Daylight Savings Time is a lovely holiday, perhaps one of the least celebrated but best loved by all of us who work indoors all day… What a wonderful surprise to leave the office and still have a bit of sunshine to spare! Oh, Spring! You’re finally on the way!!

What you may not know is that Daylight Savings Time also
signifies that zeppole are frying away in the Termini Brothers kitchen. These tasty little treasures are of special
significance to all of us here at Termini's; the recipe was brought here by the
first Joseph Termini from Enna, Sicily and has been a closely guarded family
secret ever since. If you haven’t yet
tried this pastry, it’s worth your time to sample. A fluffy, golden and beautifully swirled
morsel of twice-fried egg dough is filled either with our ricotta and chocolate
chip mixture or with vanilla Italian pastry cream, then topped with a candied
cherry.

The zeppole are traditionally made to celebrate St. Joseph’s Day, patron saint of Italy and all those named Joseph, among other things. Interestingly enough, St. Joseph’s Day is also Father’s Day in Italy, so if you have a special fellow in your life—Father, Brother, Uncle or Husband—stop in to get him a little treat to celebrate him!

Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, know that we
here at Termini Brothers are looking forward to your next visit. Until then, enjoy the daffodils and sunshine!

| Happy St. Joseph's Day!!! |
