sweets

The time of Carnival is coming to an end (after a very long time this year!) and as usual, before the Lent we celebrate... well, yeah, what exactly? Since I was a kid, we had Shrove Thursday one week before the Lent started and on this occasion we were eating donuts. But look quite not like the English ones. They look like this:

And the donuts we have in here in England are like those:


So, what am I supposed to do now? I would really like to have a traditional polish donut... I think, in the end, I won't be eating them at all tomorrow... I work so hard on shaping my thighs and destroying the layer of fat on my belly that eating donuts, even during this one day, would be like murdering all my efforts ;)
Besides, in England there is no Shrove Thursday - here's Shrove Tuesday instead, right before Ash Wednesday. On that day everyone makes, buys and eats pancakes. We called it our own way, to make it more familiar: a Pancake Day :)
