Today is Fat Tuesday. Being half Polish and from a Roman Catholic family from an heavily ethnic Catholic area (Toledo), paczki were part of the spring tradition. The really cool thing is that we are Protestants. We get to enjoy cultural traditions like Fat Tuesday, with the accompanying paczki but we don’t feel obligated to give up something for Lent. See, being a Protestant is a win-win. Thank you Martin Luther, I will eat a paczki (or three) today in your honor!

Praise the Lord for the vision of all those tasty animals within the 4 corners of that sheet Peter saw.
Bumper sticker:
"If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them taste like meat?"
Not to put too fine a point on it, Arthur...but you are one-quarter Polish, one-quarter German and one-half Irish. But I hope you enjoyed your Paczkis.
Ah but mom, clearly the polish influence overwhlems all else.
