Paczki Day - Stan Szymaski was one of a crowd of pasty lovers who showed up early at Dough Boys Bakery, 2380 W Stadium Blvd., early today to purchase paczki, the jelly- or cream-filled doughballs that are traditionally eaten on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. It's a Polish tradition that calls for everyone to eat up any sweets before the 40 days of fasting during Lent begins. A paczek (the singular of paczki) has more eggs and butter in the batter to make them lighter and richer than the typical jelly doughnut -- though certainly no lower in calories.
