In my hometown today is Paczki Day. These little pastries are possibly the most unhealthy amazing tasting things ever. I could definitely go for two or twelve of these puppies.

A pączek is a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with confiture or other sweet filling. Pączki are usually covered with powdered sugar, icing or bits of dried orange zest. A small amount of grain alcohol (traditionally, Spiritus) is added to the dough before cooking; as it evaporates, it prevents the absorption of oil deep into the dough.

Although they look like bismarcks or jelly doughnuts, pączki are made from especially rich dough containing eggs, fats, sugar and sometimes milk. They feature a variety of fruit and creme fillings and can be glazed, or covered with granulated or powdered sugar. Powidła (stewed plum jam) and wild rose hip jam are traditional fillings, but many others are used as well, including strawberry, Bavarian cream, blueberry, custard, raspberry and apple.

Ikea just released a cookbook in Sweden titled Hembakat är Bäst (“Homemade is Best”).  For each recipe, there are two images: one of the ingredients and one of the finished item.

Now the question is does it take all day to put the ingredients together…

This is a interesting graph for how many calories one consumes when drinking caffeine. Makes me want to reconsider some of my drinking options.

Funky Lunch was born out of the desire to turn an ordinary lunchtime sandwich into something a bit different to encourage children to try and eat a varied and healthy lunch.
