By some of the lists I'd guess that a number of people like cooking a lot of pasta/Italian based foods.

Gail, Aaron, Tess

Cilantro and Cumin also populates a few lists.

No one has Turmeric--not many curry fans? Or does everyone here prefer coconut milk based curry?

FYI: Turmeric is a colorant that has no flavor, like paprika.

Here are some more herbs you might have left off your list:

Tobacco
Wintergreen
St. John's Wort
Citronella/lemon grass

I like both kinds of curry, but I thought turmeric was a spice, not an herb. Could be wrong there. Also, my paprika does have flavor, albeit not strong flavor, more of a very mild pepper. I'm fairly certain it is normal run-of-the-mill paprika.

Maybe we could use our turmeric to make turmeric paper and test for alkalis or boric acid.

Since we are still discussing herbs in here, I have a question for all of you. Do you pronounce it "herb" like the guy's name, or "erb" with the h silent? I always thought it was "erb", but I was watching Martha Stewart (who annoys the crap out of me) at 2 o'clock this morning, and she was calling them "herbs." So, tell me, how do you say it?

I have always pronounced it "erb" (with the h silent)... does anyone know if the pronounced H is used in England as opposed to the US?

whoops! Pardon me for leaving out the Canadians! Is there any Canadian verdict here on "herb" or "erb"?

Either way is correct. Brits use the H, while Americans usually don't. Canadians, speak up.

By the way, the bounds of reality are changing. I've heard people lately say the following:

"sheeps"
"I could care less"
"irregardless"
"have your cake and eat it too"

- - - all of which are wrong.

"I could care less." I'm so glad someone else sees that as wrong. I always thought (and said) "I COULDN'T care less."

Why is "have your cake and eat it too" wrong? That's the only way I've ever heard that phrase spoken....

It's lost all practical meaning I'm afraid.

The phrase is actually: "Eat your cake and have it too." In other words, people who desire the world want to eat up their cake, but still have it (to eat later).

Anyone can have their cake, and then eat it.

It's eating it up, and then still having it afterwards that is the impossibility.

...unless it's a urinal cake and then who would want to eat that under any circumstances?

I never knew that...great, another thing to bug the crap out of me. My personal top o' the list annoyance is when someone asks, "Where you at?" on the phone. NEVER END A SENTANCE WITH A PREPOSITION!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGG!!

Zeb, you are a silly goofball. It might be a delicacy, o.k.?

I'm afraid we got a bit off the subject there for a minute!

We certainly got a lot of participation on this list, I guess everybody likes herbs!

Here are the five best herbs:

1. Basil
2. Rosemary
3. Oregano
4. Cilantro
5. Marijuana

Rosemary and Basil were tied; Marijuana beat out Chamomile by one vote.

Don't think this has been done yet?


5 best "moments" ever on a movie?


1) in the 6th sense when Bruce Willis realized what the boy meant by "I talk to dead people" (can't explain further in case someone has not seen it)

2) When the main character "GOT" the better of the warden in The Shawshank Redemption

3) When the "director" - said QUE THE SUN! - in The truman show

4) "We traced the call it's coming from inside the house" (don't remember the name of that movie)

5) Mel Gibson - getting out of the "time machine" in the buff - in Forever YUM - I mean Forever Young.

I think that's too difficult of a list.

By the way, that Gibson film is also known as 'Forever Facelift'.
