 March is what I often call a "swing month." Just like Wednesday is known as "hump day" March is a month that is still winter in some areas but starting to be spring in other areas. There are quite a few holidays in March for us to celebrate so check your calendars so you won't miss anything this year. You'll find recipes in the left column to 3 of these holidays:
March 8: International Women's Day
March 13: Daylight Savings (begins at 2:00 a.m.)
March 15: Ides of March
March 17: St. Patrick's Day
March 20: International Earth Day (or Sun-Earth Day)
March 20: Palm Sunday
March 20: Spring Equinox
March 23: Purim (begins at sundown)
March 25: Good Friday

All the best in food, wine, and travel.
Happy March,

Sally's Recommendations

 Crispy Fruit is simply 100% pure fruit, freeze-dried to perfection, resulting in a light, crispy texture for maximum taste and no mess. It comes in a variety of flavors including tangerine, apple, Asian pear, banana, cantaloupe, mango and pineapple. The freeze-drying process results in a light crispy texture that snacks like a chip, but has all the nutrients of fresh fruit. Crispy Fruit comes in individual, single-serving packets that are easy to pop into lunch boxes, soccer bags, overnight totes and backpacks. Click here to order. $1.49 each or $6.99 for a pack of 6.
 Chosen by the many discriminating French chefs to create their famous baked goods and croissants, Finlandia Imported Butter is a quality butter for baking, cooking and especially, eating. It is made from pure fresh milk from Finnish family-owned farms and contains no added hormones. It is available in salted and unsalted. Click here to order. $3.49 for a 7 oz.package.
 With over 5,000 silicone bristles, the Kuhn Rikon Stay Clean Scrubber cleans dishes, countertops and more, without smelly sponge odors. It's cleaner than a conventional sponge, because non-porpous silicone dries faster and won't harbor bacteria.
