Some of you might be attending Mardi Gras festivities today. Not in our house. We're eating donuts, instead. Fat Tuesday is endearingly known as Fasnacht Day here in Central Pennsylvania. Enter any grocery store, and you'll find stacks and stacks of fasnachts in the bakery.
A Fasnacht, for all of you who are wrinkling your head in confusion, is a lovely donut-like pastry that's made every year the day before Lent starts--it uses a lot of fat in it. Butter, fat and lard are all a part of it's yummy recipe. Even those who don't observe lent are more than happy to pull their weight and eat this dessert.
