"MAY INCLUDE RUM"..14 NIGHTS SAPPHIRE FALLS.. MAY `19 TRIP REPORT

I love Basil of any kind!!! We grow some lemon basil here....sounds different, but it`s beautiful..….Thai Basil I`ve enjoyed a couple of times, but can`t seem to buy it over here.....only dried.....not the same!

Yep......cilantro is horrible stuff........

I have genovese, sweet, Thai and cinnamon in my container herb garden. Like you, I love basil of any variety!
 
Me ! I Iove cilantro! LOVE IT! I even remember the first time I had it ... 2000, driving from Ontario to Orlando, stopped the first night for dinner at a Mexican restaurant and we were brought the usual complimentary chips and salsa, but this was fresh salsa, not the bottled stuff which until then was the only kind I knew. Blew my mind. LOL. So fresh and delicious. I get that it isn't for everyone as it is a strong flavour but felt I had to jump in here and give it some love. When we got home that year I started making salsa for scratch, no more jarred stuff for us. Cilantro? Yes please!

lol......cilantro love...….

I only ever make fresh...….and if I say so myself I make a lovely salsa 😁 but not a single one of my friends like cilantro, so it`s an easy thing to omit from anything we all make....

I did try jarred salsa once......oh lordy, it tasted like an awful sauce I got at my one and only visit to Mama Della`s at PBH....most inauthentic taste ever...…but, yes, fresh is always better.....:thumbsup2
 
I like Cilantro too! It has such a fresh taste...yummy! So good in homemade guacamole!

But I do understand the cilantro haters...DD is among them. She too says it's like nasty soap!

Now I love guacamole.....Tom doesn't like it but yep, I could it on it`s own....but I love avocados and he doesn't...…...

Yes, soap.....that`s all I ever taste.....if I forget to ask if it`s in any dishes and it`s there, I just can`t eat it..….some things you can eat despite not being keen on it, but cilantro......nope......:wave2:
 


I'm actually flat out allergic to cilantro, not only do I taste the soap but my system expresses its distress loudly and quickly if I eat it. Same way with Rosemary, sick as a dog if I eat it. Bottom line, I don't eat fresh salsa out as inevitably has cilantro in it.

schumi, as always I love reading your trip reports. We recently had a death in the family and as I've moved past making arrangements your report has really helped me get ready and dare I say excited to get away on our trip. We leave in 11 days, not that I've got a tracker on my phone or anything.

Now those sound beautiful!!! Yes, basil is gorgeous...

We`d love to have a fresh supply of Kaffir Lime Leaves......I adore them and again, Tom isn't keen on them......he isn't keen on ginger or lemon grass either and I love them all!!!

I`ve ordered a Kaffir lime leaf plant and hopefully it`ll be here on Saturday.....and hope the guy who looks after our gardens (we are hopeless gardeners) will be able to keep it healthy......I could destroy weeds!!!!

Bethany, I`m so sorry for your loss. Any death is hard to deal with, but family is something else. I hope your grief eases a little as soon as possible.....:flower3:

Nasty allergies are awful.....some folks don't imagine how bad you can react to something like that......with me it`s raw or cooked whole onion and mushrooms.....onions ground down into powder is fine weirdly.....our bodies are mysterious temples at times!

I`m so glad you have enjoyed reading along......I hope it has taken your mind off a little while you go through such a time...and how fabulous you will be away soon....it`ll do you a world of good.....

Hope you have a truly wonderful trip...sounds like you will really need a break...….:)
 


You're off to a great start...and I'm hungry now from reading!

I'm one of the weird ones who loves cilantro. I cook with it all the time. My daughter and son hate it, though!

Thanks Andrea......yes, I shouldn't post food pics whilst hungry......lol....

Another cilantro fan..... 🤢 lol......jk…...I just sent a group txt to random twenty friends and asked who hates or loves coriander...….not one who likes it yet......only had 15 replies so far......but hate seems to be the choice of my friends...…it`s a weird one.....it is certainly a distinct yay or nay from folks....:wave2:
 
give me a good old fashioned gas guzzling high powered engine.....not a "politically correct" thing to say nowadays but heyho…...

