Thanks Teppy.
CJ doesn't have to be at school until noon today and tomorrow. Arrrrggggg. It is messing with my ability to concentrate on work.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

But there is no n in paczki. I'll never remember.

We have a Polish woman on staff. Not as an official Pole but as an accountant.
She doesn't think that this sort of Paczki is very authentic. She doesn't think that the pazcki that are made by a local specialist bakery are very authentic either. (She is picky.)
But - I think it says something about the high population of Poles in Chicago and vicinity that you can get paczky at the local Jewel not in a specialty store.
We used to have a cookie/coffee shop where you could get kolachky.

I could run down to the Graeter's or Servatii on Fountain Square and look for paczki. But it's like 20 degrees. And they are not my tradition (or mr. flea's even though he is super-Polish wrt New Year's.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Blinis should be my tradition, but I don't really like them. I feel like I'm entitled to claim king cake, if not as my birthright.

Oh my god, the cheese-filled ones from Graeter's are AMAZING. I was just too lazy to drive to Graeter's this morning, so I ran to the Bakery District* of Northside and got a couple of jelly-filled ones from Bonomini Bakery.
*(Bonomini Bakery has been on Blue Rock in Northside for 1,000 years, and recently Queen City Cookies moved in across the street from Bonomini, so we decided that 2 bakeries qualifies as a "district." The Bakery District is around the corner from the Taco District.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess my actual tradition is pancakes, because the church I grew up in would have a pancake dinner for Shrove Tuesday, but in general, I don't observe. I don't do much if anything to observe Lent either, so that seems about right!

This pleases me. I miss having a Falafel District.

Yup. I do try to remember to do that, mostly because pancakes for dinner!

But I have defrosted borscht waiting for me! I could make biscuits to go with -- no eggs, but lots of butter, at least....
