After all of the threads dealing with guys trying to get into shape, diets, etc., I figure we should give equal time to those goodies we all love.

For myself and many others in The Mitten, the Polish pastry called a Paczki is a can't miss today. #1 selling brand is filled with prunes, but I have better luck with the blueberry or raspberry type.

So what's your poison?

Oh man,I forgot about Fat Tuesday...I die for the cream filled Paczki.

Goodale's Bakery in Grayling ~ A trip up to Northern Michigan is not complete unless ones stops in to secure a dozen Bavarian cream donuts.

I ate a box of raspberry Pims. I deeply regret this, LOL.

WOW!!

Forgot how much I missed a custard filled heart stopper.

How 'bout jambalaya for dinner?

Only one place to get a paczki ( pronounced punchkie ), Hamtramck.

Does it gotta be sweets?

I just loaded down on holopchi and pyrohý's. Ain't a better way to celebrate anything then with the a classic Ukrainian meal. Yum yum.

cadberry creme eggs, and fresh hot doughnuts from pauls bakery in VA.

Mardi Gras King Cakes are outstanding.

Randazzo's King Cakes are out of this world.

Roast Beef Poboys or Oyster Loafs are also wonderful.

Fresh caught fried catfish filets are a can't miss meal.

Gumbo. Shrimp and crab meat gumbo. Now that's living.

Redfish Courtboullion. Its heaven. Out of sight.

Speckled trout topped with crabmeat.

Boiled Louisiana Jimmy crabs.

And last, but not least, CRAWFISH! Those little mudbugs are great. Can't wait for our LSU crawfish boil on May 5th. I will eat about 10 pounds by myself. Does anyone have a wheelbarrow to get me to my car???
