Now I'm missing New Orleans....

Every year my husband would get up early and go down to the bakery to buy several dozen fastnacht donuts so I could take them into work. 

But since he had his heart attacks, I have not said a word today about fastnacht donuts. He is trying to keep all sweets and red meat etc. down to a minimum or mostly not at all. And the Cardio Rehab people keep stressing, if you don't buy it you won't eat it.

I missed them. And yes there are several excellent German Bakeries in the area.

To miss New Orleans!

In eastern PA we had/have donut day.  Same idea of all the other pre Lent traditions.  My mother made her own!  So yummy!

Ha, ha, I was thinking of that song as I wrote that, @Drythe!

Many's the time I've sat in some little 'boite' in the Quarter, with the plaintive strains of  "Do you know what it MEENS/  To miss New Or- LEENS?"  floating overhead....

Although definitely not quite in the same lane, I was overjoyed to see Hamentaschen being sold at BJs the other day.

The common chord I’m thinking of is that all of these yummy edibles are gustatory harbingers of SPRING!!!!

Joy and Peace and Promise for better weather for all who are reading here!!!

@violann  Thank you, and I hope your day has peace and hopefully nicer weather, our winter is holding on tight in Western NY.

I’ve never heard of any of these foods! I did have a beignet once.
