Yay icons! 9 is very cute.

I have to go back and comment on your recent posts - I kept leaving it til later :p

Thanks. :3

Haha, take your time. No pressure.

Also, do you know what fausnaughts are? This question is very important to me!

showercapfrog February 24 2009, 20:32:27 UTC

No, I don't. I don't want to google it either :P It would be cheating!

They're doughnuts! It's this weird PA Dutch thing. Apparently they originally started making doughnuts in order to get rid of all the butter/lard before Lent. The tradition sort of stuck. My church back home is the main provider of said doughnuts and they're a REALLY BIG DEAL. Seriously, people come from New Jersey and Maryland just to get them from St. Cecilia's.

But no one knows about 'em where I am now (about four hours away from home).

Huzzah! I had a feeling you'd know if anyone did.

I was like HORRIFIED to find that Fausnaughts are not a world-wide phenomena. Seriously, they are like A REALLY BIG DEAL back home.

Also, pork and sauerkraut for New Year's!

Seriously, PA Dutch food is awesome. Also, there's this magical place in Lebanon that makes pretzels in a little brick oven and they're only open on magical days and you have to go really early to get them because they sell out super fast.

And Chicken Pot Pie in the PA Dutch way. Yum!

I've never actually had shoofly pie, I've heard of it of course, but have never tried it.

I'm going to have nightmares about #2. D: (I think it's the angle that's tipping it for me. And I think that was your intention.)

I *don't* know what Fausnaughts are but my stepmom's from Reading so I can find out if you don't tell us. ::puppy eyes::

I feel the exact same way about #2. I hate the original plain Ripp one (IT HORRIFIES ME) and the added Johnny affect just makes it all the more terrible. BUT I CAN'T LOOK AWAY.

They're doughnuts! Super wonderful doughnuts that PA dutch folk make yearly because of some silly tradition of using up all the lard/butter, except they now make the fausnaughts with peanut oil according to my mom.

There's a wiki link above about them. Also, they are VRY SRS BSNS back home. Life or death, baby.
