Beautiful! What flavor was this?

Inside was kind of a vanilla cream cheese. It was delicious!

 

[tvguy]

Gotcha! Kinda sad to know I didn’t miss a winter holiday. Always room for one more

It's only been celebrated for 3,500 years!!!

It's only been celebrated for 3,500 years!!!

Only been celebrating it since 1982 on this end.
You, on the other hand, look so much younger!…

....off-topic, but......

....we got a [very] late Christmas gift in the mail last week from our DS and his DW. When you roll your Magic Band over the front it lights up green, in a circular motion [just like at the parks!] and says the schpiel, "Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion....I am your host - your GHOST host} while playing the 4-note organ music. My DH is going to connect it to our home theatre so that it opens the door!

I have one of those!

Never heard of them so I don’t guess I’ll have any.

 

[georgina]

Never heard of them. As far as I know, not a thing among the Irish-Americans. Of course, I never heard of pierogi until I moved to Pittsburgh.

The real thing is supposedly a 'richer' dough, most likely to find that at an ethnic bakery. What most stores sell now are simply jelly donuts.

The ones I can get are at least an attempt. They are usually a little more bready than doughnuts, but they aren't quite there, you know? Some are better than others.

^^ I agree. Supposedly the origin of this was that ethnic bakeries were looking for a way to use various ingredients they wouldn't be using during Lent. Therefore, they came up with the Paczki recipe as one way to do that.

Saw a 4 pack of jelly infused at our local Publix yesterday. What a heavy box!

 

[Babs Johnson]

Paczki - pronounced 'pownch-key' (or something close to that

I‘ve always just Americanized it to punch-key.

I bought a 4 pack of raspberry jelly filled pączki at the supermarket on Monday.

And, yes, in Poland they’re generally eaten on the prior Thursday before Lent.
Tłusty Czwartek. (Tlos-tee Shvar-tek)

Here it's Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Day. ...Traditionally, it's the thin pancakes - crepes - with Golden Syrup. Mmm.

 

[Toolulu22]

Not a thing here, but there are plenty of places to get donuts with some kind of filling. I won't be having any though, I have the other half of a molten chocolate Crumbl cookie waiting for me in the fridge

I hadn’t tried Crumbl cookies until today, boy are they yummy! Our Student Council is selling them to fund raise for folks in California. One of my students was talking them up, so we purchased a few different flavors and then taste tested them. The molten lava is heaven, but my favorite is the Valentines sugar confetti. Between these and the Girl Scout cookies, I’m going t have to up my cardio this week!

Never heard the term Packzi, but I have what we call Jelly Donuts and which look just like them. Love them warm from the bakery.

God help me again this year to stay away. They are SO GOOD!!!
