Hey it's Foodie Friday!

I love Cilantro, Tomatoes, and garlic..here's a quick tasty recipe when expected company calls......Cilanto or Coriander is considered an aid to the digestive system. It is an appetite stimulant and aids in the secretion of gastric juices. A poultice of Coriander seed can be applied externally to relieve painful joints and rheumatism. According to Herbs & Herb Gardening by Jessica Houdret, the seeds can be mixed with violets for a remedy for a hangover.
