St. Lucy

Virgin, Martyr (III Class)
Born at Syracuse in Sicily of noble parents, St. Lucy gave herself to Jesus and chose death rather than lose the incorruptible treasure of her virginity, in 303. Her name occurs in the canon of the Mass.

Today was a busy day for all of us! Lisa made 67 chocolate truffles in four varieties: brandy, amaretto, coconut and rum, and coffee and irish cream. UPDATE (by Lisa): After finishing his paper, John set to work making "Nana cookies," with a total of 89. For an explanation of "Nana cookies," visit the Scavone Family Cookbook.




Katie made 64 chocolate chip cookies, with big chocolate chunks (in which Maria seemed rather interested).

And, least interesting of all, I wrote my last paper of the semester (it's all but finished, I just need to look up a reference for a footnote).
