Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Across the World
To view more photos and videos from St. Patrick’s day celebrations, browse the #stpatricksday hashtag on Instagram.
Green-clad, shamrock-decorated and probably drinking a pint of Guinness, people of Irish descent across the world will take to the streets and pubs to celebrate Irish heritage for St. Patrick’s Day on Monday. The first Feast of St. Patrick honored the 5th-century patron saint of Ireland and the arrival of Christianity in the 1600s. Restrictions on eating and drinking for lent are lifted on this day, adding to the merry St. Paddy’s Day atmosphere. This year Ireland also celebrates winning the Six Nations rugby title, after defeating France on Saturday. A public holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland, March 17 is also widely celebrated across the world by enthusiastic expats.
cool photos! :-)

That’s why we have to stand on God’s principles and protect those we love, those around us, from thinking we agree with what will hurt them :) Read the attached tweet again.
Recipe of the Day: Sam Stern's Leek, Tarragon, Cheddar and Sour Cream Tart

My favourite tart; sweet, soft leek works a treat in the creamy cheese base. Using lard in your shortcrust pastry gives it a crumblier texture than all-butter. A top eat with friends and family.

Meet North America’s smallest turtle
… the threatened bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii). This juvenile was found on Wallkill River Refuge in NJ and NY. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service biologist Susi von Oettingen recently talked about it and other species at risk on Fox News Connecticut (see here). Saving these species matters, she said, because they’re part of our conservation heritage. They also could have medical or commercial value.
