Plei - polish question for you. I have Ruby Slippers from China Glaze and would love to find a black with a similar glitter/shimmer. Any suggestions?
Lubu Heels, which is also China Glaze.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are king cakes more associated with the end of the Mardi Gras season than the beginning? I figured everyone was just rushing to get them in, but that the good eatings started on Epiphany. Unlike paczki, which I associate with the day itself.

Plei - polish question for you
With all the talk of paczki, I read this as Polish.

Ack! I was unclear. I was asking Dana.

Yeah, I'm assuming it's a blending of the original king cake concept with the using-up-things-before-Lent pancake/crepe/paczki concept that extends from one holiday to the other.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
King cakes, in my experience, go all the way from Epiphany to Mardi Gras. You get the baby, you provide the next day's king cake. I it weren't for Lent, it would never end.

We always said next year's cake, though I think that was more for calorie reasons than time period reasons.

Thanks Plei. I'm on a no-buy right now - but I will try to remember that when I let myself off "restriction".

My favorite is the Mexican tradition that whoever is the king/queen has to make the tamales for Candlemas.

Punishingly Intricate
I would like some cake.
Man I miss being in a neighborhood where you can walk to stuff (like the Polish bakery for paczi!) ... although I'm glad to not have to be driving to get there or parking in that neighborhood right now.
sara, your commute sounds like a nightmare! I know they've had problems with flooding on 39th. I wonder if that's what they are fixing?
