#HappyPaczkiDay!
Chicago has endless love for our Polish population. It‘s the highest in the nation. So Paczki Day and Pulaski Day are serious.
The tagged book is a visceral history of Polish immigrants who worked in Chicago‘s meat packing district. It‘s free. Please read it.
JoScho I don‘t know what that is but I am jealous! 6y
WhatDeeReads @JoScho it‘s a Polish doughnut. You should be very jealous. 6y

MicheleinPhilly Are those the doughnuts that are like the size of your head? 6y
WhatDeeReads @MicheleinPhilly No! 🤣 It‘s the camera angle. They‘re quite large, but no bigger than your average doughnut. 6y
MicheleinPhilly Ah, okay. Our next door neighbor once served us these doughnuts that were ENORMOUS. I can‘t remember what she called them but I was like, “Am I supposed to eat this in one sitting?” 6y
UrsulaMonarch What a wonderful post! I miss this from Chicagoland - have not found any in the Bay Area! 6y
UrsulaMonarch Plus great book & photo! 👍👍👍 6y
knittedgnome Yum! I ate two. Ha! I couldn't decide between strawberry or Bavarian cream. I feel so gross. But it's only one day a year! Lol 6y
WhatDeeReads @UrsulaMonarch Thank you! I love paczki. I love Chicago. I hope you find one! I‘ve been meaning to visit the Bay Area for a long while. I have dreams of palm trees. 6y
WhatDeeReads @knittedgnome I also had two. One glazed and one powdered. Both raspberry filling. I am fearing the crash, but otherwise I feel ok. No regrets. 6y
knittedgnome I feel like if I hadn't eaten them back to back it wouldn't have been so bad. They were so good! 6y
AlaMich Fellow Chicagoan here! And I have never had a paczki 😳. It‘s because I‘m not really a fan of jelly doughnuts, although I‘ve been told I have to try one anyway. 6y
WhatDeeReads @AlaMich You were told correctly! Some of them have Bavarian cream, if that‘s more your taste. 6y
