Today is the day to eat the last of everything good that you can shove in your mouths before tomorrow when Lent begins. Thank every pagan god that I am not a christian! However, I have been known to celebrate every holiday known to man so I will be baking today. Unfortunately, I do not have time to bake paczki because I have had requests for other Fat Tuesday foods. But I live in the land of Paczki so I thought I should post some pics of these delectable bites.
Every bakery, church, grocery store and convenience store will be selling paczki today and all sorts of varieties will be available. Paczki is pronounced: poonch-key
Being the stubborn Pole that I am, I will only eat my own which are made with real butter and real eggs so we will not be imbibing in these Polish treats. Honestly, the
stubbornness comes from my Welsh side. This is what I am baking today, King Cakes. These were requested by my kids and some neighbors along with beans and rice. Instead of smelling like Poland today, my house will smell of New Orleans. Bon Temp! Are you eating anything special for Shrove Tuesday?
