It really snuck up on us this year…it’s paczki time! I can’t believe that Fat Tuesday is tomorrow and with it comes Paczki Day…a historically traditional day that serves up these goodies with the intent to use up all the fats & sugars in the home before Lent! Each year the delicious, doughnut-like pillows stuffed with gooey fillings are a much anticipated treat in our home! Pronounced “ponch kee”…these sugar-coated goodies are available in many bakeries & grocers in areas with Polish communities. I’ve noticed recently that many bakeries offer shipping so just about anyone can partake in these well-worth-indulging-on pastries! Unfortunately, this season seemed to appear out of no where–and since Fat Tuesday is the last day you’ll see these little guys around, it’s sadly too late to place any orders. (take note for next year!) But if you’re fortunate enough to live where paczkis are popular…don’t hesitate to treat yourself! Time is running out–don’t miss your opportunity to indulge…whether this is a familiar tradition, or a newly adopted one–
