"St. Joseph's day is Father's Day in Italy because Joseph was the father of Jesus. Different Italian regions celebrate this day differently, but all involve special meatless foods ( because it falls in the Lent season): minestrone, pasta with breadcrumbs (the breadcrumbs symbolize the sawdust that would have covered St. Joseph's floor), seafood, Sfinge di San Giuseppe (which is fried dough stuffed with pudding and topped with cream), and, always, fava beans, which are considered "lucky"
I mentioned she was given a bag of Italian cookies, a prayer book, and a wonderful Italian lunch, but forgot to mention the FAVA BEAN. I recommended she use that lemon to make a big glass of saintly lemonade.
