Pączki Pączki are deep-fried [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_frying] pieces of dough [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dough] shaped into flattened spheres and filled with confiture [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confiture] or other sweet fillings. Pączki are usually covered with powdered sugar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powdered_sugar], icing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_(food)], glaze [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaze_(cooking_technique)] or bits of dried orange [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(fruit)] zest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zest_(ingredient)]. A small amount of grain alcohol [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_alcohol] (traditionally rectified spirit [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectified_spirit]) is added to the dough before cooking; as it evaporates, it prevents the absorption of oil deep into the dough.Pączki are commonly thought of as fluffy but somewhat collapsed, with a bright stripe around them; these features are seen as evidence that the dough was fried in fresh oil.

In our latest episode, now that Josh and Alyssa have recovered from the December plagues, they talk about retail marijuana (and Josh's inability to operate machinery), the horror that is the "Witch City Mall", Catgate, and how our cats simply let us live because killing us would be too much work. Alyssa brings a box of donuts from Honeydew, which were sampled and found to compare well with Dunks. And of course, they wind up with some good Rowley talk and a promise to record more often.

In this episode recorded back in the early summer, Josh and Alyssa talk about D'Orsi's bakery, the new Creative Collective offices, Peabody's downtown, the lack of diversity in Bar Harbor, Maine, preservation, and how Samuel McIntyre was a subdivision developer at heart. Plus Josh admits to knowing way too much about the history of the MBTA's compatibility issues. And they even talk about weed! With special technical glitches in the recording.

History, Salem, Lobsters and Pastry!  Josh and Alyssa discuss the founding of the internet and the future of the internet in Salem.. The status of the Phillips Library and it's collection and topics concerning the Salem Historical Society. Josh discusses his thoughts on hash browns. What critters will Alyssa eat?
