In ”The Lives of Saints” I re-read the part about “Santa Pane Tropo Tostado” (Saint Too-Toasted), who was the patron saint of burnt breakfasts, so I could help my sister with her Saints Day themed kids party. The beloved saint carried a small piece of burnt bread with her at all times as a sign of her humility. The rock hard toast was concealed under her fashionably tiny wimple so that the 16th century Italian crows, who were notoriously vicious, wouldn’t steal it. We made little costume wimples for the kids out of Dixie Cups, and scorched half a loaf of gluten free, allergy free, cruelty free Wonder Bread. My sister and our mom got everything organized with the “Black toast under the Dixie wimple” concept, and made sure the kids had edible treats for the party as well. Now I have to come up with a suitably quaint costume to make my surprise entrance as “The Crow”.
