Happy Malasada Day!

In Hawaii, we celebrate Fat Tuesday, but we go about it in a different way.

Fat Tuesday is the day before the beginning of the Catholic season of Lent.  Usually, for Lent, people give up indulgent foods for the 40 Days.  That includes malasadas, the fried, sugar coated puff bread pastry of Portuguese origin that’s a locals favorite.  So, as tradition, Leonard’s – the purveyors of such delectable creations – has always designated the the day before Ash Wednesday as “Happy Malasada Day.”

So, get all happy go lucky and scarf down a dozen or so of these things before it’s no go starting on Wednesday.

You can find all the Leonard’s locations here.

NEW! Fitted “Sugar Fingers” shirt

Another Tuesday, another Fitted drop.

Subtitles “Sugar Fingers”, this one is based off of the ol skool Leonard’s Hawaii sign.  Definitely a hot seller, just like the malasadas.

You just know this one is gonna sell out, so go and get the shirt ASAP, like after work or school or what have you.

As always with Fitted drops, phone orders are taken after 12pm and it’s first come, first served.
