If you grew up in or around Detroit, you know that today is Paczki Day. What is a Paczki (pronounced Punch Key) you may ask? Well, it's really just a Jelly Doughnut but for one day of the year (Fat Tuesday) we indulge the Hamtramickites (the Polish section of Detroit is known as Hamtramick) and pretend that they are something exceptional. (They may not be exceptional but they ARE tasty.) It's like Santa and the Easter Bunny, fun to indulge in one day of the year. Anyway, if you have a doughnut today, just call it a Paczki and enjoy it. If you rarely eat doughnuts (Like most of us older dudes have resigned ourselves to) today is the day to splurge. Soooo, if you eat one doughnut a year ... rejoice! Today is the day!
