on Fat Tuesday. There are virtually every flavor or filling you can think of. Although the prune, lemon, custard, cherry, and raspberry seem to be the most common.
As many of you already know the tradition started long ago as a Carnival Celebration beginning on or shortly after the Epiphany and is before Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten season and is a time when many Christians will symbolically give up or sacrifice something in prayer. This has deep spiritual significance and is done to renew their commitment to baptism.
On a lighter note and in the tradition of Fat Tuesday I have bought my six pack of Paczkis in blueberry, cherry, and custard flavors. Can't wait to taste one of those later on as they are waiting gently in the box on my kitchen counter top. Wait, what's that? I think I hear one calling now. LOL
I will be taking part in the Lenten season by giving up beef and pizza; both of which aren't healthy for me anyway. There are times when I really have a taste for both these foods so it will be a challenge. However, I'm sure I will remain strong in my endeavor to sacrifice and give up these foods. In parting I wish you all a Happy Fat Tuesday...
