Day 8
You know what I love?Doughnuts.
A doughnut is a type of fried dough food popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet (or occasionally savory) snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. They are usually sweet, deep-fried and shaped in rings or flattened spheres that sometimes contain fillings. Other types of dough such as potato can also be used as well as other batters, and various toppings and flavorings are used for different types.
I love maple-bacon doughnuts. There are several varieties of maple-bacon, including the “Long John” which is coated in a maple glaze with a single piece of bacon on top. There is the bacon filled and the bacon fried-in-dough maple-glazed. But my favorite is the maple-glazed, maple-filled, that has been rolled in bacon pieces.
One time, I was in New York. For breakfast, I wandered into a doughnut shop that had been recommended to me. As I sipped my hot coffee and ate my maple-bacon hunk of goodness, in walks RoboCop. Now, I knew that he had been transferred from Detroit after OCP had finally gone under, and control of the government was restored to the people, but I didn’t know he wound up working for the NYPD.
I have the utmost respect for law enforcement and am whole heartedly thankful for the risk they take each day for us. That being said, officers that have been on the force for a while tend to get, shall we say…familiar with eateries on their beat. Apparently, RoboCop had become VERY familiar with this particular doughnut shop. As he came in, I began to gawk, but his presence was so familiar to the locals, no one else seemed to notice. He walked to the counter and placed an order for three dozen French crullers and one strawberry glazed. He then began to chow down, eating the entire lot in a few moments. He then stood up, thanked the cashier and said, “Please tell Joe I’ll be by again around noon for another three dozen.”
So, anyway, New York was fun.
