Happy St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s day is a celebratory religious feast day and anniversary of the patron saints death in the fifth century. This holiday has been observed for over 1,000 years. Falling during the Christian Lent season, Irish families traditionally went to church services in the morning and would party in the afternoon. The Lenten tradition of not eating meat were relaxed so people could eat, drink, dance, and be merry. The customary meal of the day was a plate of Irish bacon and cabbage.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world. The Irish have made their mark in just about every region of the globe. They even celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the Caribbean to honor all the Irish that came as indentured servants and immigrants. Enjoy a round up of many things epicurean Irish. Celebrate spring and find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or at least in your kitchen.

Ringing In Norouz, A Time For Family And Good Eats
It’s the first day of spring, and for most people, that means, longer days outside, getting out the garden tools, and the beginning of barbecue season. But for Iranian-Americans and for others from the Middle East, Central and South Asia, today is the beginning of a New Year.
The holiday is called Norouz. In Persian, it literally means a “new day.” It’s seen as a time of rebirth and renewal, and like most holidays, Norouz is all about spending time with family, and eating lots of great food.
