Prompt: National Donut Day! Do you like donuts? What’s your favorite?
I mean, yeah. I actually love a nice cinnamon sugar donut or those little powdered mini donuts. I went to an event a couple of weeks ago and there was actually a super cute mini-donut food truck!
But the thing about sweets is, if I have them around or in the house, I will eat them. All. Until they are gone. And that’s something that I have to be careful about.
So my relationship with donuts is very love-hate.
Ugh. Time change last night meant it got dark early tonight. I’ll be happy to have the sunshine in the morning, but the early darkness is so depressing. Another love-hate situation.
But before it got dark, it was a decent day. Nice, long dog walk, clean kitchen, and packing for Mexico has begun. Then a couple of hours of pickleball with my neighbors and home to take a nice, long, steamy shower, do some laundry, and get ready for a couple of workdays. Then I’m off on my first real vacation since the start of the pandemic!
Maybe I’ll even eat a donut or two on my holiday!
xo,
GS

Ughhh. Why is it so hard?!

Pickle ball is a.lot of fun. It is a lot more difficult to play than what you think. But.ince you have played a few times it really is an enjoyable game.

You're right! It's been harder than I thought, but actually more fun than I thought it would be too!

I was never much of a donut fan - like sure, they’re tasty, but never something I think of to buy. But the few times I’ve had vegan donuts over the past few years, they were so so good, probably just because I never thought I’d be able to ask one again! My fave is ‘vanilla sourdough’ which is kind of just like a honey dip, or any sort of fritter.

Ohhhh, they sound delicious! I love anything sourdough. Will watch for these.

I love french crullers. I tend to order plain.
Also I want to know when Hawaiian donuts got changed to the much more boring "Sprinkles"
