What am I craving?
July 20, 2012
I’m still thinking about my doughnut, bacon, maple post from last week.
I was recently on a road trip and stopped (twice) at a doughnut shop (Dunkin Donuts) and was dismayed at the poor quality of the product. These shops advertise that they offer quality goods, (mostly) twenty-four hours a day. Not this time. The donuts were stale.
A bit later, on another trip, I encountered a stellar doughnut shop, on my way to the airport in Roanoke, Virginia (Krispy Kreme). It was all one could expect – friendly, white-haired ladies in aprons at the counter, a bright, clean shop, a wide selection of fresh, fresh doughnuts, a wonderful aroma. Doughnut heaven.
I know this is a frivolous post and doughnuts are nutritional instruments of the devil, but oh they can be so good. We don’t have many doughnut shops where I live. Ich ben wanting ein berliner.

You can’t drive a mile without making contact with deep fried doughy treats in my neck of the woods. Maybe that’s why I went back to weight watchers today. My post is, also, about baked goods. Is there something in the air?
Luscious bread photos on your post! Apparently we both saw the “knead” to “rise” and post about bakery, rather than “loafing” around. Sorry.
