Island Sun
... Day in Sicily is St. Joseph's Day. Joseph was a pancake seller when the housing market crashed so pancakes are the food choice for Father's Day. Driving in Italy is quite the experience.

Well this big decision paid off, it was so delicious. All the food in Palermo has been exceptional, Luke’s favourite meal was fetticini with mussels and clams.
