So. I had this leftover cilantro in the fridge from that wonderful enchilada/burrito recipe last Friday, so I dug around on the internet for recipes that use cilantro. I came up with a Quinoa (keen-wa) with black beans and cilantro salad. My changes to this recipe - substituting turmeric for the cumin and goat cheese for the feta cheese. Really easy, really tasty!
Growing up in the midwest in 60s and 70s, I had no idea what cilantro was. Now I absolutely love it. It's hard to grow in that one would need to plant lots and lots of it, so I am happy to buy it at Sprouts.
I have also just recently learned about quinoa - a seed that is not only full of fiber, but also protein, so it's great for vegetarians.

Because you taught me how to spell "definitely," I'm obliged to let you know that the shortened form of refrigerator is spelled "fridge."

Thanks, Liesl! I THINK I actually knew how to spell fridge, but for some reason beyond my control, I definitely did not spell it correctly.
Thanks for an extra recipe to use with some of the 2 boxes of Quinoa I bought at TJs in July. Got other recipes online.
