ellestraMy asthma is getting worse despite the works on our hall are all done. I hate that. I have a lot to do and it makes me come back home all tired and sleepy. And my muscles hurt like if I was doing some serious workout. Lack of oxygen.
Meanwhile today is Ostatki, which is Polish tradition for Shrove Tuesday celebrations. The name means something like Lasts - because it's the last day of Carnival. You're suppose to party and eat all food that won't be allowed during Lent. Or at least that's the history of it. Nowadays it's basically the same as Fat Thursday - you celebrate by eating pączki and faworki. Although where I live the difference is that pączki are rather Fat Thursday and Ostatki is faworki day. Basically both are an excuse to eat as much unhealthy, sweet, deep fried food as you can. And since I love faworki it's ok with me. Especially since, unlike pączki that you can buy all year long everywhere, faworki are pretty much season food. And I'm really only fan of homemade which are much thinner but also much more fragile. I get why they made them thicker for sale - they taste better thinner but wouldn't survive transport. So we just make them ourselves at home. Good but so unhealthy - everything that they always warn you about: animal fat, wheat flour and sugar. Evil.
