Today is National Doughnut Day and to celebrate it our excellent local bakery offered all of their doughnuts for $.25. How could we not take advantage of that??

When we got there is was pretty busy. The kids took lots of time trying to decide which doughnut to get, but there were really only three types to chose from: powdered sugar, vanilla with sprinkles, and chocolate with peanuts. I decided to make everything easier I'd just order 4 of each for an even dozen and that way if anyone changed their mind we'd have plenty. So our turn comes and I tell one of the harried counter girls, "Four of each, please." She goes and gets a box and starts to fill it up. Just a moment later, the baker comes out of the back with several more trays of doughnuts and before I could flag down the counter girl, I had two dozen doughnuts. But for a quarter a piece, it wasn't a mistake I couldn't afford!

We still have 19 left, but we haven't had our after diner doughnuts yet and we also have company this weekend, so I'm pretty confident we can reduce those numbers before they all get too stale to eat.

Next year I'll know that there are dozens of doughnuts to chose from and won't limit myself to just what is showing when I walk in the door! Happy Doughnut Day!
