I ment for this thread, I don't want to burden ya'll with my cooking. Since I became a widower it has been one of the challenges I have had, learning to cook for 1 is not easy.

Me too... I really liked the idea of the zuccini.... one of my favorite veggies. Gonna look for the fries next time I'm in a grocer.

We like zucchini a lot also. I normally cut it lengthwise into 1/4" thick strips and grill it. Since getting an air fryer, I've been cutting it in 3/8" to 1/2" rounds. In both cases, I coat it in olive oil, sprinkle a seasoning mix on it, and let it marinate a few minutes.

There's a lot you can do with zuccini... sometimes I'll cut it and put it in salads raw, or slice it either in rounds or lengthwise and saute it in butter with yellow squash, onions and sometimes I'll throw in a tomato... you can do almost anything to them and they're still good eating.

I like green chile a lot, but I gotta say green chile on Capt. Crunch cereal was kind of a letdown.

I’d give it a try…
We eat savory oats (some kind of hot oats, top with a soft fried egg, some sautéed greens, various hot sauces, etc…) and were just talking about making them with green chiles last week. Kind of different and maybe more palatable

From McCormick.com:
"Fresh cilantro provides a mix of lemon, peppery and pungent taste and for some can even taste like soap due to the natural aldehyde chemicals in the leaves. Dried cilantro provides a more subtle flavor and we recommend using it as a topper on foods."
We like cilantro because we sense the lemon peppery flavor that works well in a salad or as a garnish.
Perhaps those who sense the soapy flavor need their mouths washed out anyway!?

Apparently there's a difference genetically between those who taste the soap and those who don't. I like to think my genetics are just more advanced than those of cilantro eaters.From McCormick.com:

Well. there's this:Apparently there's a difference genetically between those who taste the soap and those who don't. I like to think my genetics are just more advanced than those of cilantro eaters.
Despite cilantro's immense popularity, it curiously holds a soap-like taste for 4% to 21% of people, according to a study by Flavour Journal. That all comes down to genetics, particularly an ability to taste the chemical citronellol in cilantro, which is also a popular soap fragrance, explains Today.
So, one can interpret this to show how "special" cilantro haters are!?
