An Austrian Tradition
So, we had a staff picnic (inside because it was raining) and they gave all of the new staff these things that look like huge cones. Carrie and I believe they are called tutens (this is probably not spelled correctly or even the correct word but this is what we heard several people say). Anyway, these tutens are traditionally given to first graders on their first day of school. Inside could be anything but probably candy and some school supplies. These tutens remind Carrie and me of Easter baskets only for the first day of school. Inside of our tutens we had house slippers, a Milka candy bar, a Mozart ball, a ginger ale type soda, some egg noodles, baking soda, baking powder, italian dressing mix, a soup mix, and some wafer candy that tastes like hazelnut. It was a wonderful suprise and fun to open!
