That even though it's Friday during Lent, we can eat meat today????
I just googled something about St. Joseph's day and found this on Wiki:
'March 19 always falls during Lent and according to Canon law if the feast day falls on a Friday, the obligation to abstain from meat or do penance is lifted.'
So go ahead and eat up today ladies!!!!!!

yep, I have read that. but my Nanny from Sicily (my moms mom) always convinced me that was an 'American' thing, since the traditional St. Jospehs Day meal in Sicily is pasta con sarde. there is no meat in that.
