Happy (Belated) National Donut Day!
Yeah, I'm a bit of a sucker for outlandish food holidays. I celebrate National Pie Day (January 23rd) and Pi Day (March 14th, duh) with strict reverence- I'll admit that I have a fetish for baked goods. But I slipped up slightly and missed this one, which is apparently June 4th. Still I think I made up for it this morning when I ate an apple fritter the size of my head. No joke. Donuts are actually one of my favorite baked goods: they taste AMAZING and manage to easily traverse the boundary between 'breakfast' and 'dessert'. I'm all about apple fritters, bear claws, powdered jellies & buttermilk bars. In fact, I think I might have to go eat another one right now...
RIP Rainbow Donuts-undoubtedly the best donut place that has ever existed. Unfortunately, McDonald's bought the building and turned it into a parking lot
'Donut' or 'Doughnut'? I've always preferred the former personally. Serious Eats discusses the difference and breaks down some other terminology here (http://www.seriouseats.com/2007/05/the-serious-eats-doughnut-glos.html)
