Paczki Day, 2007

   Today is Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Carnival, Pancake Tuesday, or, as
   we say here in Chicago, Paczki Day. Paczki (pronounced, roughly,
   âpunch-keyââthe vowel is a nasalized schwa), pictured above, are
   Polish filled doughnuts. You can get pretty good paczki at the
   Alliance Bakery in Wicker Park or at my local Polish bakery, the
   Gladstone Park Bakery.

   You might enjoy a [1]video report from ABC 7 Chicago on the
   pronunciation, production, and tradition of paczki.
