Louisiana Culture: Sicilian Tradition of St. Joseph's Altar
Louisiana Culture: Sicilian Tradition of St. Joseph's Altar: "This is a lesson from hundreds of years ago, still celebrated today, of what it is to give to others even when you are in your time of need. The act of gratitude has been with us for generations. 9 recipes."
From Denny: I started out writing this for the recipes to place on my Comfort Food From Louisiana blog as just a post. Before I knew it I was researching a centuries old tradition of gratitude and it morphed into an article!
