Today is Fasnacht Day in Pennsylvania.

This is a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition in which all the lard and fat in the home was used up on the day before Lent begins. And all that fat was used to make doughnuts - rectangular in shape without holes in the middle.

Even practicing atheists take part it this quasi-religious celebration. These are good doughnuts!
