S

aint Patricks Day is a day

synonymous with celebra-

tion. Though Saint Patrickis the patron saint of Ireland, peo-

ple of all ethnicities enjoy the fes-

tivities each March 17. The fol-

lowing are some of the more well-

known Saint Patricks Day cele-

brations around the globe.

New York City. Perhaps the

most famous Saint Patricks Day

parade in the world, New York

Citys annual Pattys Day march

down 5th Avenue has been

around since 1762 and remains amust-see for all fans of Saint

Patricks Day traditions.

New Orleans, Louisiana. While

New Orleans might be most

famous for Mardi Gras and all the

revelry that accompanies it, the

city also hosts a unique and rau-

cous Saint Patricks Day parade.

Just like Mardi Gras, the Saint

Patricks parade in New Orleans

includes floats, jazz bands and, ofcourse, costumed revelers.

Florence, Italy. Saint Patricks

Day celebrations in Florence are

an ongoing event, with 10

days of music,

food and

drink. While

Italian cuisine

is loved the

world over, dur-

ing their Saint

Patricks Daycelebrations the

Florentines offer

their take on

Irish food and

drink, making

this celebration

one of the worlds most unique.

Oslo, Norway. Saint Patricks

Day festivities in

Oslo include a

parade past thefamed Oslo Cath-

edral. Revelers are

encouraged to dress

up, as parade participants dress

up like famous Irish characters

and people throughout Irish his-

tory, including Saint Patrick

himself.

As I write my column, it

is Oscar nightin Hollywood, the

United States and the entire

world. Shirley Bassey per-

formed her James Bond hitGoldfinger from 1964 and

Barbara Streisand, in honor of

the late Marvin Hamlish, paid

tribute with The Way WeWere. Both of these singers hit

the high notes of their careers

with these fine musical compo-

sitions that were brought backto life this evening. Though I

hate to admit it, it was Shirley

who brought down the house

with a standing ovation for thequality of her performance,

strength of her voice and the

command of the stage at age

76. Barbara is only six years her

junior, yet still captivates audi-

ences with the presence of a

deity every time she performs

live on stage. Christopher

Plummer, 84, also a living leg-

end, also made a presentation,

stating he was interested in

making 30 more films with anyof the supporting actresses

nominated for an Academy

Award tonight.

Each of these profession-

als, craftsmen and craftswomen

in their own right and among

the most admired performers in

their field, have proven many

things over the years. Id like to

give you my opinion of some of

what they are, through a finan-

cial planners eyes.Firstly, there is no fear,

hesitation or nervousness in

their performances. Though

well past their prime, they con-

tinue to shine and amaze us

with the brilliance of their exe-

cution of verse, song or dance.

They are confident of their

skills and with the passage of

time, understand the limita-tions they must now endure.

They can no longer reach or

sustain the high notes of their

youth, or they might require a

teleprompter or they might

need help navigating the stairs

to the stage, but in no way will

the audience see them require

any outside aid, or witness any

frailty or compromise in the

level of performance demon-

strating their craft. We ex-pect Shirley, Barbara and

Christopher to be ageless in

voice and forever on stage

entertaining and performing at

a winning competitive level.

I believe they will know

exactly when it will be time toput an end to their careers

before the public decides for

them. Unlike the professional

athlete who might choose to

see the curtain of his career

come down before his very eyes

while rounding second base, a

true professional performer

would never take the risk of dis-

appointing his audience; no, he

would choose retirement first,

leaving us with the memory ofhis past craftsmanship, as not to

disappoint or be embarrassed by

the public spectacle he would

make of himself. We all

remember performers who

went beyond what should have

been their own declared retire-

ment date. (Frank Sinatra for

one.)

Barbara Streisand is one

performer who, I believe, will

never go on stage with less thanher best. A triple threat

throughout her career, she can

sing, act and dance, but she is

also a director and comedi-

enne. She will leave singing in

public behind, if it comes to

that, concentrating on direct-

ing or acting when she gets the

urge to work for a few months.

