Mardi Gras

Happy Mardi Gras! Happy Pączki Day! Happy Pancake Day! Happy Fat Tuesday!

The Polish Center of Wisconsin will be offering pączki today.

Mmm...pączki.



Order by the dozen – prune, raspberry or mixed box of six of each. $10 per dozen. Delivery is available in Milwaukee County for a charge of $5 per address. Visa or MasterCard accepted. Orders taken by fax, mail or phone.

Come in and have a pączek and coffee for $3.00 between 7:00-11:30 a.m.

Not interested in pączki? How about pancakes?

From the
Baltimore Sun:
Pancakes are the traditional food for the last meal before the start of Lent, the Christian season of fasting that starts next week. Whether it is known as Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, this day was used by our penitent ancestors to consume the last of the sugar, butter and eggs before the traditional 40 days of denial began.

In Ireland, Pancake Day is know as Pancake Tuesday. Read about Irish customs for Pancake Tuesday here.

Why choose between pączki and pancakes? Do both. It's Fat Tuesday!

Eat, drink, and be merry!
