It's Fat Tuesday, or in my neighborhood, Pazcki day! Pronounced 'poonch-key' these tasty deep-fried treats are basically Polish doughnuts.
While doughnuts traditionally give me terrible heartburn (sorry for the overshare) I had to indulge. Who could pass up their jelly-filled powdered sugar-coated goodness?
Mmmmm...
We went to Rich's Deli for our fix, but they have them at Kasia's (while you're there, do yourself a favor and get some pierogis. Seriously) and Caesar's has been advertising their paczkis for days.
Enjoy! Et laissez les bons temps roulez!
Watching the footie game during recess today, my mind wandered a bit (hey, I only get 15 minutes to eat some days. I have to get some 'me time') and I started noticing how 'hip' the kids are looking these days. One boy had on buffalo plaid pyjama pants and black and TURQUOISE Nikes. So COOL! I hit up The Sartorialist and they're noticing it, too.
I love these email Valentines from Kate Spade...
(thanks, Cup of Jo!)
I am, of course, obsessed with Boston Terriers, so that made my day.
There are also the non-electronic variety...
Handmade!
Miley! (one of my students gave me one of these, with a chocolate attached. She was SO EXCITED about the chocolate, and that it's 'crunchy'. Hah!)
Mmmmm...the kind I made for my beau.
This makes me quite sad-
The Rose, Brandeis University's art museum, is closing.
Read a bit about it here.
Less culturally significant, perhaps, but filling when I need some color-
Domino is folding. Read about it here. I still miss Blueprint, which I enjoyed for it's DIY projects (of COURSE it was a Martha Magazine!) and lovely layout.
Of course I am also thinking about stores that are closing, and folks that are losing their jobs, as it's affected my family, too. Every day it's something new. And I'm applying to graduate school right now? Sheesh...
