If you froze cilantro just on its own, without any butter or oil, you can break off a few leaves, and add it to guacamole or cilantro chutney. You do not need to defrost it. You can also use it in salad dressings. Because it already contains oil, you will need to adjust your recipe and use less oil. A single cube of frozen cilantro will contain about a tablespoon of oil. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes for it to thaw. Once it thaws, you can spread it on bread or crackers. Once frozen, cilantro loses some of its crispness. When it becomes defrosted, it will appear wilted and mushy. This may detract from the appearance (and texture) of salsa and salad. Once frozen cilantro starts to thaw, it will begin to look wilted and mushy. If you need to garnish something, consider using fresh cilantro instead. Frozen cilantro won't last forever, although it will certainly last longer than fresh cilantro. Here are some guidelines as to by when you should use your cilantro:  Use frozen cilantro within two months. Use cilantro frozen in oil within three months. Use frozen cilantro butter within a month.

Brush off as much mildew as you can with a scrub brush first, and then spray the umbrella with an equal mixture of vinegar and water on problem areas. Leave the umbrella alone for half an hour to let the mixture soak in and then gently scrub the umbrella to remove whatever mildew is left and spray it down with a hose. Let the umbrella dry out in the sun all day.  Also take these steps, minus the scrubbing, to regularly clean your mildew-free patio umbrella.

Problem: Article: Someone who has been using marijuana may have very red or bloodshot eyes. However, don't rely on this symptom alone as an indication of marijuana use. Red eyes can also be caused by any number of other things, including:  Allergies Illness (such as a common cold) Lack of sleep Recent crying Irritants in the eyes Excessive sun exposure Someone who has recently consumed marijuana may become dizzy or uncoordinated. If they stumble a lot, seem unusually clumsy, or complain of feeling dizzy, these may be signs of marijuana use. Marijuana affects a user's perception of time and can cause their reaction time to be much slower than it is while they are sober. For example, if you are conversing with someone who is high on marijuana, you may need to repeat yourself several times or wait for a long time before they respond to something you have said to them.  Because of their slowed reaction time, people under the influence of marijuana are at high risk of getting involved in accidents if they attempt to drive. If a person who you suspect is high is attempting to drive, you can casually offer to drive for them. In addition to slowing reaction time, marijuana use impairs memory function. Someone who is high on marijuana may have difficulty remembering something that just happened, or they may find it hard to maintain a conversation or train of thought. Marijuana can cause euphoria and uninhibited behavior. A person who is high on marijuana may laugh for no obvious reason or laugh excessively over things they wouldn't normally find that funny. This is especially important to notice if silliness is out of character for the person. Marijuana use can stimulate the appetite. A person who has been using marijuana may get “the munchies” and feel the urge to snack more than usual. While marijuana often creates a relaxing or euphoric effect, it can also cause agitation, anxiety, or delusional thinking. Someone with marijuana-induced anxiety may also experience an elevated heart rate or even a full-blown panic attack.
Summary: Look for bloodshot eyes. Watch for signs of dizziness. Check their reaction time. Make note of memory and concentration problems. Check for excessive giggling or silly behavior. Pay attention to their eating habits. Look for signs of anxiety or paranoia.
