staghorn

Today is paczki day as the millions of Polish Catholics of Chicago prepare for Lent.

Fact: Chicago has the largest Polish population aside from Warsaw, the capitol of Poland. 

Paczki’s are stuffed donuts, but they follow a more yeasty recipe have a delightful glutennous chew akin to pasta cooked al dente. 

Eat all the paczkis today.

    I am Polish, and very sad there is nowhere local to obtain these.
