I'm on my way to hamtramck to battle the crowds. I'll be sure to pick up a dozen prune filled for Art! :grin

Had a friend bring me a Prune Gandma's Kuchen from Pollock, SD. It is a custard type pie. Oh buddy was it good!

Have fun those things look good too!

Nothing like fried pastries on FAT Tuesday!

wow that pak............ pak whatever looks GOOD!

We had blueberry ones at work today.

That is not a good thing for me to see today!

Maybe not...I had one for lunch and one for dinner (lemon, blueberry).

Funny, there just was an article in Gourmet on these in Texas

Same thing aren't they?

Yep! and the world gets rounder, right.

Doesn't look like it. Pazcki are big hunks of doughnut doe, fried in lard, then filled with different flavors of filling. Nuthin dainty about 'em...

That sentence has several of my favorite words in it

Forgot to add, then they are glazed, although I prefer the non-glazed when I can find 'em.

Stop. You had me at "fried in lard". Isn't lard a banned substance in NY, California and other "enlightened" places?

Yeah, I think a bill has been introduced in Congress to ban the use of lard, or at least a prohibitive tax on it...LOL