Another reason she would

never compromise her audi-

ence is because she is financial-

ly independent and has been

for decades. Forbes pegs her networth at $340,000,000 and due

to royalties, she will probably

never drop much below that

figure. Shirley and Christopher

each have made millions of

dollars over their careers and I

hope and trust that their

money is in trust for the hope of

their kids and favorite charities.

This is one area where

even you and I can emulate

these magnificent performers;you might not possess their tal-

ent to entertain, but you can

employ the same financial

planning techniques to

Maximize your income today

while Protecting, Preserving

and Perpetuating your wealth

for tomorrow!

Another reason these

entertainers look so good after

decades in the public eye is

probably because they have lit-tle to worry about financially.

Having no financial stress has

the propensity to increase life

and certainly to make the jour-

ney a lot more pleasant along

the way. Christopher Plummer

said at the Oscars: These

actresses are not overnight sen-

sations; they have been work-

ing on their craft since their

teenage years and will continue

to do so for many more years to

come.

Are his words prophecies,prediction, conjecture or facts

based on personal performance

and experience? Id say all of

those apply to every one of us,

both in our journey through life

and especially with financial

matters. With patience, repeti-

tive rehearsals, discipline, and

investment of your time, ener-

gy and money into that which

you love or require, perhaps

one day you will receive anaward, too maybe not from

Toronto, Canada. Though

just a quarter-century old,

Torontos Saint Patricks

now one of the

largest in North

America.

Featuring more

than 2,000

marchers repre-

senting 100 organiza-

tions, Torontos annual cele-bration of Saint Patrick cov-

ers roughly two miles and

includes floats and lots

of live music.Seattle, Washington. The

city of Seattles Irish Heritage

Club hosts its own

Saint Patricks

Day parade and,

in fact, a week

of celebrations

officially known

as Irish Week. A

two-day Irish festi-

val includes Irish

music, singing and dancingas well as several contests and

activities for kids.

A

father who is afraid to

go the dentist is likely

to pass on his fear tohis children, according to

researchers at Rey Juan Carolos

University in Madrid, Spain.

The International Journal of

Pediatric Dentistry published a

study where 183 Madrid chil-

dren from 7-15 years old, as

well as their parents, rated the

level of fear to dentistry in an

anonymous questionnaire.The data showed that

mothers reported the highest

levels of dental fear and the

researchers concluded that the

greater dental fear is for one

family member, the greater it

would be for the other family

members. They also concluded

that the fathers feelings about

going to the dentist play a hugerole in whether a mothers fear

of the dentist will be passed to

their children.

Children seem to pay

attention to the emotional

reactions of their fathers, if

going to the dentist will be

stressful, said Professor

America Lara-Sacido.

The results point to aneed for dentists to reduce

fathers dental fears by giving

them accurate information on

dentistry, teaching simple

relaxation techniques, or

addressing negative thoughts to

prevent passing dental fears on

to their children. The work

with the parents is key and

teaches them to be relaxed as away of directly influencing

their kids.

Its time to start thinking

about lawn management!

After a cold snowy win-

ter, we are finally just weeks

away from the pleasantness

of spring. Youve probably

got a list a mile long of things

you plan to do with your

yard, whether it be planting

flowers or trimming your

hedges. But as you wait for

the cold to dissipate and the

sun to appear more regularly,

now is the time to think

about fertilizing your lawn.

Believe it or not, early spring

is the time to begin fertiliz-

ing. The first few weeks of

March are prime time for

waking your hungry lawn.

Some experts say that in a

square foot of lawn there is

potential for a thousand

grass plants. Whether your

grass has lacked, or you

wish to improve its density

and life, now is the time to

prepare for spring.

In addition to a fuller

appearance, a well-fed lawn

has healthy roots that will

ultimately combat drought,

heat, foot traffic, mowing,

and other stresses that may

occur. Well-established

grass and turf areas also help

to control soil erosion with

their extensive root system.

