HAPPY MARDI GRAS DAY on this lovely afternoon of TUESDAY FEBRUARY 17th! Have a big slice or two of King Cake (don’t swallow the baby!) with your coffee, then grab your gold, green, and purple beads and hit the streets, because Lent begins tomorrow, and it’s sackcloth and ashes until Easter!
Laissez Les bon temps roulez!
Here in Chicago, it’s Pączki Day! We have quite a large Polish population, including me. Well, half of me LOL
Shown are cream filled pączki. At the bakery we’d of course get a variety. My favorite is traditional prune!
My Dad was Lithuanian and we always had “the Polish Donuts” on Ash Wednesday and on Sunday Mornings after Mass during Lent. We were even allowed a cup of coffee on Sunday! And, just in case you’re wondering, they were always the perfect compliment to Spaghetti Sunday Dinner.
Thanks for the Happy Memory …
Ooh, now you just unlocked a memory with Sunday spaghetti dinner! My mom’s homemade sauce. Delicious!
How I miss those Sundays, especially when we we were kids. It’s true, Nobody Cooks Like Mom!
