Dunkin’s hosting a competition. Here’s mine: Pumpkin cake with pistachio cream filling, maple frosting, and milk chocolate shavings.

    Yum!

    Didn’t you recently talk about high blood pressure/cholesterol/ heart trouble? Ah, those pesky reality checks!

    Mildly elevated cholesterol and blood pressure. But I’ve also lost 20 pounds since my last checkup. So I deserve a doughnut, dammit.

    Deputy holds family in hospital parking lot while mother dies for running red light on way to hospital:

    What happened to police helping people get to the emergency room or to deliver babies? And you know that if this wasn’t an NFL player, this probably wouldn’t even be a story because the family just would have accepted that this is what the police do (clearly abuse of power and discretion).

    For those of you new to this site a word of caution. There will be some interesting items to read here, but this is not a site for people that love liberty and freedom. This is a sight that was designed to further the cause of legalizing trans-fats. The gentleman that runs this site is willing to overlook the current Washington power grab in the hopes that one day he will be able to eat his custom-designed donuts without worrying about getting in trouble. He is like many other young idealists who think their own talents enable them to shortcut 240 years of a republic whose citizens live freer than any in mankinds history. He is also too smart to see what 2,000 years of healthy eating has done to uplift mankind and free us from tyranny. He’s like the 25 year old man in Caracus that sits in Krispy Kreme while Hugo’s men storms the ADM plant.

    Hmmm,

    Round doughnut > Cheesecake filling > Chocolate glaze. Pretty simple doughnut but delicious nonetheless!

    That is one of the more disgusting doughnuts that I can imagine. Pumpkin, pistachio, and maple? WTF?!

  10. #10 |  Judi |  March 26th, 2009 at 10:52 am

    YUM!

    Mine is a pineapple-coconut filling with white icing. Tropical like a day in summer at the beach!

    AC…Maybe the cop was pissed because he hadn’t had HIS ‘doughnut’ for the day…

    Doughnut? Donut? Both?

    I’m gonna get back to you on this one later, sometime after, say, 4:20 this afternoon. Mountain time. After I get some inspiration.

    Seriously…I just ralphed in the back of my throat. Radley…please tell me this unholy fusion of flavors isn’t intended seriously…

    No bacon?

    I didn’t even know pistachio filling existed. My world is upside down.

    I have to agree with thomasblair, though. Maple is like the Hitler of frostings: Universally reviled.

    I worked at Dunkin’ Donuts in college. It was the best job I ever had. I made lots of crazy donuts and ate all I wanted.
    We had bacon there, too. It was heaven on earth.

    Was this in response to my doughnut crack on the Idol post?

  18. #18 |  Regarding Liberty |  March 26th, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    I can’t believe Godwin’s law would get invoked in a doughnut post.

  19. #19 |  A.G. Pym |  March 26th, 2009 at 2:48 pm

    What, no bacon?

  20. #20 |  Gonzo |  March 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    It was a legitimate comparison, Regarding Liberty! I stand by the efficacy of my simile.

    Then apparently I’m living in a different universe, because the maple donuts are one of my favorites. In fact, to me maple is sort of the sweet equivalent of bacon: it makes everything better.

    If it’s real maple flavor that would be ok, but the fake stuff is vomit-inducing. Especially on bacon. And plain glazed Krispy Kremes are as good a doughnuts get.
