I refuse to leave the house because there's winter out there, so I didn't get any paczki (not that I've found gluten-free ones anywhere anyway), so maybe I'll make pancakes for dinner.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I can't imagine Steph without paczki!
Are Fasnacht Kuechle the same thing ish?
Is there an Italian American or Scots-Irish American version?

Are fastnacht kuechles filled with jelly or custard? If they are, then they're probably pastry siblings.
Is there an Italian American or Scots-Irish American version?
I don't know, but I'd bet there's something similar. The idea behind them is to use up the sugar, butter, and lard that were traditionally abstained from during Lent.

Well, from my very thorough wikipedia search, the Scotts Irish version is "Donuts". And Italy has Struffoli, Pignolata, Guanti, (Assisi) Bastoncello, (Calabria) Scaddateddi, Zeppole, Chiacchiere, Lattughe (this may not be classifiable as doughnut, but it is fried pastry, in a Lettuce" style) Cenci, Donzelle, Frappe, Sfrappole, Bugie, Crostoli, Frittelle, Grispelli (potato dough speciality from the Catanzaro region), Ciambelli (Cocullo, Abruzzi), Bomboloni (Bombolonas), and (Palermo, Sicily) Sfingi.

Timelies all!
Got my second shot today. My arm is sore, but that's it so far. Tomorrow is my telework day, so I can take it easy if need be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One of my favorite recent TikToks is a woman from the Keweenaw Peninsula (which averages 300 inches of snow a year) bitching out Midwesterners for being mean to Texans. "They don't have snow dumps down there! They're not built for this! Be nicer!"
Seriously, though. They are not prepared! Someone I went to high school with (in New England!) lives... down South somewhere now, and she was just saying they don't even have gloves! She had her kids put socks on their hands to go shovel.

When we got six inches of snow in Athens GA mine were the only kids who owned mittens. You didn’t really need a winter coat there, generally. The city did not own a plow, and nobody had a shovel or salt; stores didn’t carry them. Apparently Atlanta (pop. 4 million) owned two plows.
