Have you ever heard that cilantro can taste soapy to some people?

schulzie @schulzie (4061) • United States 27 Jan 13

I was watching a cooking show today and they mentioned not to put too much cilantro on top of a dish because they said it could taste "soapy". To me, cilantro tastes fresh and citrus. I use it in a lot of my Mexican dishes when...

Roni I have a friend who swears that indeed, cilantro tastes soapy. I'm on the fence, personally. It DOES have a taste, but I personally can't really say what it is. It's like...er...my tastebuds agree with it, there's a distinct taste that's a bit off-putting, but...

People Who Have Kids And Don't Want To Take Care Of Them

MoonGypsy @MoonGypsy (4606) • United States 19 Jan 13

why do people do this? women want to be pregnant and have all the attention, then have a cute little infant and have everyone be nice to them. a year later when the parenting really begins, they wait to pawn the kid off on some...

Roni I hope I do not insult you, but that sounds extremely irresponsible of your family members. Children are a gift, a joy, and something that not everyone can have. They are also a huge responsibility. While I know not every single one can be planned, it takes a...

Sub Or Dubbed Anime? (or Original?)

McCreeper @McCreeper (777) • United States 19 Jan 13

Which would you choose if you were watching an anime? (and why?) I have a personal taste for subtitles, as dubbed animes tend to have voices that don't "fit" with the expression.. in my opinion of course. I so far haven't...

Roni I've come to find that I like both. I grew up with the dubbed, but as an adult have been going back and checking subbed. In the hopes that it's translated correctly, indeed you do get a better feeling sometimes. Some companies do great translations, and it's...

horsemeat - is it good to eat?

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 19 Jan 13

A large supermarket in England has recently apologised for the DNA of horsemeat being in one of its processed meat products. Today someone was telling me that he had eaten a wonderful steak, very tender, very tasty and thought it...

Roni I know different cultures might eat things we don't, and I can respect that...but...for me it's also the idea of eating a horse that disturbs me. Just like, I'm sure there's foods I eat and meats that might disturb people. I just don't feel comfy partaking in...

I love watching the news but really it is enough get off Lance Armstrong !

free_man @free_man (7330) • United States 18 Jan 13

Really I am beginning to hate turning on the news cause all they can talk about is Lance Armstrong. Lets all face it none of us are prefect. There was one and what did humans do to HIM they killed HIM. So the reference is none of...

Roni I can only say this-- Lance has been the hero. The athlete. For some reason, people expect people like him to be perfect. When they start making those "serious" mistakes, that's when there's huge shock and awe. So in that way, the media can't take their...

Subway, the Sandwich Cheaters

NailTech @NailTech (6874) • United States 17 Jan 13

I can't really say I have eaten there but have wanted to. There is a story about this Subway eatery here in the USA that is stating the place is cheating people out of their 12" sub by only making it 11" instead. The story is...

Roni I'm not really shocked. No fast food is ever as big or as perfect as it appears to be. The fact that Subway's 12 inchers are smaller by one inch is really nothing to get up in arms about. I think it's a bit silly. But then again, I usually don't get the bigger...

The red hat that got a smiling response

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 16 Jan 13

A recent discussion about being cheerful reminded me of a hat that I used to wear when it was raining. It was a red plastic one which covered my hair and kept the rain off my face. Whenever I wore that hat people smiled at me! Did...

Roni The one thing that comes to mind would be these awesome pair of fuchsia boots I had as a child. I mean these things were BRIGHT. But then again, it was the early 90's, ha ha ha. They were actually called "shocking pink", but my dad called them "the fuchsia...

Do you think things through before you say anything?

ZoeJoy @ZoeJoy (1392) • United States 15 Jan 13

Do you think things through before you speak or do you just speak out, without giving it much thought? I find that if I have a change to think about something, I usually have a deeper and profound answer. But, I do know some...

Roni I try to edit myself and think before I speak. I don't like to be "that person" who simply says any and everything. I know that works for some people, but I'd rather not take my chances. When I do have the chance to think, I can comfortably come up with...

Playing video games to get a 'sense of accomplishment'

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 15 Jan 13

Roni I am a gamer. Have been since the days of my dad lifting me up to play Pac-Man, and I hadn't the foggiest clue what the heck I was doing at the age of three. I think that the accomplishments in the game can be very fulfilling if you've got a deep love of...

Roni Even though I came from/come from a humble little family, they splurged on little things when I was her age. Now, it wasn't as LARGE and we aren't celebrities, but I think it's pretty common in any financial bracket for parents to reach into their pockets and...

Roni I tried to learn how to play the piano. I got frustrated, gave up, and moved on. I kinda regret letting the frustration get to me. Then, I've secretly wanted to learn how to play the electric guitar and drums. What stops me--reading music.

how often do you change your profile pic on Facebook?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9551) • Philippines 11 Jan 13
