I guess my actual tradition is pancakes, because the church I grew up in would have a pancake dinner for Shrove Tuesday
Yup. I do try to remember to do that, mostly because pancakes for dinner!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?)

My local market has paczki this year. I have no idea if they're authentic, but they were delicious!

We were just told that the large meeting room "may or may not be available" for April-June due to a roofing project. Which basically means they have no idea. I can move my 2 monthly classes to the smaller rooms, but I have been planning a large public event for that room in May (which was free to be booked on the calendar) and there's really noplace to move it in the building. I have emailed the person they said to email, and the poor woman probably has no idea what havoc the construction will wreak when and is tearing her hair out.

Put up a tent outside in front of the book fountain! Although you may be peed on by a homeless person.

Ooh, you should make Little Ear Dumplings (I think that's what they're called. Starts with a V in Russian). I would have to look up the recipe, though.

I have a UP pastie defrosting in the fridge for dinner tonight. It's not Fat Tuesday specific, but it is the food of my people. So I'm looking forward to it.
