St. Joseph's Pasta
Saint Joseph's Day, celebrated annually on March 19th, is a solemnity in the Catholic Church honoring Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus and husband of Mary. Often falling during Lent, it is marked by special masses, festive food, and, in many traditions, wearing red. It is particularly significant in Sicilian and Italian culture, often featuring "St. Joseph's Tables" to honor the saint. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Aspects of Saint Joseph's Day:
- Significance: It honors St. Joseph's role as a protector of the Holy Family, a humble worker, and a righteous man.
- Date: March 19th is the traditional date. In some cases, such as in 2026, it falls on this day.
- Italian Tradition: It is known in Italy as La Festa di San Giuseppe, which is also celebrated as Father's Day, featuring special pastries called zeppole.
- St. Joseph’s Table: A tradition of setting up elaborate altars with food and offering meals to the community or the needy, originating from a Sicilian promise to thank the saint for ending a drought.
- Symbolism: People often wear red, similar to the green worn on St. Patrick's Day.
- Patron Saint: Joseph is the patron of workers, fathers, families, and a happy death. [2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
From The Vault- BBB
BBBv.11
Of all the crazy things we've done in the past, including Tough Mudders, Savage, and Barbarian Races, the Burpee Mile, Tire Flip 400, the Winter Circus, and more 'Murphs' than can be counted- the Beer, Burgers, and Burpees workout might be the craziest. It's that time of year and we've been getting a few questions about whether or not we'll be doing it again.
From it's innocuous start in 2009, it has morphed into one bad WOD. Let's examine the workout:
Beer and Burpees
For time:
100 Burpees
drink 2 beers
drink 2 beers
75 Burpees
drink 2 beers,
50 Burpees
drink 2 beers
25 Burpees
drink 2 beers
While body weight plays a very big role in caloric expenditure, the average athlete will burn 10 calories per minute while performing good form, quality Burpees.
Initially, only beer was to be consumed between rounds. The average caloric content of 12 ounces of beer is 150 calories. As prescribed, that would be 8 beers. You do the math.
We added burgers in 2010 because a few people didn't drink beer. Like the beer, two burgers between rounds. The average caloric content of a burger is 330 calories. Without the bun brings it down to 193 calories. Again, as prescribed would be 8 burgers. You do the math.
BBBv.2
For time:
100 Burpees
drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
75 Burpees
drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
50 Burpees
drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
25 Burpees
drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
25 Burpees
drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
So, if this workout is done AS PRESCRIBED, and you didn't do the math, the total caloric consumption for this workout could be as much as 3,840. That's almost double the RDA for calories. Minus 'x' for calories burned, that's still a lot of calories.
Is this really a wise choice?
Only a few people have gotten this beast as prescribed and paid the price. Is it worth it? Is the show worth the cost of the ticket? Ask these folks and they'll say, "HELL NO. NEVER AGAIN."
Some of our best work has been a result of poor judgment. A kind of a "best bad decision" thing that in a sick way contributes to the DMBM mentality we love at CFSF.
Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it. That means it's TOYOTA TIME.
So, the answer is a resounding YES! You sick people have chosen to do it again.
BBBv.11 will be held Saturday, March 16 at noon. Sign up sheet on the table.
Only the Burpees are mandatory.
Anything worth doing is worth over-doing.
Anything worth doing is worth over-doing.
