Paczki have been known in Poland at least since the Middle Ages. Jedrzej Kitowicz has described that during the reign of August III, under the influence of French cooks who came to Poland, paczki dough was improved, so that paczki became lighter, spongier, and more resilient.The reason for making paczki was to use up all the lard, sugar, eggs and fruit in the house, because they were forbidden to be consumed due to Catholic fasting practices during Lent. “

There’s definitely a heady atmrspheoe of confidence and possibility here which I guess has a lot in common with rebound girlfriend syndrome. Except I met this particular rebound city months ago, and have been essentially living with her for the past six months Put another way, I try to be honest about how I feel about things for good or ill. I came to Vegas with a lot of cynicism and the city particularly downtown has so far proved me wrong.
