In honor of Fat Tuesday, I attended a “Paczki-Palooza” of sorts! Thanks to Chef Dobra and her family at Delightful Pastries, we helped make chrusciki crueller cookies and fried our own paczki, glazed and filled them.

It was a special piece Chef Dobra received from
a family member and is over 50 years old!