Fertilizer contains nitrogen,

which is the most important

nutrient

c o m p o -

nent in a

lawn. In

order to

maintain the

highest quality

of turf, each type of

grass requires different

amounts of nitrogen. Gro-

Rite Garden Center in

Lincoln Park has several

varieties of fertilizer avail-

able, including Scotts 4-Step

Program, which is a four-

times-a-year fertilization

regimen for your lawn. Be

sure to water your lawn

after fertilizing, as fertiliz-

ing a dry lawn can be feu-

dal!

For more information

and tips for fertilizing your

lawn, visit Gro-Rite Garden

Center in Lincoln

Park. In addition

to a variety of

fer t i l i zat ion

p r o g r a m s

there are gar-

dening sup-

plies, herbs,

flowers, annu-

als, and trees

are available.

It seems that we all sur-

vived the fiscal cliff leg-

islation that was finalized

early in 2013. Small business-

es survived especially well,

with many of the prior ben-

eficial tax provisions extended

into 2013 and beyond. Here

are a few of those business pro-

visions that you should be

aware of as a business owner.

Asset expensing. This

provision allows businesses to

fully expense the purchase of

many assets (such as equip-

ment, furnishing, technology,

etc.) in just one year, rather

than being required to depreci-

ate (deduct) their cost over a

number of years. Up to

$500,000 of these purchases

can be immediately expensed

in the year of purchase.

Bonus depreciation. If you

hit your expensing limit, you

can always fall back on bonus

depreciation, which allows you

to deduct 50 percent (and

sometimes more) of certain

types of assets in the first year

of purchase. This provision

was set to expire at the end of

2012, but has now been

extended through 2014.

Work opportunity tax

credits. These are tax credits

(which are much more valu-

able than tax deductions)

available to employers who

hire certain individuals. They

include military veterans, peo-

ple receiving government

assistance, or those living in

distressed areas. These credits

were set to expire, but have

now been extended through

2013.

Qualified improvement

depreciation. Under these

provisions, restaurant, retail

and other rental property

improvements can qualify for

15-year depreciation, rather

than the required 39-year

depreciation rate. But note

that these provisions are set to

expire at the end of 2013.

Health care tax credit. If

you pay medical insurance pre-

miums for your employees, you

could be allowed a tax credit for

a portion of premiums paid.

tax breaks now available for

your business, contact our

There are four main

underlying causes for

canine allergy symp-

toms. Effective dog allergy

treatment has been developed

for them, but because all of

these reasons produce com-

mon symptoms, various tests

may be necessary to determine

which allergen is provoking a

reaction. Standard methods of

treatment are successful in

controlling most cases. Some

especially severe conditions

may require the use of steroids

or immunotherapy.

The two most common

causes of allergic reactions are

atopic (that is, inhalants)

mainly dust mites, pollen,

mold and mildew and aller-

gens that are present in flea

saliva. The symptoms of an

allergy are most commonly

caused from inhaling an anti-

gen, or a substance which

causes the production of anti-

bodies. Studies show that in

excess of 40 percent of

canines react to the offending

substances in flea bites.

Reasons that more rarely

produce responses are allergies

to food or of the skin. The

foods that are most likely to

cause symptoms are the same

foods that are the most com-

mon ingredients in commer-

cial food recipes. Certain fun-

gal infections, that is, mange

or ringworm, should be ruled

out if they are suspected. Skin

conditions that originate from

exposure to noxious sub-

stances are irritant or allergic

contact dermatitis. These rare

conditions are responses to

irritating chemicals or other

antigens.

Complicating a specific

diagnosis as to exactly what

antigens are to blame is the

fact that the same symptoms,

itching and skin problems,

characterize the different

types of disorders. Vomiting

and diarrhea may indicate a

food allergy, and continuing

ear problems or increased

bowel movements are other

possible signs. A food trial, in

which the pet is placed on a

novel food diet for twelve

weeks, is the method used to

isolate the food responsible.

Avoidance of the aller-

gen is a common strategy to

reduce symptoms for food,

flea, atopic and skin problems.

