You know, even if I did want a new bakery, I’m so spoiled by the one I’ve been going to, I don’t think I can ever find another quite as good.
the great thing about having your own exclusive bakery is that you always get your donuts for free!

Oh, there’s always a price tag associated with the free donuts. It may not be visible at first, but it’s there. Sure, you get the first few free, it’s all laughs and donuts, pastries all-around. Then you decide that you like a particular donut shop and decide to invest.
After the deal closes, first thing you notice is that the cruellers don’t get eaten quite as much as they used to. Then you can’t have the donuts 'cause the baker is too tired. And heaven forbid you should forget the day you frosted your first coffe roll, no donuts for a long time after that.
Oh, but it’s just not the same when you make them yourself! Other people’s donuts are always more interesting.
I’ve only tried a donut hole once.
I dunno. It was just a little too… ummm…
popular.
What I’ve learned:
-
Somebody else’s donut always looks better than mine.
-
Sometimes I’m wrong. (Say there, that’s a fine lookin’ donut you’ve got there.)
In addition to my wife and Kim not sharing their donuts with me, my wife thinks I’d prefer Bear Claws to regular glazed.
I’m not sure what she means by that.
Mmmmmmmmm, bare claws.
Mmmmmmm . . . forbidden donut.
While I love the bakery I have gotten donuts from in the past year, I’m afraid I’m going to have to go in search for a different bakery very soon. The baker and I just don’t seem to see eye to eye on her business practices, and the price is just getting too high for me.
I’m really going to miss those donuts. They were great donuts.
I hope I can find another bakery soon. I hate eating donuts alone. It’s just not the same…

Are you refering to the Doper with the name mmm… forbidden doughnut or the Donut that Dare Not Speak Its Name?
I had some excellent donuts this weekend, but they’re off the menu at least until January.

I thought I might have a donut this weekend, but it turns out it’s full of rasberry jelly.
Thank God for threadspotting. Even though I never get to have donuts, I find it reassuring to know they still exist.

My heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I have a fine recipe for simple, unglazed but fresh out of the kettle donuts. It hasn’t gotten any use for a while but I suspect I can heat up the oil.
mmmmmmmm… oil!

MsRobyn, I can tell you the last time donuts were off the menu that long, the very first one I shared was one of the best donuts ever! Although I had to be careful not to gulp it down too quickly!
“Time to make the donuts…”

A Simpsons Halloween special reference, where Homer sells his soul to the devil in exchange for a donut.
Homer avoids keeping his end of the bargin by not finishing the entire donut, but later his stomach gets the best of him when he goes through the fridge for a midnight snack and spots the unfinished “forbidden donut”
I often find that the donuts offered to me by GrizzWife often need to be subdued with several well-placed slaps to the underside. Then, must be restrained on the plate in order to keep the donut from wriggling too much. That way, I can take a long long time to reeeealy enjoy the donut. I prefer that the donut have a sheer glazed coating, which I may or may not remove before consuming. I usually have only one, but sometimes I am hungry enough for two!
GrizzWife likes to know that her donut is there, but likes to be teased by not being allowed to have it. She must ask repeatedly. She’s allowed a taste every few minutes. Her blindfold keeps her from seeing the donuts, although she knows they’re right there.
But once she DOES have her donuts, she’ll have several… one right after the other. Then she’ll have many more smaller donuts for about an hour.
Thems some gooooooood donuts!
I know that potatoe donuts were the talk of the town for awhile.
I tried a couple of them butt thoughts of Quayle did little to enhance my enjoyment of the donut. Well, not much anyway.
Call me old fashioned.
Mmmmmm, glazed donuts.
