OMELETTE RECIPE
1. We fry 3 – 4 large potatoes. We prepare the ingredients we are going to use, we chop the peppers and the onion. We grind feta cheese and cut turkey and yellow cheese. We take 2 eggs and salt and red paprika. When the potatoes are ready, we take them off the frying pan and put them on absorbent paper.
2. We add 2 tablespoons of oil in the frying pan and sauté the peppers. After the peppers have softened, we add the onion and coned pork meats if we wish. When they have taken some colour, we remove them from the frying pan and put them on a plate.
3. Afterwards, we put the potatoes in the frying pan again and spread them a little.
4. We have added a little milk to the mixture
.
5. We toss our sauted ingredients to the potatoes and add the cheese as well.
6. We toss the scrambled eggs with rapid movements and shake the frying pan a little bit to make the mixture spread everywhere. We lower the fire and let it braise.
7. After about 5 minutes, we put a plate on the frying pan and cover it.
8. We put our hand on the plate and press it with force.
9. With a quick movement we turn the frying pan upside down on the plate.
10. Afterwards, we troll the omelette again into the frying pan in order to fry the other side as well.
11. We let it roast and following the above way of turning it over we put it back on the plate.
12.The omelette is ready and well – done. We can add some lemon if we wish.

Italy _19th March Saint Joseph
In Sicily, where St. Joseph is regarded by many as their Patron Saint, and many Italian-American communities,
thanks are given to St. Joseph ("San Giuseppe" in Italian) for preventing a famine in Sicily during the Middle Ages. According to legend, there was a severe drought at the time, and the people prayed for their patron saint to bring them rain. They promised that if he answered their prayers, they would prepare a large feast to honor him. The rain did come, and the people of Sicily prepared a large banquet for their patron saint. T. Giving food to the needy is a St. Joseph's Day custom.
Upon a typical St. Joseph's Day altar, people place flowers, limes, candles, wine, fava beans, specially prepared cakes, breads, and cookies (as well as other meatless dishes), and zeppole. Foods are traditionally served containing bread crumbs to represent saw dust since St. Joseph was a carpenter. Because the feast occurs during Lent, traditionally no meat was allowed on the celebration table.
The altar usually has three tiers, to represent the trinity
Giuseppe I & Giuseppe L
In Italy March 19 is also Father's Day.
