Happy Tuesday Speakies:
I had a nice surprise yesterday, I heard from an old friend I use to work with in Jersey through Face Book, it was nice to hear from you Toni, one of the nicest people I worked with. Let’s stay in touch.
Let’s see what observances we can get bang the drum for today.
Fastnachts Day – Pennsylvania Dutch – Shrove Tuesday.
Pancake Day – I use to love them as a kid, I don’t think I’ve had pancakes in years.
Mardi Gras Day – It’s the last big day of celebration, so drink and throw beads all day and night long. Lent starts on Wednesday with Ash Wednesday.
Washington’s Birthday – Happy “B” Day Georgie.
Paczki Day - Pączek is a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with confiture or other sweet filling. Pączki are usually covered with powdered sugar, icing or bits of dried orange zest. A small amount of grain alcohol (traditionally, Spiritus) is added to the dough before cooking; as it evaporates, it prevents the absorption of oil deep into the dough. I remember my grandmother making these all the time, she made hers plain with powdered sugar on top served hot, drops of remembrance are falling now from my mouth. She always called them Punchski. To have some of those days back.
Have a great day Guys and Dolls.
