Life at the Ashram - Day 12 (aka Cilantro? Never!)

This morning I was in the kitchen. And I got to make my first item. I made the dressing for an asian noodle salad. The dressing was really yummy (ginger, tamari, rice vinegar, oil, red curry paste, honey). I was really excited to try the salad at lunch.

I had put a big heap of it on my plate because it had rice noodles, peppers (but big slices I could pick out), carrots and cucumber. Yum! Then after I dished it out I noticed the greenery. Parsley, I thought hopefully? Then I remembered B chopping that big pile of cilantro. And when I looked at the ingredient list there it was.

I tried to eat the salad but there was just no way. Even picking out the cilantro I could taste it in every bite. I know I've come to love a lot of foods I used to hate (and in several cases that's been in the past 2 weeks). But cilantro? Never!

I think I'll be assigned to the computers for much of the next week. They want myself and another Karma Yogi to take the lead on the computer work we've been doing while the staff are away over the weekend. And then I'm working on a special excel project for a couple days next week. It's good work, but I prefer the food prep or accommodations work.
