Life Lesson #113: Cinnamon vs. Coriander

Monday, March 10, 2008 | comments (8)
Cinnamon is nice to have on top of a cappuccino. It mixes with the foam and espresso for the perfect blend of morning bliss. Ground coriander, on the other hand, is typically something you might find in a curry or soup. Although in its container ground coriander may resemble cinnamon (the same way poop, under the right set of circumstances, may resemble chocolate) it does not taste at all good when poured liberally over any sort of warm caffeinated beverage. For this reason, it may be wise to keep the cinnamon and ground coriander on separate sides of the spice rack.

Remember this: I do the hard work so ya'll don't have to. Thank me later.

Oh dear, I just shuddered. That had to be a bad scene.

I heart when I am not the only one making poop references. Nicely referenced.

However, like Honey's fear, the root cause of my drawer phobia may indeed have something to do with a general uneasiness when it comes to magic and all things supernatural.
