This bakery was on the top of my “todo” list for today. It is finally Fat Tuesday today. As many of you know I was a bit over eager in my preparations for the Lenten Season. If you missed my over eagerness you can go back here and check it out. (Then if you have nothing better to do you can read this embarrassing post.)
Paczki Day. Do you have a Paczki Day in your town? It’s a Midwestern thing. Primarily celebrated in cities with larger Polish communities the day before Ash Wednesday. The reason for making paczki was to use up all the “good stuff” before Lent began, like eggs, sugar, lard, and fruit.
Luckily I was able to savor half of this glorious prune filled paczki, because this is what I found when I returned from parent teacher conferences this afternoon…….
An EMPTY box!! And a huge mess on the floor sticky fruit, and powdered sugar EVERYWHERE!!!! Blasted KIDS! What the “beep beep” happened here??#@%! Even my other half of prune paczki was gone! “BEEP, beep, beep!” What kid would want the prune donut?
It’s cold out. He wants back in. He would stand like this for hours. Just waiting for the door to open. Or a bird to land on the door knob, we’re not sure which.
Way to go Jack! Good score!

Awwwwww, jack feels terrible-you can tell by that sweet pic. Just think-he saved you all from overindulgence! š
Oh, my…but I agree with Jack….they are so good I could eat 4! Will you try again tomorrow?
Ok I LOVE Jack! Such a Sweetie. I just recently replaced my very old dining table bc one of my Labs decided to get on my old one, scratch it, to finish our dinner that was left while we went downstairs. š These dogs. But we LOVE them! Now I've never had one of these delicacies…. and of course stuffed with prunes I'm sure they are over the top healthy and low in calories…. So how about I bring a pot of coffee and we can share the second box? š have a great day Friend!!!
That dog knows a good thing when he sees it! I wouldn't worry so much about the vomiting…I think I'd be more concerned about what effect the prunes will have!! The Bible Study ladies where I work are having their paczkis this morning. They figure Ash Wednesday isn't official until the service at 7:00 pm!
Yum… Try their cheese bread. It has been a favorite of mind since I was a little kid! (Hint… they only sell it on Thursdays… hum maybe I will have to take a drive over there tomorrow.)
