For those of you that don't know Paczki Day or Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday and the last day of Mardi Gras. Everyone loads up on rich delicious foods before Lent begins.
My work is having a Paczki eating contest today....can you imagine what the King or Queen of Paczki is going to feel like after that contest...probably not much like a King or Queen eeekk!!!!
Oh but don't they look delish!
I've always loved Mardi Gras masks...I think they are so beautiful! My mom and dad went to New Orleans when I was younger and brought me one back, my friend Karyn went our freshman year in college and brought me one back then too! Love them!
Just in case you decide to indulge in the delicious polish pastry here are some nutrition facts and ways to burn off those cals!! I found this article here. Being that Detroit has Hamtramack, a very Polish area and the Paczki parade every year, I'll be seeing a lot of temptation today....JUST Say NO Brittney!
