doughnuts

In honor of the delicious, dangerously delectable, deep-fried dough, here is a delightful photo of the famous Bacon Maple Doughnut from Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, Oregon. I haven’t tried it, because I don’t live near Portland. But I’m inspired enough by this photo to add bacon to my own doughnut sometime! Yum!

What do you think? Does a bacon maple doughnut sound good to you?

It’s almost July, and the air is thick and sticky here. This weather reminds me of all the sweaty hours I’ve spent at fairs over the years. County fairs, 4-H fairs, my sister’s horse shows, State Fairs, arts and craft shows, etc. It’s always hot at those fairs, but it’s okay, because you can usually find someone selling mini-donuts! Nothing takes the “ugh” out of a hot, humid, Midwestern summer day, like a little bag of freshly fried, cinnamoned-and-sugared donuts. These are the perfect ending to a corn dog and lemonade lunch. Yum!

Well, I wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to have donuts, even if I was a couple of days late for the official Day of the Donut. Here are the tasty fried pastries I brought home. Since they don’t have holes, they may not be “real” donuts, but they were covered in icing and rainbow sprinkles, and they were delicious!
