  1. I made a patriotic cake to celebrate today.

    Presentation rules, but it fails in the eating. I used to be able to make a really nice sponge cake, but for some reason when I try nowadays, it always comes out rubbery (unless there is chocolate in it). Maybe it's just that I only used the whites and not the yolks so as to have a pure white middle layer. Will have to conduct further experiments.

  6. 🍀 🐠 Have a bite of raw fish today to have #goodluck fishing all year long! A Romanian tradition for #StPatrickDay
    #17March coincides with Alexii in Romania (who wouldn't shut the bug box so the creeters spread all over world!)

  7. No matter where you are in the world or where you come from, today you are as #Irish as we are—because that’s what being Irish is all about: traveling, learning, loving, and caring.

    Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!

  9. Happy St Patrick's Day, when we honor the patron saint of totally amateur alcoholics.

  11. Nothing quite like the luck of the Irish or mischievous magic of the leprechauns for a bit of matchmaking!

  13. Not being Irish but always looking for an excuse to travel vicariously through food, we did not miss the opportunity to celebrate St. Patrick's Day: corned beef with brown-sugar-whiskey-mustard glaze in the slow cooker with Guinness, Boxty (Irish potato pancakes), Irish soda bread made with spelt, and some veggies on the side (albeit a little untraditional due to dietary restrictions). Plenty of leftovers!

  14. Happy #StPatricksDay! As always I had to start off with a #Guinness Draught Stout, before enjoying a #LeftHandBrewing Milk Stout Nitro and a #McMenamins Nitro Irish Stout. All of these are nitrogenated, of course! I hope everyone is having a safe and fun #StPaddysDay and has a great weekend!

  15. #FuneralFactFriday: Bodies Can Turn GREEN 🍀

    Yes, it’s true, and not just on St. Patrick’s Day. It happens when a person with jaundice is embalmed using high index formaldehyde fluids.

    Jaundice is a yellow discoloration found in both living and dead people. It's caused by a buildup of bile pigments in the skin, eyes, bodily fluids, and tissue, often resulting from problems with the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas. A person with liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatitis is often yellow tinged.

    During embalming, formaldehyde can change the yellow bilirubin into green biliverdin. It can range from mild to moderate to extreme. Special embalming fluids (like glutaraldehyde) exist to help mitigate the color issues, but the primary concern is preservation. Color correction is secondary. If the color can’t be addressed with proper fluids and internal dyes, we can use cosmetics and colored lighting to help mask the green.

    Fun fact: old school embalmers perpetuated a belief that we could flush jaundiced bodies with milk before injecting embalming fluid. That’s just preposterous. Don’t do that!

    Do you know what's the worst thing about Irish culture for me?
    Riverdance.
    When I go to hell there will be Michael Flatley sanding 24/7.
    BTW Do you know the ultimate German lucky charm?
    Marzipan pigs. You get lots of them in every size around Silvester / New Year's Eve. They bring luck for the new year. You know, we believe in science and the power of Marzipan pigs.

  21. It’s been hard work every day, so I’m thrilled to announce I’ve gone from 40 percent to 63 percent Irish since last St. Patrick’s Day! #OneYearLater #gains #blessed #StPaddysDay #BeforeAndAfter #grind