By removing and then rein-

troducing suspected allergens

one at a time, one may discov-

er the cause. Restricting pets

to a clean, uncarpeted room

and keeping them away from

possible allergens is called an

exclusion trial. Slowly intro-

ducing possible causes, includ-

ing rubbing a substance such

as grass on the paw, will help

to identify them.

There are some other

ways to remedy your pets

allergies. Add Omega-3 fatty

acids to their diet.

This is fish or flax oil

and they assist in

reducing the effects

of histamines, which

are responsible for

the itching and skin

conditions. If the

fatty acids do not

take effect in a few

weeks, antihistamine drugs,

originally designed for

humans, can also work for

canines.

Topical therapy, which

involves treating the skin

with anti-itch ointments,

shampoos, rinses or sprays

often have good results, but

these offer temporary relief.

Shampoos containing hydro-

cortisone are also used. Biotin,

a B-vitamin, has also shown

positive results for some pets.

When none of the above

methods is adequate for dog

allergy treatment, steroids

produce good results, but are

not recommended for long-

term use because immune or

endocrine system problems

may develop over time.

Immunotherapy, involving

allergy skin testing and a

series of injections, is a highly

successful approach for most

animals. This therapy takes a

dedicated pet owner, but

results in significantly reduced

reactions to allergens.

Everyone is a little Irish

come St. Patricks Day,

and children are no

exception. While kids cant

indulge in some of the spirits-

induced revelry that accompa-

nies the festivities this holi-

day, there are many things lit-

tle ones can do to have a good

time on St. Patricks Day.

Dress in green: Encourage

kids to dress and accessorize

in all shades of green. For

even more flair, they can use

face paint to draw shamrocks

on their cheeks and hands.

Crafts: From paper four-leaf

clovers to homemade lep-

rechaun hats and belt buck-

les, children can get in the

spirit by fashioning crafts

that correspond with the

theme of the day.

Treasure hunt: Send little

leprechauns in search of gold

at the end of the rainbow.

Like an Easter egg hunt, hide

gold-wrapped chocolate

coins around the house and

set kids off to find the treas-

ure.

Blarney Stone toss: Play a

game of hot potato to Irish

music using a garden rock to

serve as the Blarney Stone.

When the music stops, the

person holding the stone is

disqualified.

Coin toss: Set up a pot or

hat and see how

many coins each

child can toss into

the hat. The one

who gets the most

in the hat wins.

Freeze dance:

Play Irish music

and children have

to freeze when

the music is shut

off. If someone

moves, he or she

has to sit out.

Baking specialties: Invite

the kids to help bake some

delicious treats, such as cup-

cakes with green frosting or

Irish soda bread.

Children celebrating St.

Patricks Day can do so in a

number of fun ways.

Happy St. Patricks Day from Life & Leisure

In the nearly three decades

that we at Boston Louis

Jewelers have been in busi-

ness, the one common desire

couples have always had when

choosing an engagement ring

is for it to be unique. While

there has been a return of

art into jewelry designs in

the past 10 years or so, most

engagement rings in stores are

still mass-produced and are

one-of-many in a series,

instead of one-of-a-kind.

Throughout history, jew-

elry has been made by hand or

by manufacturers who had

more of a regional influence.

As a consequence, most

engagement rings up to about

50 years ago are more apt to be

of that one-of-a-kind type.

But over the years, so many of

those have been either broken

apart for their intrinsic value

or they were redesigned into

more fashionable pieces for

the decades that followed. As

a result, as time goes by, fewer

and fewer of these rings are

available.

Another factor adding to

the uniqueness of an antique

or vintage engagement ring is

how the diamonds were cut.

While the process of cutting

diamonds today is aided by

lasers and computers, dia-

monds and gemstones back

then were cut completely by

hand and eye. Each gem was

a product of the cutters indi-

vidual talent in analyzing the

rough stone, and then through

the process of cutting and pol-

ishing, maximizing its innate

beauty.

