Nobody Knows But Me

Overheard at Trader Joes' today.

Salesman pushing his yogurt/cilantro dip: "Try This"

Customer #1 "I can't, I'm allergic to cilantro".

Customer #2 " I don't do dairy".

.

Ah, us.

And the opening salvo in a 2 week long obsession with all things green:  we dye our rivers and our hair, we paint our faces and our streets,we wear "Everybody Loves An Irish Girl" shirt and  listen to The Chieftains.


Erin Go Bragh.

You heard it here first....

    Looks like you are planning an entire month of green. I can live with that! Hope some of it is even in my garden.

    Then let's all find the gold at the end of the rainbow! xoxo

    Somehow, my convent boarding school upbringing leaves me cold about St P.

    Mysterious!

    Lovely photos of green, but I especially like your post, "Love Among the Stacks" and linked to it in my post "Confessions of a Bookworm" at heatherswaterworks.blogspot.com

    Ahhhh...St. Patty's Day. Never one of my favorite "holidays". That and Cinco de Mayo. Something about a "holiday" that is all about drinking seems sort of...silly? Maybe I just don't get it because I don't have even one drop of Irish blood?

    Following up on Shelley's (Bow Street Flowers) comment about an allergy to cilantro. Don't know if anyone is really allergic to it, but some folks have a gene that makes certain things taste odd. Cilantro tastes like soap (as in Ivory) to these folks. Yes, you guessed it, I am one of them

    Perhaps if he were wearing a leprechaun hat he would do better?
