All Things in Moderation

I pass this little mom and pop donut (I know, it's spelled, doughnut.) shop every morning. I seldom if every stop since I like to be able to glance down and see my belt buckle, but you know what, once in a while doesn't hurt.

Went to bed early last night which of course forced me awake at 'oh my God dark thirty.' After a quick shower and a swift brush of lips with my lovely wife I was out the door and down the road before I knew what had hit me.

Traffic was light since the morning was dark. Then the soft white glow of the 'Donut Shoppe' sign came into view. What 'da heck....I nosed the truck in and parked.

I'm a simple man. I like my pastries plain and glazed. Those sprinkles and weird fillings should be restricted to little girls and wussy boys and those that follow golf.

The girls flirted and I tipped and soon arrived at the shop and before long the smell of fresh coffee and warm just out of the grease donuts filled the office with sweet goodness.


We should all treat ourselves on occasion.

 See my smile...

  1. I'd prefer a cinnamon twist or a powdered sugar cake donut, myself.

  3. i haven't seen a proper doughnut in about 2yrs - i'd eat 40 of them on the spot and take 40 home for jambaloney. then we'd share, 20 each. and i'd eat all my 20, no probs!

    those are some nice looking doughnuts! i like mine plain and simple, too!

    your friend,

  5. Stephen,

    Moderation is a good word when it comes to eating food.
    I try to go by this rule, sometimes it doesn't always work:-)

    Enjoy your donut.....doughnut!

    1. Yes, indeed. It's hard, at times, to draw from the table or refuse the second serving of fine food, but in the end discipline saves lives. Until you reach the magic age of who gives a damn, I'm too old to care.
