cilantro consolation prize

When your cilantro bolts too early, as it will do, sniggering visibly -- eat the flowers. They taste not very much like cilantro, but aromatic, and also sweet.

I had no idea this was such an issue. I planted peas this year, didn't water them, and got about 3 pods. Then I planted some kind of lettuce I got as a giveaway at Pride (??? can't remember the reasoning, growing together as a community?) and am making a point of watering the resultant little sprouts.
