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.)
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

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....

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It's just I don't have the emotional resources to be there for her while she unloads all her misery and anxiety onto my shoulders.
Oh how well I know this. Just remember you owe her nothing. No money, no shoulder, no explanation. You can empathize but you're under no obligation to do more than that. Your sister's financial foibles were her own, and you do not have to take them over.
ION, I have no desire to work today.

My co-worker pronounces paczki the same as Teppy's grandma.
She says that the texture of authentic paczki is chewier than the paczki we get here. (I wonder if it is a difference in the flour?)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My local market has paczki this year. I have no idea if they're authentic, but they were delicious!
