Happy Fat Thursday

February 15th, 2007

Fat Thursday? I thought it was fat tuesday? You’re right, in the US we celebrate paczki day on the first Tuesday before ash Wednesday. Start stocking up on donuts, because Tat Tuesday is coming up on the 20th.

In Poland, they do things a little bit differently. Fat Thursday is the Polish feast that marks the last Thursday before Lent. It’s very similiar to Mardi Gras. Today is a day of gluttony that we fat kids have been looking forward to for a long time.

The best part is that being of polish heritage, I can celebrate today and Tuesday!
