Celebrating Fat Tuesday during a pandemic means there probably won’t be a genuine hero walking into the office with boxes of paczki for everybody.
But there is a bright side. One, it gives you a chance to rethink that repertoire of paczki (pronounced POONCH-key) jokes you break out every year and, two, more paczki to yourself!
Paczki, of course, is a traditional polish pastry similar to a donut filled with jelly, custard or cream and covered in powdered sugar or glazed that’s generally only available this time of year. The idea behind the sweet treat was to get rid of all the temptations -- lard, sugar, eggs and fruit -- from the cupboard before the fasting season of Lent started.

Javoll!
Fat Tuesday?
Don’t you listen to them, Tuesday!
They’re just haters!
You are not fat!
You just have big bones.
I never heard of these. But some photos especially Goldies look like New Orleans beignets.
It’s her metabolism, it cant near stand all the Paczki she’s trying to shovel through it...
Why do you think it’s called ‘FAT’!.......................
The local Kroger here had some on the table with the King Cakes from New Orleans. They’ve had King Cakes before, but that’s the first time I’ve seen Paczki there.
Yes, they are like jelly donuts.
And yes, they are absolutely delicious.
I would prefer custard, but it’s all good.

These Hunkies put prune in everything, even the lekvar perogis. LOL
I found a box with raspberry filling at our Fry’s in Anthem, AZ last week. I had never seen them before. I bought a box of four as a Valentine’s gift for my wife, but they didn’t make it to Valentine’s Day!
Cheers!
I’m putting on the poundage eating too many paczkis. No wonder they call it “Fat Tuesday”, because by the time Tuesday rolls around, I’m fat.
raspberry sounds yum.
Hint, mix that with cream cheese and chioptle.
Custard would be my favorite too.
That’s why it’s prounounced “Pooch key”
