Culture Club

On Friday night we went to my cousin's wedding reception at her family's home on a ski resort.  She and her siblings have grown up overseas, very wealthy, traveling the world and absorbing vast amounts of culture.  Having done so, they have experienced a much broader range of food, art and people than the rest of the family. 

Since they basically grew up in Japan, the buffet at the reception was a bit different than the typical cup of nuts, piece of chocolate and lemonade that we are used to.  I picked up my food, including a couple of pieces of sushi and some wasabi and was headed to sit down when my sweet grandma quietly pulled me aside and whispered, "Don't eat the green stuff, it's not really guacamole."
