D'oh Donuts

Happy Donuts Day! Did you grabbed for a donut today or is it your favorite companion with coffee or milk? Donuts are one of my favorite snacks to munch on but not as much as our friend, Homer Simpson. You can find donuts everywhere from the bakery, local grocery, fast food restaurants and even in your kitchen! :) I have a question for all of you, how do you spell donut? Is it "doughnut" or "donut"?? The world may never know the truth to the spelling of donut. On television, donuts are usually portrayed by middle aged man with a belly munching on a doughnut such as Homer and most policemen. (Sorry, I was not trying to offend anyone here.) No matter what kind of doughnut is your favorite; it is one of my favorite breakfast/snacks.

As you can see, we stereotyped police officers as always munching on a donut instead of paying attention to their duties. The fat and sugar from the doughnuts probably created that beer belly similar to Homer's. I remember one time, watching a Youtube video of a police officer stealing donuts through a window with their baton. It was so funny because the police officer was stealing the donut by using the help of the baton but silly officer was captured on video. Haha! Here is another video referencing to police and firefighters by Remarkably Mark: Our Heroes

Flavors, smell, texture, and yumminess are some of the factors of choosing donuts. There are so many different types of doughnuts such as Fritters, Long Johns, Boston Cream, Jelly filled, Custard filled, not filled, one hole, and no holes aka. munchkins. There so many doughnut chains all over the nation and the world like Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kremes, and so on. However, the Krispy Kremes in Chicago are all closed down due to the economy. I really loved the way Krispy Kremes was structured because on the outside there will be a sign flashing fresh donuts in bright red and neon lights. You could smell the sweet aroma in the parking lot before entering the door and once you are inside it is like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. You will see a glass wall which separates the sitting area from the donut making machine where you see dozens and dozens of doughnuts are created. They served only a few variety of donuts but my all time favorite is the plain sugar glazed donuts.There are some bear shaped which is "oh so cute" that I don't want to eat that poor thing or it would bite me back.

Donuts are really good and could be addicting which is definitely a bad thing. Some might say that doughnuts are like drugs and you can not stop eating it. The icon of a doughnut is usually the round doughnut with a hole in the center as shown in the pictures. The frosting is covered in bright pink blankets on top of the fluffy goodness. Don't forget the rainbow sprinkles which gives it the signature look. Some people are so obsessed with donuts that they created a cake shaped of a doughnut with Homer laying on top. Donut is one of the best desserts to eat with coffee or milk, your call.

Haha, I wished there is such a thing as "donut seeds" which will be a good to make loads and loads of money. I love the idea but sadly it is just a make believe thing. :/ Who wouldn't want a donut tree planted in their backyard? Anywho, donuts are the best thing that is ever created in the world! I LOVE DONUTS!!
