Gained a pound of weight just skimming through the pictures. Looks yummy. Bride back on her Whole Thirty diet today.
I’m on the hook for next year’s King cake.
I got the baby in my slice.
I thought she was Biden’s press secretary
Powidl is cooked for several hours, in order to achieve the necessary sweetness and consistency. The plums used should be harvested as late as possible, ideally after the first frosts, in order to ensure they contain enough sugar.
In Austria, Moravia and Bohemia, powidl is the basis for Buchteln, powidl cake and Germknödel, but it is also used as a sandwich spread. Powidl will keep for a long time, especially if kept in traditional crockery.
Traditionally, large amounts of powidl to be used as a winter store and natural sweetener were prepared in late autumn during a communal event. Since constantly stirring the stew was exhausting work, people took turns, and did easier work in between turns. The Czech term povidla is plural only (the Polish word powidła as well).
More anglicized - povidla - plum jam.

I’ve got garaczki in front of me now.
Here in Pennsylvania dutch country, we have fastnacht day. Fastnachts are donuts made with bread dough. It’s always the day before Lent. I don’t know how the tradition began, but I suspect that Mardigras is a lot more fun.
I’ve already had my paczki today. Apple cream cheese. It’s pronounced more like ponchos, but I’m not Polish.
I’ve put away about a dozen of the bloody things already! They’ve been available for a couple of weeks.0
Must head up to my favorite Polish market in Boston to see if they have any left. On an average day they are cleaned out.
Had mine today.
I saw the King Cakes being sold at my discount Grocery Store in Warrington, Florida, and I simply thought they were pretty neat, and so big that I couldn’t eat one in one sitting. I had no idea they were related to Mardi Gras. In fact, I had no idea that Pensacola even celebrated Mardi Gras. I’m learning something new down here every day!
