Fat Tuesday and Paczki

A difference between Polish tradition and Polish American tradition is that today is our "Fat Tuesday" or "Paczki Day" instead of last Thursday. Honestly, the bakeries are trying to sell them for a few weeks around here. I commend people who bake and try to recreate favorite recipes. Check out the picture of Connie Liszewski's first attempt! They look pretty good. Connie's husband Mike is my 3rd cousin 1x removed. Even though we were both born in Grand Rapids, we never crossed paths to my knowledge. It is fun to make connections doing family history.
