Celebrating Fausnaught Day

Yesterday was Fausnaught Day or the beginning of Lent.  As a child my family who was of Pennsylvania Deutsch decent celebrated this occasion by making doughnuts.  We all gathered in the kitchen and had a merry ole time throwing the dough at each other while mother wasn't looking.  Well, it was only my sister and me, but we had a good time and boy were those doughnuts good!  Can't get them at Dunkin Doughnuts. That's for sure!
