For those of you not in PA Dutch country, Fastnacht Day is that special time of year where everyone in this part of Pennsylvania eats these amazing deep fried donuts called Fastnachts. The original idea of making them, I think, was to use up all of the sugar and lard in the house before Lent, when you aren't allowed to eat anything good or have any fun. Supposedly, eating Fastnachts also brings you good luck, but the only thing I've got out of them is the spare tire around my waist.
