The Man, my hero.

When Publix flaked about getting #Paczkis before Fat Tuesday, he didn't let up, and kept calling all of their local stores. One finally said that they "might" have some come in on Wednesday (today.) He called, et voilà!

As with everything in our world, they are not as good as when Publix baked them fresh, but they are so very much appreciated as a once-a-year treat.

#Donuts #FatTuesday #Lent

A red and white box of these extra-special, extra-rich filled donuts sit on a metal trellis table. The plastic window shows 4 of the goodies inside (which was not true for long.)

I believe these are Polish, and the ones we hold out for are filled with Bavarian Creme, although one can find them with lemon or raspberry as well.

One of the special donuts sits on a white plate. It is coated with a crisp layer of sugared icing (but not too much.) and is filled with creme.

I wanted to take a photo after a bite was taken out, but was overruled.

Once I finished my knife work, I made myself a Sazerac (just bourbon bc no rye, but Peychaud’s of course and an absinthe wash, I’m not a complete heathen). Jambalaya-esque on the stove. Happy Mardi Gras!! #Jambalaya #Sazerac #MardiGras #FatTuesday #Carneval

a corner of a kitchen. A blue Le Creuset is on the stove, cooking jambalaya, and a coupé glass with a Sazerac is on the counter. A cutting board is visible, and there are several containers with cooking implements—spatulas, ladles, wooden spoons, tongs, as well as several types of cooking salt.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

It's #FatTuesday and though I've celebrated it as #PaczkiDay (in US). But not getting any today - a break after many 10+ years.
Had stopped by the bakery on Thursday (real paczki day I've heard) with kid2 in tow - and a taped sign said cash only and it was $40/dozen 😳 (or 3.50 each!)
I normally get about 3 doz. 6 for home and 6 for lab and the other half dozens for (Polish) colleagues.

Making #pancakes tonight? Here’s a recipe from the 16th century which includes “two or three spoonefuls of ale” — (from The Good Huswifes Jewell, an English cookery book from 1585) #PancakeDay #FatTuesday #ShroveTuesday