By rough definition,

for a piece of jewelry

to be considered an

antique it must be

100 years old or

more. The term

vintage means

indicative of a cer-

tain period or era.

Some sought-after periods

are Victorian, Edwardian and

Art Deco. These terms

developed years later after

certain distinctive character-

istics of those eras became

identifiable.

Victorian pieces were

made in yellow or rose gold

and often contained symbols

or motifs that at the time

were associated with expres-

sions of eternal love, such as

interlocking hearts, initials

or serpents. This is also

where the three stone rings

so popular today originated.

Enamels, deep engraving and

seed pearls were also charac-

teristic of the Victorian Era.

The diamonds of this period

are what we now call old

mine or old miner cuts,

which were of a squarish-

round shape and were the

predecessor to what is sold

today as a cushion cut.

The Edwardian

period brought light

and delicate designs

in platinum and

white gold that

reflected the femi-

nine fashions of that

time. Designs utilized

open filigree work with

hand-engraved patterns, mil-

graining and accents of tiny

diamonds.

Art Deco designs incor-

porated the geometrical and

symmetrical lines found in the

architecture of that period in

both the forms of the jewelry

and the cuts of the stones as

well. Vibrant rubies, emeralds

and sapphires added contrast

to the stark white of the dia-

monds and metals used.

Each of these periods

offers a beautiful option for

those looking for a truly

unique engagement ring. At

Boston Louis Jewelers in

Pequannock, we have a wide

selection of vintage, estate

and antique engagement rings

priced from around $190 and

up. We also have many dia-

monds and gemstones from

these periods for those who

would like either to replace

stones lost from family heir-

looms or to pair an old dia-

mond with a history with a

modern setting.

This information is

brought to you by Boston

Louis Jewelers, located at 151

Newark Pompton Turnpike in

Pequannock. Call us for our

store hours at 973-694-9073.

Music is an integral

element of many of

lifes special events.

The score of a movie can carry

a film, and a tender song can

bring tears to a persons eyes

during a stage production.

Many couples spend lots of

time choosing a song for their

first dance at their wedding.

While that song is significant,

couples should devote lots of

time to choosing a band or

deejay for the reception as

well.

Statistics compiled from

a variety of sources, including

USA Today, TheKnot.com

and Brides magazine, point

out that roughly 80 percent of

guests say the thing they

remember most about a wed-

ding is the entertainment.

When asked, many couples

admit they wish they spent

more time and money choos-

ing their wedding entertain-

ment.

Music helps make memo-

ries and gets guests on their

feet. Those who enjoy them-

selves most at the wedding are

often the people who are on

the dance floor. It is important

to note that price shouldnt be

the deciding factor for wedding

day entertainment. It is crucial

to see the entertainment

provider in action to judge for

oneself just how good he or

she is.

One of the best ways to

witness a deejay or band in

action is to attend a wedding

where they will be working.

Find out if you can spend a lit-

tle while peeking into a wed-

ding and gauge guests respons-

es to the music and find out

how the entertainment

engages the crowd. The enter-

tainer may be able to arrange

this with a couple from an

upcoming wedding so that you

dont necessarily have to crash

the wedding. If a musical

entertainment company is

wary of letting you see players

in action, it may be an indica-

tion to look elsewhere.

Another good way to see

for yourself if the entertain-

ment factor is high is to pay

attention to the bands and

deejays used at weddings you

attend. If you are planning

nuptials in a year or the

months to come, take the cards

or information of the enter-

tainers you come across at wed-

dings and any special event

parties. If there is someone

who is doing an impeccable

job, there should be no hesita-

tion to hire that person for

your own wedding. Dont be

embarrassed to ask a friend or

family member for the name

and number of their deejay.

If you have specific music

requirements, such as cultural

music or certain versions of

songs you prefer to be played, it

is key to

discuss this with the deejay or

band ahead of time and con-

firm they can meet your needs.

Certain wedding vendors may

promise you the world but fail

to deliver. Ask the deejay for a

playlist to see his or her selec-

tions for the wedding. Find out

if the band has a compilation

they can send to you so you

can see how they sound per-

forming some of the more pop-

ular songs typically played at

wedding receptions.

