It’s Pączki Day in Poland today, on Fat Thursday, in case anyone needs a reason to enjoy a Pączki, donut or krapfen today.
Pączki Day in Canada and the States is typically celebrated on Fat Tue, next Tue.
If you’re looking for things to do in Detroit this week, we’ve got you. Attend some pączki parties or show off your talent at UFO Bar.

Pączki for breakfast today, which we meant to eat yesterday when we picked them up. Prune butter (lekvar) filling for me. Bavarian cream filling for my husband.

Unlike Hawaiian Malasadas,
Since 1952, based in Honolulu, Hawaii, Leonard's Bakery has been delighting the world with original creations like the Malasada Puffs, the Malasadamobile, Malasada Babies, and Pao Doce pups. Malasadas made fresh throughout the day.
Azorean Malassadas don’t resemble a Pączki, Berliner, Bismarck, Krapfen, or filled donut.
I understand that malassadas from the Azores are made for Carnival.
These malassadas, or Portuguese doughnuts are an irresistible dessert made with fried dough that's coated in cinnamon sugar. #portuguese #doughnut #dessert

I didn’t see any Azorean Malassadas at the 2 Portuguese bakeries I visited this weekend.
I decided to buy a Bola de Berlim instead, Portugal’s Berliner, filled with custard.
The Croatians and Serbs call their filled donuts Krafne or Krofne . The Croatian Krafne/Krofne closely resembles Austrian Krapfen.
A must on every table in Naples for Fat Tuesday or Fat Thursday, is a rich ricotta lasagna layered with tiny meatballs, plus all sorts of extras including salami, cheese, and even sliced boiled eggs. The unofficial symbol for the end of Carnevale and...

I bought some ribs and Italian sausage today. I plan to make a Lasagne tomorrow.
This is my take on a Lasagna di Carnevale for Fat Tue, based on several recipes.
And Italian ribs with fennel, rosemary, sage, pepper, and lemon.
