A Happy New Year Krew Quotable


Which one if the following doesn’t belong - Lefse, Baklava, Fafsa, or Kolach. Did you figure it out?
If you are of Norwegian, Greek, or Slovak decent, you will immediately recognize at least one of these as a delectable yummy treat.
If you are/were/will be the parent of a college student, one of these items is NOT a yummy treat, but the acronym for Free Application for Federal Student Aid - FAFSA. But camouflaged by delectable terms, one might think a FAFSA is something good to eat.
It is becoming a New Year’s tradition at our house to wake up early on January 1st to submit the online FAFSA since college students will be in our midst the next few years. Well ….. one particular Krew member in our household handles this tedious process. And might I add, that this year, she also managed to pop in a yummy cinnamon pull apart sticky bun thing to bake for New Year’s breakfast while working on the computer. Upon completing the FAFSA online, it was announced to another member of the Krew that the FAFSA was done. Without hesitation, (and obviously racked with hunger) he responded, “Finally! It smells wonderful! Let‘s eat!” And THAT is our Krew Quotable to usher in the New Year! We all enjoyed our newly dubbed FAFSA buns for a very Merry New Years!

Can I come over some time for FAFSA. There must be a slovak translation for fafsa. I'll look it up. Luv, Momuska
