Because books.

I hope the orthopod has a decent plan, Suzi. Suzi in pain is no good.

Dang, homemade? I haven't had homemade paczki since my grandma died.

I realized I don't think I've ever had any kind of paczki before, so I guess I'll be getting a treat. I, uh, purposely ate a light breakfast.

Man, in order to balance out all the sugary goodness in the one I ate, I think my dinner is going to have to be steak wrapped in steak with a side of steak.

Seriously, lunch was turkey with avocado and swiss (literally just those 3 things, no bread). I'm hoping the fat and protein will go balance out the sugar before my eyes start to boing out of my head.

But oh my god, SO YUMMY.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've never had paczki, but now I want one! Apparently the only place you can get them in Nashville is at Publix, which is nowhere near me. Alas!

I have had paczki. I had one with strawberries and custard, which was yuck, and then another kind because I can't remember the singular and how would I post about it then?

I sent out a dept wide email announcing donuts in the kitchen and I said elevenses. Waiting to see which geologists and engineers respond.

Paczek (pronounced pohn-check).

There are still 3 left in the kitchen (all blueberry, I think), and I am DYING. I would totally eat another one if I didn't know the gluten would make my insides cry. (As it is, I'm already paying the price for the first one, which was a decision I made as an adult. I only get paczki once a year, so gluten be damned.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bon, Vortex, any Buffista lawyers, what's the World Human Rights Moot Court when it's at home?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like Polish isn't really our same alphabet, even though it looks a lot like it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

That would make sense, wouldn't it?

where the "n"? whyfor languages so weird?

Polish throws in a bunch of diacriticals (over consonants!) that English doesn't use, for one thing.

(Also, it's not exactly an "n" sound, but I can't render it textually. It's more like "puch-ki," if you swallowed a marble in between the "u" and "ch" sounds. Kind of.)

t edit Although now I really think I'm going to say it "pohn-checky." Because it makes me laugh.
