Todd came home late last night from a work related event with a big pink box full of donuts! He told me that he got me *pink ones* — surely color isn’t how donuts should get chosen… They are really cute though.
These are from Voodoo Doughnuts. I love that they hand-stamp their philosophy on to otherwise plain pink box (it doesn’t even have their store name on it…).
I woke up this morning and found another drizzly day. It’s not that I mind the rain, but I mean…where’s spring? And then I remembered that I have half a donut left over from Todd bringing me home one last night which cheered me up greatly!
And yummy coffee too. It’s from Stumptown, we’ve tried several varieties from them but I finally found my ‘favorite’. It’s Burundi Bwayi. Todd asked them which roast might be good for someone who enjoys Sumatra/Kenyan and they suggested this one. It should have been obvious, but it wasn’t until it was pointed out that I probably like coffee from Africa (rather than say South America). Burundi Bwayi claims that “Violet and raisin aromatics open the flavor gates to perfectly clean notes of plum, black cherry and orange zest that are complimented by a syrupy body.” Whatever. It’s yummy.
I’m thinking of giving cloth napkins another chance, but I don’t know. I bought a few and made a few a while back, but I failed to make the switch back then. I think that this was because we don’t have enough of them, and also because I hate laundry. But seriously, I’m appalled by how much paper napkin/towels we go through!
We finally had the chance to visit Portland’s famous tourist attraction: Voodoo Doughnut (This door is actually the back door…).
They are known for wacky looking donuts with creative names, and people seem to LOVE their maple bacon doughnut. (You should totally check out their website, the donuts really are fun to look at).
…But you know, I didn’t really like it all that much. I really wanted to! They didn’t have any French Cruellers left and their glazed donuts was “okay”. I suppose I should have tried one of their fun donuts, but I like my donut kinda plain and and not too sweet. It’s fine though because I count 16 other local donuts shops (on Yelp search) in Portland — surely I’ll find one I like eventually!
