Fat, Fat Tuesday

It's Mardis Gras! This is one of the Things I Want to Do Before I Die. I want it all -- the chaos, the costumes, masks, beads, wretched excess... gimme gimme gimme!

I may be missing out on the parades again, but I am gettin' me some of  that wretched excess:
Poonchkies. The idea behind the poonchkie was to use up all the fat and sugar in the house before Lent. The result is like a Krispy Kreme on steroids, a Polish pastry from hell, and you can buy them only on Fat Tuesday... Today.

Like, NOW, before they're all gone.
