Oh I love Latke's. Applesauce and all. I had a damned good friend in the Navy that took me home with him to visit his family in DC over the holidays. The dumb ass flyover country Catholic kid learned some new stuff.
What a great time, his family was amazing and made me right at home. That was probably the real start of my "experiencing" cultures as I traveled. If you want to know folks, sit down and break bread with them. Regardless of how they make it.
That cuts right to the heart of everything. Most would probably get along better if they would do so!
I hope all are having a good holiday, regardless of how you celebrate it, or what you call it.
Sincerely.
Vince and Janice
