doughnut day at mobileread - Page 12

Peverel · 06-02-2009, 08:07 AM

I have eaten doughnuts and a cream slice - I showed them to my staff and told them I was protecting their waistlines.

Seems some bakeries are doing well: Honeybuns Bee Shack Cafe

(Okay, maybe not doughnuts, but as good as....)

Later this morning I intend to nip down to the Franciscan bakery and get a creme filled Bismark. I'd go to Mr D's, but that involves exercise, so forget it.

Rebarnmom can tell you what delights I am indulging in...

pshrynk, have you and your La Crosse friends been playin' with the cement again?

when did they start to make zanny carter doughnuts?

pshrynk · 06-02-2009, 11:30 AM

Two years from now, which is why they are available today.

Uncross your fingers, it all worked out. Not as big an assignment as I thought it would be, three to five days at the most to complete all the remaining tasks and revise what has been done. I collected the retainer check. Now on to today's the big questions ...

He had a traditional cake donut and a powdered cake donut with a decaf coffee, Splenda, and cream. I had two maple frosted donuts and a regular coffee.

Two? Excellent! Good on ya, Master Wood. Mine was a rather boring glazed one from Shipley's. I think I should try another one from someplace else on the way home this afternoon. Maybe a lovely pistachio baklava from the Lebanese restaurant nearby.

(Oh, yeah. Good about that job thing, too.)

RWood · 06-02-2009, 04:05 PM

There were certain foods I loved as a kid like peanut butter that I can't stand today. Likewise, if I eat a certain dish too many times I grow tired of it and may not want to see it for 6 months or so. About a year ago I had an assignment near a donut shop and ate far too many donuts. Not only did my belt need an extra notch, I started to lose interest in donuts. (Forgive me Uncle Duke for I have sinned.)

Long story short, I moved on and now I am very careful to eat donuts in moderation. Sure I want that third donut (and 4th, and 5th, ...); but, by stopping at two I know that I will want them again. As we grow older we lose too many things of youth, I do not want donuts to be one of the things I lose.

There ya go. And while this might not be as big as you had hoped, he will most certainly come back for more when he sees your outstanding work!

I remember studying for an Organic Chem final one night in college. But I just had to have something to eat for a temporary distraction. Off to Dunkin Donuts I went and I came back with a dozen which I promptly downed in one sitting. An hour or so later I was almost nauseous. Needless to say, I did not do well on the exam. But they were great for that one hour!
