Lansing - In a huge, brightly lit warehouse, dozens of bakers are scattered about on the floor, all concerned with upholding a tradition that started many years ago. And some say that tradition of baking paczki each year for Fat Tuesday is perfected there, at the Quality Dairy bakery, 1335 Diamond Reo Way. “We’ve got the very best fruit filling,” gushed Quality Dairy bakery operations merchandiser Dan Lovill. Fat Tuesday is the annual Tuesday prior to Ash Wednesday, when Quality Dairy stores see long lines of customers in the stores, all with the hope of returning home with paczki. Paczki (pronounced poonch-key), round jelly-filled pastries, are made only about a week prior to Fat Tuesday to commemorate the beginning of Lent’s 40-day fast. That Tuesday has become a popular day for customers, and 250,000 paczki will be made in total, Lovill said. “A batch takes about an hour and 10 minutes to make,” he said.
The events of Sept. 11 will forever be remembered by every American. And as the opening ceremonies of the 19th Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City showed, we aren’t the only ones who remember. From the introduction to the lighting of the cauldron by the 1980 men’s Olympic hockey gold medalists, these games have taken on a new persona. There’s still going to be that competitive fire that’s been the foundation of the games for as long as one can trace it back, but now more than ever, the nations are more unified. America and perhaps the entire world will never forget the images of the twin towers crashing down upon the Manhattan landscape. The olympians are here to represent, and win medals for their countries, but they’re also here to show these games can exist during a chaotic time. That was my feeble attempt to create a NBC-like dramatic introduction to this column.
