Extending the Life of Cilantro

Oh, Cilantro!*

    People either love you or hate you.

What do I think about you?

     I love you in salsa (but there is always some of you left over that gets soggy and slimy so quickly that I throw much of you away).



So what's a 2nd Best Job in the World guy to do? 

       Why, simply extend your life... immensely!


Take the bunch of fresh cilantro,

place it in a glass of water,

cover with a plastic bag,

and place it in the refrigerator.

 And that's it!  I have kept cilantro fresh for well over a week using this method.

*This also works for fresh parsley.
