Dear Effie,

This is the opposite of anything remotely close to racism. I love the many cultures of Orthodoxy and the world. I really love the Greek culture in particular. I have even learned to like the food that has a grape leaf wrapped around some other things! I must confess though that at the Greek Festival, there is an instrument that plays on the speakers on the grounds all day, every day. It sounds like a little tinny sounding guitar or mandolin. After a while that thing really gets on my nerves. Initially, when I worked in the Greek coffee booth, as master coffee maker, I loved that instrument. But, after awhile it was like, 'somebody make it stop!' I even heard that instrument when I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep after the festival was over each night. In fact, I think I'm starting to hear it now again! de . .de . . de . . . de . . . dee . . .de . .de . .de . .dee . . de . . . dee-dee . . . de . . . Oh, great . . .

Oh bother . . . I love you too Effie!

In Christ,
Rick

P.S You are lucky you have learned to like Dolmathes. Although my grandmother made the best in the world, I never learned to like them.
They are just in love with vine and branches I think, that's why they came up with that recipe. But I am not crazy about it.
