National Donut Day!
Did you know June 3rd was National Donut Day? NO? People, people - try to keep current. If we don't remember sacred national events like National Donut Day, what's next? Oops, forgot Nov 4th - National Chicken Lady Day? Hello! Standards, kids, we must maintain standards.
So, I remind the Capt. of this fact the day before and he, of course, is anxious to show his support. He's very patriotic. He did serve as a Marine, you know. And he is a Coast Guard Captain, after all.
Now, I'm not a big sweets eater. Never have been a chocoholic. I don't pour maple syrup on my pancakes (just butter - lots and lots of butter). I don't spread jam on my peanut butter sandwich or toast (again , butter should be enough for you). I eat ice cream (vanilla, of course) maybe once a year. I will eat plain NY cheesecake or creme brulee if really well done now and then but usually pass it up as most often I am disappointed (spoiled by my friend Beverly who is a killer cook and makes creme brulee to DIE for).
But, it's National Donut Day.
National Donut Day.
I have a patriotic responsibility, folks.
So, the Capt. asks me - plain old fashioned or a couple maple bars?
Oooo - tough choice. I do admit my other sweet guilty pleasure is a maple bar. I like to have most of one (feeding a chunk to each of four dogs) followed by a plain old fashioned (feeding a chunk to each of four dogs). And then it's nice to have the last maple bar that night as a dessert (feeding a chunk to each of four dogs).
So, I say, "since I had all old fashioned last time, lets go back to a maple bar, please!"
It's now the dawn of National Donut Day!! Hurrah! There is cheering in the streets! Parades are surely planned!
While my delicate self slumbers, the Capt. showers and makes his was to the store.
He selects his donut delights carefully. But, wait! Did the woman before his just purchase the last two maple bars??? How can he possible return home to his eagerly awaiting love with no maple bars? That's all his loving partner asked of him! How can he fail her?
With a heavy heart, he takes his purchases toward the front of the store.
Aha- what is that before him?
Why, it's a display rack. It's celebrating National Donut Day. And . . .
OMG! Can it really be?
There is ONE maple bar left on the rack. Just one!
Relieved, the Capt. grabs it and adds it to his shopping cart.
Victorious, he brings his trophies home.
Gently (okay, actually he calls the dogs in to jump on me and bruise various tender places) he awakens me to the glorious dawning of National Donut Day. I swear I heard a chorus (or was that puppy growls?) as I opened my eyes.
"I could only trap and kill you one maple bar, my angel."
I forgave him.
(Note: those are real, normal sized donuts behind the mammoth maple bar which was, yes was, the size of a sheet cake.)
