"Fat Thursday"

Today (March 3) is "Fat Thursday" in Poland.
I'm not sure if it's always the first Thursday in March.
I have also heard that it is the start of lent, which means
that it would be so many weeks before Easter.
On this day people eat donuts all day long - starting
at breakfast ending at bedtime.  Here we are eating our
lunchtime donuts.

This is my first and only one. 
Elder Plumb had three for breakfast and one for lunch.
Last year he ate 20-25.
Elder Siebert ate 5 for breakfast, three for lunch and
left our apartment with three in a bag.
The story is that one elder last year ate 45 and felt sick for a couple of days.
