That was not, in fact, completely random. Julia's mistaken reply about pretzels reminded me of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Lots of things remind me of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Barns which are not red and don't have hex signs piss me off.

Apparently, today is Mardi Gras. Everyone must have known this except me. Having spent most of my life in Southeastern PA, around the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch, I always crave Fauschnauts. (Not that I can spell it.) Not that I have ever in my life enjoyed a fauschnaut, but I always feel like I should have one. By the time you get as far west as Harrisburg, they try to tell you that regular donuts are fauschnauts, but they aren't. They're supposed to be breadier and doughier.
