I usually indulge myself once a week by allowing the consumption of donuts (never more than two). This week, in honor of Mardi Gras, the donut of choice was the Polish delicacy paczki. I rarely like filled donuts, but I make an exception for these. Lemon filling, yum!!!
The rest of the day I gnawed on a head of lettuce. (No, not really. Too many carbs today, to be quite honest....)
Mmmmm... donuts. Fortunately there isn't a good donut shop anywhere near us.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in NE Ohio, one of the "homes of the paczki" in the US.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen one for YEARS. They were one of the things I just took for granted, like that there was a radio station that played Polka music and broadcast in Slavic for part of the day.
I had to make do with making pancakes for dinner instead (well, I am more Anglo-Scots in my background, so pancake day would be fitting)
