Super Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, FAT Tuesday...

All these things rolled up in one day... TODAY! Can't vote today, because the Maryland Primary is next Tuesday! Don't particularly like pancakes, so, Shrove Tuesday is out... it is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday (tomorrow) where you eat pancakes. BUT I love the FAT Tuesday concept that we latched onto when we pastored two churches in Pennsylvania. It is also called Fasnacht Day. Or more affectionately, Fat Tuesday... because on the tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Dutch make these delicious homemade donuts (fasnacht). Just got back from keeping the tradition... took Sharon to Donut Connection to have some donuts on Fat Tuesday. Sharon says that Fat Tuesday was just the excuse I was looking for to get some donuts! She may well be right!

They sure were good!
