didn't make anything but I did bring a cherry pie from a favorite local bakery to a friend's house for dessert. This is one of those occasions where they make a better pie than I could - all butter lattice crust, tart cherries. That and a scoop of vanilla ice cream - what could be better?

And don't forget- today is all about the soda bread and brown bread of our Irish brethren, and Tuesday, March 19 is St. Joseph's feast day so for us Italians it is cream filled "zeppole"(also depending on which dialect you speak are called "sfingi") - kind of like cream puff dough with a cannoli cream filling . There is also a version with a yellow custard cream filling but my family always served the ricotta (cannoli) based cream.
Some folks are very ambitious and will make those from scratch - but I prefer to purchase mine from one of two favorite local Italian pasticcerias - Lucibello's in New Haven (Mozzicato's in Hartford is just a bit too far for a quick trip) or DiMare in Stamford. I prefer the miniatures ( a misnomer to be sure), since these are pretty rich and the regular size is just too big for one person.,
