A screwdriver, 18 eggs, and an overzealous oven. My culinary preparations for the feast of Saint Joseph were off to quite the start last Monday.
March 19 marked the first yearly feast of Jesus’s foster father, Joseph. For years, I thought it was slightly unfair that so wonderful a saint had only two feast days (the other is May 1), but perhaps this humble man is perfectly happy with the arrangement. He certainly makes good use of the day, as the March 19 festivities are some of my favorites. Catholics are rarely averse to a good party, and in the Schutte home, you can’t have a party without bread.
