It’s Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) today! How lucky that we arrived in time to celebrate. I wrote a post about Fat Thursday when we were in Poland before, so if you want more details you can read that one. Basically, the Thursday before Ash Wednesday is the Polish version of Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras…

…celebrated with pączki.

Everyone in Poland is buying and eating these doughnuts today. Friends of ours bought some yesterday and gave us two. We had those with our coffee this morning (not pictured). While out doing chores this afternoon, I passed a piekarnia (bakery) that was advertising its pączki. They had only about six left. I bought a chocolate and a “rose” which might actually be raspberry.

Delicious!
