Catalina Pasta

Catalina Pasta Salad~ Recipe by Peilo

Super simple. First you boil the noodles, (well of course you do that) anyways be careful that the noodles are fully cooked because bowtie noodles take a tad longer then say an your average elbow noodle. This is Very important. So because of this it’s going to be wise to test a few before pulling them from the boiling water. that is unless u like hard pasta 😦

OK Once the noodles have the right firmness, strain on top the frozen peas. This will help thaw the peas perfectly. Next, of course rinse the noodles. Do this quickly with cold water to again firm them up. (we likem firm) Pour into some type of dish or bowl to mix. Now add the remaining ingredients 🙂

Once its all mixed, your going to want to let this set and thicken up.

Ingredients

16 oz Bag of Bowtie Noodles

16 Oz Bag of Frozen Peas

1/2 Cup of Mayo

1/4 Cup of Catalina Salad Dressing

10 Oz Can of Premium Chunk Chicken

additionally you can add chopped onion or celery to add flavor
and crunch. Now some salt and pepper to spice,
and there ya have it ~ Catalina Pasta Salad (with Peas and chicken)

Hamtramck, Michigan – Pàczki Day (Fat Tuesday) February 5th, 2008

Official website of City of Hamtramck, Michigan

Paczki Day

paczki. Wiki citation : (2008, February 5). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 13:43, February 5, 2008, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paczki&oldid=189217064

Wiki explanation :

P?czki (Polish: p?czki, pronounced: [?puntchki] MP3 Pronunciation File) are traditional Polish doughnuts. P?czki is the plural form of the word p?czek (pronounced: [?puntchki]) in Polish, but many English speakers use paczki as singular and paczkis as plural.

A p?czek is a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with plums or other sweet filling. A traditional filling is marmalade made from fried rose buds. Fresh paczki are usually covered with powdered sugar, icing or bits of fried orange zest. P?czki have been known in Poland at least since the Middle Ages. J?drzej Kitowicz has described that during the reign of the August III under influence of French cooks who came to Poland at that time, p?czki dough baked in Poland has been improved, so that p?czki became lighter, spongier, and more resilient. ~They are the best doughnuts on the planet by any standards.

Do you make your pàczki from a recipe handed down from your grandmother? Do you use a filing that just can’t be found in the store bought versions? Does your family tell you that there are the pàczki you make, and then there are all the rest? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s time for you to claim your rightful title as the creator of the Best Homemade Pàczki in the World.

The City of Hamtramck invites all pàczki chefs to enter the Best Homemade Pàczki in the World contest at the Countdown to Pàczki Day Festival, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., February 2, 2008–the Saturday before Fat Tuesday.

No advance registration is required, and the rules are simple. You have to make the pàczki yourself, in your own kitchen. That’s it.

At 11 a.m. on February 2, bring three of your prize pàczki to the site of the Countdown to Pàczki Day tent located in the parking lot of the Town Center Plaza at the intersection of Joseph Campau and Holbrook in Hamtramck.

The best homemade pàczki, according to the festival’s panel of expert judges, will net their creator a sweet $100; the second place pàczki will be awarded $50; and the third place pàczki with receive $25. Additional prizes will be awarded for the most inventive filling.

And while you’re there, enjoy the Countdown to Pàczki Day Festival activities, including live polka entertainment by the Misty Blues and performances by Polish folk dance groups. And of course there will be free pàczki offered by our famous Hamtramck bakeries. All in a heated tent.
