Well, consider the source.

ObFatTuesday: I have heard enough about the wonders of paczki (sp) to
wish they were available out where I lived. But my church had a pancake
supper because 1) we are Anglican after all and 2) it's easy for a couple
of people to put together. One of the local parishes covers multiple
bases by having gumbo and pancakes - they have some experienced gumbo
chefs because they always serve gumbo for their monthly "free meal" for the
poor. Not sure if they have donuts as well .
