Fastnacht Day & Fat Tuesday

Happy Fastnacht Day & Fat Tuesday!

Well the weather has not changed, snow is very sparkley this time and right now it is 15 degrees, so I will stay put for a bit before I head outside to see what needs to be moved today.

I need to go and poke around in the inventory to see what to take into the shop this week, but we keep the heat at the minimum so the pipes don't freeze but it does make for a cold, cold building. But, it is necessary with the price of oil, we can't afford the house (IMPORTANT) and the outbuilding. Such is life :-(.

Have a good day my friends and if you can, do something fun!

 

 

 

Fastnacht Day

Fastnacht Day is a old German custom, which translates into clearing the house of fat on the day before Lent starts. Or Fat Tuesday. Growing up in NJ this was a new custom to me and my family when we moved to PA over 20 plus years ago. But, it was a custom that we grew to like very much. Everyone has their version of fastnacht's I'm sure, I usually pick up ours at the bakery in our local Giant. I think someday I would love to try a homemade one. It is snowing here in Williams Township once again, this is getting really old and I and Les are getting ready for Spring and once Spring starts so do all of our Antique Shows! We are less then one month away from our first. I will post info on that show in the next week or so. Have a Great Fastnacht Day!!
