Ethnic heritage days or months are feel-good moments. When those are over it's back to normal and being suspicious of each other. Obama's speech yesterday was good but will it make people think?

I improvised a sort of "Dublin Mudslide" filling for chocolate cupcakes and he actually called to say thanks. wow. I'll have to write that recipe down. long ago I knew someone who celebrated by planting a patch of leaf lettuce on St. Patrick's Day. she said it always came up in about 6 weeks and was her first garden crop. maybe there was more to that ritual than she could say. the dear birthday boy is many miles away today, but we arranged for a care package to be delivered by a big sister.

Getting to feel multicultural without any effort or understanding is a side benefit. God forbid people should sit and reflect. Go out, spend money and be a good American. It IS all about marketing.
