I have a heckuva time with cilantro. Do great with just about all the other culinary herbs. Enjoyed some mojitos with fresh mint earlier.
Crimaliens NEVER wash their hands.
At least Austinites are vomiting from something other than 6th Street.

Haha! Very good.
ALWAYS wash your store-bought produce....home-grown produce too.....but especially store-bought.
The Austin, TX area has had a lot of people get food poisoning from food handlers not washing their hands.

Austin is a liberal, illegal alien friendly place.
dopes, they water your veggies with their excrement viva la mahico