If you like a particular

band or deejay, double-check

that the people you see playing

are actually the ones who will

be performing at your wed-

ding. Many times performers

are part of larger companies

that have many people work-

ing under one name. If youre

not careful, you may not get

the same performer you had

hoped for. Request specific

individuals if you want to guar-

antee that the music will be

what you heard at a previous

wedding or during a trial per-

formance.

Music can make or break

a wedding reception. Invest

ample time into selecting and

trying out vendors to ensure

fun is to be had by all.

Anello fence, located

at 50 Route 23 is

proud to carry on

through 50 years of fences

within the Anello family.

Anello Fence invites local

residents and customers to

celebrate with the fourth gen-

eration. To understand our

business, I think its impor-

tant to take a look at where

we came from and how the

family has progressed over the

last 50 years, says Steve

Anello, owner of Anello

Fence (not affiliated with any

other company).

As immigration began to

taper off in the mid-1950s, a

key local character found his

way onto American soil from

his homeland of Italy. Emilio

Anello, Sr. came to the

United States in 1956 and

began working for a local

company in the fence indus-

try. Little did he know, this

move would set the pace for

the rest of his life and impact

his family for generations to

come. Shortly after breaking

into the fence industry,

Emilio was joined by his

brother Joseph and his father

Salvatore Anello. Seven

years later, on Route 23 in

Wayne, Anello Bros, Inc. was

born. Emilio Anello, the

founding father of Anello

Bros., Inc. and the person

responsible for making the

Anello name synonymous

with fences, came to America

in search of an opportunity;

he is the very embodiment of

what the American dream

looks like, says Steve Anello,

Emilios son.

Over the course of the

next decade and a half, the

company outgrew its Wayne

location and moved to a larg-

er location. Salvatore would

travel between New Jersey

and his hometown in Italy

frequently to accommodate

his Italian real estate business

while playing an invaluable

role in his sons fence compa-

ny until 1968 when he

retired.

Throughout the years,

Anello Bros., Inc. improved

their trade, constantly push-

ing to remain a frontrunner in

the fencing industry. Anello

was not only the largest retail

fence establishment in

Northern New Jersey, but also

was a major wholesale suppli-

er to many other fence com-

panies in the Northeast. In

1967, Emilio and Joseph pur-

chased and ran a saw mill in

Vermont to manufacture their

own wood fences. The saw

mill supplied not only their

store but many other fence

companies, and ultimately

many homeowners. 1974

brought on the addition of

self-manufactured chain link

fences by running three

machines twenty-four hours a

day. Finally in 1999, Steve

Anello began fabricating

PVC fences as the very first in

the area to do so. Currently

Anello is one of North

Jerseys largest suppliers of the

product and now runs

three PVC machines daily.

Today Anello Fence, LLC

owned by Steve Anello offers

several additional fencing

varieties like arbors, mailbox-

es, mailbox posts, bamboo

T

here are many differ-

ent ways to convey

feelings of affection.

Some people pen poetry, oth-ers bestow gifts, while still

others feel moved by music

and lyrics. Songs have long

been a popular way to convey

emotions, and love songs

have been performed by

artists from nearly every

musical genre at some point

in time.

Although music is sub-

jective, some love songs have

stood out as fan favorites.Commonly featured at wed-

dings or as the backdrop on

romantic evenings, the fol-

lowing songs are considered

some of the more popular

love songs of all time.

Love Theme From A Star

Is Born (Evergreen): This

Barbara Streisand classic

from the hit film helped

Streisand earn both an

Academy Award for BestSong from a Motion Picture

and Grammy Award for

Song of the Year.

Up Where We Belong:

Few people can forget the

ending scene of An Officerand a Gentleman when

Richard Gere sweeps Debra

Winger off of her feet. The

song Up Where We Belong

by Jennifer Warnes and Joe

Cocker from the movie will

always be a romantic favorite.

