Boiled Cabbage Gets St. Paddy's Day Makeover
To accompany corned beef, we forgo boiled cabbage for a slightly fancier (and just as easy) braised version.
St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday that Americans of all backgrounds have embraced wholeheartedly. For some, the celebrations don’t go beyond wearing a green sweater to work or putting green dye in a Budweiser. For others it’s an excuse to make one last hearty winter meal before spring: corned beef and cabbage. [What are your St. Patrick's Day food traditions?

Superstorm Sandy's Ongoing Recovery is a Great Lakes Priority, Levin Says
The economic impact of damage to shipping in Michigan will be felt across the country.
More than four months after Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the Eastern United States, recovery and reconstruction efforts are far from complete. And while most of the attention has rightly focused on the need for aid to areas in the Northeast that were devastated by the storm’s landfall, Sandy’s power was so great that its effects were felt as far west as our own Great Lakes. When Sandy reached land in October, it cut a deadly path across the country. More than 120 deaths are blamed on the storm, and Americans will never forget the scenes of devastation in the storm’s wake. Sandy was not just powerful, it was huge. Hurricane force winds were recorded in an area more than 900 miles across, making it the largest Atlantic Ocean …

Change is in the air. We are only weeks away from the official start of spring and the days already are getting longer. Soon the tree buds will unfurl and the flowers will poke up through the soil to see the sun. Here at Patch, things are changing, too.

EclecticCitizen, Excellent suggestion. Another idea I may add is to date stamp the photo entries. Most importantly, I would be remiss if I failed to thank the Fenton Patch for allowing us this informative venue to share our photos and comments. more ›
