Whether you know it as Fastnacht Day, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras, the day before Ash Wednesday is when the Pennsylvania Dutch historically head for their pantries to purge the shelves of all the flour, sugar, butter and lard to merge these diet-busting ingredients into the densely caloric confections known as fastnachts. With the help of co-owners wife Joanne, daughter Amy Volpe and her husband Mike Volpe, the process of mixing, molding, rising and deep-frying the gobs of goodness is a precise and delicate tango that was to continue through the night until the store opened to fastnacht frenzy at 5:30 a.m.