All My Life: Former

Jodeci membe rs K-Ci and

JoJo creat ed an enduring

romantic song with this pop

hit.Save the Best for Last:

This song became Vanessa

Williams signature song and

a smash hit.

Be With You: Soul singer

Mary J. Blige emphasizes

sticking with the one you

love by being loyal.

I Do It for You: This

Bryan Adams hit was nomi-

nated for an Oscar as the

theme for the 1991 filmRobin Hood: Prince of

Thieves.

Ill Make Love to You:

This Boyz II Men song was

one of the longest-running

No. 1 hits of all time.Lovesong: The Cures

Robert Smith penned this

song as a present to his wife,

Mary, in 1988.

Sweet Love: Anita Bakers

soulful hit helped turn her

from a budding R&B singer

into a household name.

Love Me Tender: His

good looks and gyrating hips

helped thousands of women

fall in love with Elvis Presley.However, this signature love

song endeared the famed

crooner to many others.

My Heart Will Go On:

Celine Dions theme from

Titanic became one of the

most popular love songs of all

time after the films 1997

Corned beef is a St.

Patricks Day staple.However, those who

may not have dined on corned

beef brisket may be unaware as

to exactly what the cut of meat

entails. Is it covered with corn?

Why is it pink in coloring?

Learning about the food can

shed light on the mystery.

Corned beef is reminis-

cent of the foods once enjoyed

before refrigeration was pre-

dominant. In order to preventfoods from spoiling, meats were

often packed in salt or brine to

inhibit the growth of mold and

bacteria. The corned in

corned beef likely refers to the

nuggets, or what the English

called corns of salt, and other

spices used in the brine recipe.

Corned beef became pop-

ular among Jewish and Irish

immigrants in the United

States. The Irish ate cornedbeef in their native land when

there were lean times and wide-

spread famine. To harken back

to those days, corned beef isoften served as a reminder on

St. Patricks Day, a day of cele-

bration in Ireland and for peo-

ple of Irish descent all across

the globe.

Corned beef is usually

boiled, with or without cabbage

and other vegetables, which

makes it more tender and palat-

able. It also dissipates the salty

brine. The corned beef is then

served with the cabbage andvegetables, oftentimes carrots

and potatoes.

Corned beef brisket is

rarely roasted because it is a

tough cut of meat. It can be

smoked, however. Smoked

corned beef is known as pastra-

mi, and is a staple for deli-

catessen sandwiches.

Most of todays corned

beef is processed without

nitrates, which used to be usedas a preservative against botu-

lism and to maintain the bright

red color. Nitrates may be can-cer-causing agents, so limiting

their consumption is often

advised. The brisket may be

packaged as a point cut or a

flat cut. The point cut is

rounder and has more fat. The

flat cut is leaner.

Corned beef can be

cooked in a pot of boiling water

for 3 to 5 hours to help tender-

ize the meat. Look for briskets

that are cut across the grain sothat they will be easier to chew.

What is Corned Beef?

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375

degrees F. Line a sheet pan with

parchment paper.

Combine the flour, sugar,

baking soda, and salt in the

bowl of an electric mixer fitted

with the paddle attachment.

Add the butter and mix on low

speed until the butter is mixedinto the flour.

With a fork, lightly beat

the buttermilk, egg, and orange

zest together in a measuring

cup. With the mixer on low

speed, slowly add the butter-

milk mixture to the flour mix-

ture. Combine the currants

with 1 tablespoon of flour and

mix into the dough. It will be

very wet.

Dump the dough onto awell-floured board and knead it

a few times into a round loaf.

Place the loaf on the prepared

sheet pan and lightly cut an X

into the top of the bread with a

serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55

minutes, or until a cake tester

comes out clean. When you tap

the loaf, it will have a hollow

sound.

Cool on a baking rack.

Serve warm or at room tem-perature

INGREDIENTS

4 cups all-purpose flour, plusextra for currants

4 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick)

cold unsalted butter, cut into

Awedding cake is a

crowning finale to a

momentous wedding

day. Couples spend hundreds of

dollars on tiered confectionarycreations, which provide great

photo opportunities and even

better desserts.

