If/when it is true, I do as well...  but it isn't an automatic thing.

Indeed.  :)

Quite.  ;)

When I know that I need a script, I make sure to get to the doctor.  My
list of potentially needed scripts is quite short, though...

Never heard the name before, but...

 ML> Armenian Cracked Wheat Salad (Eetch)
 ML> cat: salad, tabboulleh, tabouli, tabbouli, etc., Armenian
 ML> 1 c fine (#1) bulgur (cracked wheat)
 ML> 2 Tb olive oil
 ML> 1/2 c water
 ML> 1 md onion, chopped fine
 ML> 3/4 c tomato paste
 ML> 1 bn scallions, chopped
 ML> 1 bn parsley, chopped fine
 ML> 3 ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
 ML> 1/4 c green pepper, chopped fine
 ML> 1/2 ts salt
 ML> Black pepper to taste
 ML> Cayenne pepper to taste
 ML> Juice of 1 lemon
 ML> Romaine lettuce (optional)
  (snip)
 ML> Make sure you buy fine bulgur. There are many types of
 ML> bulgur; coarse is usually used for pilafs while fine is
 ML> used for recipes such as stuffed meat balls (kufta), red
 ML> lentil patties and eetch. The Lebanese version of eetch is
 ML> called tabbouleh in which they use more parsley than wheat.

.. as tabouli, I recognize it just fine...  :)
