    Friday Feedings

    Fridays are doughnut day at the office and for Nathan. Typically, I promise him a doughnut on Friday mornings to combat his pestering for one every other day of the week. I can easily say, "No - doughnut day is Friday." And he usually accepts that.


    The past few months, I have also been buying 2-3 dozen doughnuts for the office on Fridays, only to arrive at the office and find at least one other box of doughnuts already on the breakroom table with the dregs of doughnuts left. You know which ones I am talking about - the cake doughnut with maple icing and chopped nuts. The one nobody wants until it is 3:30 and someone realizes his blood sugar is dropping and he must eat that last doughnut that has been sitting out for 6 hours.


    The reason I buy doughnuts, still, is it is the only way I can guarantee that I will get a doughnut that I will eat. I am really quite selective. My doughnut of choice is a glazed old fashioned. Love them. It's really the only doughnut I want to eat. Everything else leaves me wishing I had not eaten one.


    Usually, doughnuts look better than they actually taste. And Krispy Kreme? Too sweet. Those things make my teeth hurt - and I like sugar. So that means they must be really sweet. We do not have Dunkin Donuts in these parts, but I remember it fondly from New Mexico. We have Daylight Donuts franchises all over the place and they are consistently tasty. The other one I like is a local place - Merritt's. Yummmmmm.


    What is your favorite doughnut?
