shopping!

Peanut butter on both slices of bread with the jam (not jelly) in the middle, no butter. Make sure the peanut butter is spread thicker on the outer edges of the bread to seal in the jam. Any kind of wheat or multi-grain bread is fine. My real preference is to mix the peanut butter and jam in a bowl and spoon the mixture onto bread slices cut into 4 squares so it's kind of like a dip.

@BLUE-EYES, you are so on point with the observance of the rude guest. He was a friend of a friend and always had poor social skills. I hadn't thought about him in a long time and can actually look back at that time and find it funny now!

I'm a log. And like emmelemm it's hard to wake up. Any kind of music or other noise just gets incorporated into what ever I'm dreaming about.

Although not intended for a chew toy, I just purchased a couple interactive puzzles for my dog. She has to move some of the parts around to get to a treat. She loves it! Highly recommend for dogs who need to be busy all the time!

You can pour boiling water over them and the skin slides right off....a trick my grandmother showed me when she was going to can beets. The last ones I prepared I just left skin on and roasted and ate the whole thing. Yum!

If you have a dishwasher, load it with as much small stuff as you can and hand wash any larger items that might would have fit otherwise.

Love the lamp shades with the other elements in the kitchen especially the window shade and wicker chairs.

I take a cutting from my aloe vera and apply the leaf directly on the burn. I try to do this several times during the course of the day/evening. The next day the mark is there but the pain is completely gone.

I sat a potholder on my glass top stove when it was on. Then turned around just in time to see sparks floating up in the air. The potholder quickly went outside but not in time to prevent the fire alarm go go off.

I once made the mistake of washing a dress instead of dry cleaning it. The skirt part of the dress had lots of pleats and I ended up washing them out! I will wash somethings that say dry clean but am careful that I won't be washing something that will be difficult to iron later.

I have two of those boxes from 6 yrs ago. On gets light bulbs stored in along with the other treasures. I know there is an ash tray, 110 camera film that needed to be developed years ago. Hoping to move soon and I think I'll toss what is in the boxes at this point. They are both the size of shoe boxes and live in my laundry room. I would be interesting to see that is on that film though.
