Today is National Donut Day. Winder Dairy used to deliver my milk twice a week. They came very early on Mondays and Thursdays. It was a wonderful convenience, because with four teenagers in the house we always seemed to be out of milk. Sometimes as a special treat I’d add a box of cake donuts to our order. The year before ZCMI closed, Heather had a standing homework assignment to walk up to the bakery counter, look the attendant in the eye (a real challenge) and ask for a chocolate donut. Instead of teaching her to make eye contact and speak clearly, it taught the employees to reach for a donut when they saw her coming. Donuts are clearly an American thing. There are a few places here that advertise “American Donuts,” but what they offer bears little resemblance. Oh, for a hot glazed Krispy Kreme right now.
just a few more days and you can get yourself a Krispy Kreme! :)
ReplyDeleteSome military bases have Krispy Kreme, Taco Bell, Wendy's and Pizza Hut. Ours isn't big enough for that. We do have a shelf where (sometimes) you can find day-old donuts. The other day I tried one. It was so awful I took a single bite and offered the rest to Heather. She said it was "evil," but ate it anyway.
