It is probably worth taking the spices back if the store will allow it. That way you don't run the risk of it fading or glopping.
As far as cilantro goes, I can handle it in very small quantities. But even then, it significantly reduces my pleasure in a dish. Everyone in my family loves it, which can occasionally make meals awkward. But I guess you probably know all about that.
I'm glad that you are enjoying my story. Actually, that is an understatement. I did manage to contain myself, but I almost did a happy dance when I read your comment. It means a lot to me that a writer of your caliber can say such positive things about my writing. I was a little concerned at first that the story (particularly the notes) wouldn't interest people who don't drink wine, so it is especially nice for me to hear that you find it worth reading. And if you do have a question about wine, I'd be happy to try to answer, but I am afraid that I am coming across as much more knowledgeable than I really am. It is amazing how much you can learn from books, not to mention the internet!