Though a wedding cake is

a traditional component of

wedding celebrations, profes-

sional bakers may charge any-

where from $2 to $6 per guest

for the average cake. That

could mean spending upwards

of $900 for a cake to feed 150

guests.There are many reasons

why cakes may be so expensive.

For instance, the equip-

ment used to bake cakes

does not come cheaply.

Ingredients, such as butter,

high-quality flours, chocolate,

real vanilla, and others tend to

have high price tags.

Furthermore, the time that

goes into baking and then intri-

cately decorating the cake addsup to quite a bit of labor. For

couples who prefer not to spend

too much on a cake, there are

ways to save money and still

savor a delicious dessert.

Ask a local bakery or restau-

rant if the pastry chef will cre-

ate your wedding cake.

Oftentimes, bakers who do not

specialize in wedding cakes will

make a cake at a much lower

cost than bakeries known fortheir wedding cakes. If you

adore a dessert at a particular

restaurant, ask to have it dupli-

cated.

Commission an amateur

baker, such as a friend or familymember, to make your cake.

There are many budding cake

artists out there, several of

which have the cursory skills to

create a delicious and aestheti-

cally appealing cake. Friends

or family members may even

make the cake for little or no

cost.

Keep decorations and flavors

to a minimum. The more

embellishments and designs

you put on the cake, the more

expensive it will be. Stick to

the basics, and the cake wont

cost as much.

Look into culinary schools in

your area. A student pastry chef

commitment to friends.

You Are So Beautiful: JoeCocker makes the list again

with this soulful 1975 hit.

Have I Told You Lately:

Originally written and re-

corded by Van Morrison, this

song gained new life and

notoriety when recorded by

Rod Stewart.

My Girl: Beloved R&B

group The Temptations deliv-

er a song about sunshine on a

cloudy day in this classic.

I Will Always Love You:

Witten and performed by

Dolly Parton, this song is per-haps most known for the ver-

sion performed by Whitney

Houston for the soundtrack

of her 1992 film The

Bodyguard.

Time After Time: A song

of devotion, Cyndi Lauper

earned her first No. 1 single

with this hit.

Hey There, Delilah: A

simple song of young love by

the Plain White Ts.

Unchained Melody: The

Righteous Brothers delivered

the best-known version of thissong, which helped create

movie magic between Patrick

Swayze and Demi Moore in

the 1990 film Ghost.

Just the Way You Are:

Billy Joels classic in which he

tells his beloved she is perfect

as-is.

Your Song: A simple, elo-

quently written song of love

from Elton John.

Question: Why is

renters insuranceimportant?

Answer: Renters insurance

provides coverage for the per-

sonal content you own. It pro-

tects extensively, ranging from

your socks to your MacBook

Air. Specialty items such as

antique jewelry, musical instru-

ments, collectors items, even

handguns can have separate

floaters or increased coverage.

With your renters policy,you will have liability coverage,

as well. Lets say, for example,

that its the week after your

wonderful Super Bowl collo-

quy. You receive a hand-deliv-

ered notice letting you know

that youve been served

because that mysterious patron

at your gathering ended up in

the hospital from the fall he

sustained in your home while

he was extremely intoxicated.With renters insurance, you

have a policy that will keep

your savings or future wages

pretty well secured.

The gem for a renters

policy is that your personal

belongings anywhere around

the world are covered. If you

are vacationing in Jamaica

and your Dooney & Bourke

suddenly grows the feet of a

track star, it is still covered.The outlay for a renters

policy is very minimal, while

the protection is very vast.

Whether renting an apart-

ment with eight other neigh-

bors on your floor, or renting a

private dwelling with your

own backyard, renters In-

surance is a very wise invest-

ment.

From apartment fires to

the random burglary, aftersomething bad happens is not

the time to secure your

belongings. Contact me today

and lets protect the legacy

you build.
