I have a reason for you to make doughnuts...Fastnacht(Donut) Day! The day before the start of Lent, the Pennsylvania Dutch make fastnachts...it was originally a way to use up the lard and sugar before fasting for Lent. I always celebrate Fastnacht Day with my cousins, but I've never had the time to actually make them.

I guess Andrew's going to get his great big Halloween!
No, no. Andrew asked for a 'HUGE Halloween!'
I think I can swing that.
The Costco out here on the West Coast already has their Christmas stuff out.
Reeeediculous.
I think maybe the economy is desperate.
I want a huge Halloween too!