Hehehehe. I always laugh at those people at times. I'm like...that works well for you...but those little electric cars would NOT survive our harsh cold Canadian winters!!!! I live in oilfield country...so we have lots of diesel trucks and big equipment running around on our roads. Our roads get fairly beat up by all the heavy equipment that gets hauled to oilfield sites. I wonder what they would think of our big diesel truck...pulling all our " toys" around...camper, atv's, snowmachines, and boat. We enjoy our outdoor activities!!!! Little cars just don't "live " very long in our part of the world.
advisement we only got one fries as he assured us there was plenty for two.....he was right!

We 💓💓💓 Five guys. When we let our youngest pick a meal out...he picks 5 guys!!!! And yes...you definitely don't need more than 1 order of fries. I will never forget our first trip there when they didn't tell us that one order would be good. We had a full bag of fries :rotfl:

Love the food pictures!!!!

And what a great way to spend Mother's day!!!!
 
Bethany10 I am sorry for the loss of your family member. I'm glad the disboards can bring you a bit of respite from all that follows a close one's death.

I guess I am an equal opportunity herb lover as I love basil, rosemary, ginger and lemongrass too. And kefir lime. And lemons. Oh dear, I guess I just love to eat. My immediate family likes cilantro but I have to leave it out if the nieces and nephews are coming, they say they can smell it as soon as they enter the house lol. Keep the food porn coming Carole!

Ohhhh, you'll have to let me know if you have good luck with the kaffir lime! I order the leafs from Amazon, but I'd love to have a plant!
 
Another cilantro lover here. Always plant a salsa garden- tomato, jalapeño, cilantro and garlic...also have tons of herbs. Have a hen who does love the rosemary thought, and recently the baby chickies decided to munch on the mint...I too like food! We have a Five guys in town but I’ve never been...
Mother’s Day brunch- can’t wait to hear about it!

Yes, I can imagine little cars with less power than a hairdryer wouldn't last long up there!!! I detest tiny cars...….love a kindred spirit!!!!

I would normally order two fries, so we were glad as there were enough for four people!!!!

Mother`s Day was wonderful!!!!

Oh I love all of those!!!! Ginger especially....and that's one that both Tom and Kyle don't like.....so if I do stir fry for me I fill it with lemongrass and ginger.....they never want to eat any.....lol...…

Yep, I can smell cilantro a mile away......

More food coming up...….:P
 
Ohhhh, you'll have to let me know if you have good luck with the kaffir lime! I order the leafs from Amazon, but I'd love to have a plant!

Oh it`s arriving next Thursday so I`ll be gone by then......but the guy who looks after our garden says they`re easy to keep......I have no clue!!!

My jalapeno plant didn't survive "me" trying to take care of it......despite assurances of "you can`t kill it" …….oh wanna bet!!!!! :blush:

On another how clueless am I with gardening......we have a Bay Leaf tree in this house not that far from the house.....had no clue!!! The farmer next to us who takes all our fruit asked if I could get her some.....I thought she meant from the store...….she laughed and said she`d come show me.....

Ever felt like an idiot!!!!

🤭🤭🤭
 
Great start so far, I love the suite at SF! Just beautiful.
Sounds like some good food, drinks, and friends already on the trip!

Thanks Caroline...….

That suite is beautiful, we are so lucky to be able to spend time in it.....as we do like some down time....I know you do too....so yes, it`s lovely.

We were already having a fabulous time despite it only being the first real day......

Glad you`re still here reading along...….:wave2:

Oh the Mother`s Day Brunch was fabulous....we were so impressed and had a wonderful day....

lol on your chickies eating the herbs!!! Now mint is another that I don't like......cannot quite get the taste for that either.....

Love the sound of your plants though.....I tried a jalapeno plant....but it wasn't a success. It died. Our gardener then forbade me from trying to keep plants alive......he just said he was glad we didn't have a dog....😲



Oh you have to try Five Guys.....we liked it.....although I do prefer a real burger as opposed to a patty style burger......but it was nice.
