Lent

Here are my favorite things about Lent here in Chicago.


This was what I saw when I dropped John off at the train station on Ash Wednesday.


Paczkis (pronounced pooch-key) from Bennisons in Evanston.  Yum!  Bennisons is a traditional European bakery that only makes Polish Paczkis once a year on Fat Tuesday.  My mom and I couldn't decide which onces we wanted, so we took a few of each.  They were out of my favorite from last year (strawberries and cream), but the bananas and cream, cream cheese, and chocolate mousse are all in the running for second.
