This donut has purple in the middle, purple is a fruit. – Homer Simpson
A few weeks ago, Apryl and I attended our friends Trey and Rachel’s first weekly pancake mornings, which the couple put together as an excuse to keep up with their friends, all the while enjoying a hearty brunch of flapjacks and coffee. That first morning was actually the “unofficial” launch of the idea, so the couple were still working out some of the kinks. Well, yesterday, Apryl and I returned for the first time since that first gathering, and I must say Trey and Rachel have gotten down their system, not only with even tastier pancakes but faster serving with the aid of an electric skillet!
Since we haven’t seen Trey and Rachel for awhile, we hung out with for a bit longer than everyone else, and indulged in what was underneath the glass cake dome all morning.
A few posts down I mentioned the converted 7-Eleven/Kwik-E-Mart in Chicago. Well, Trey and Rachel made the long trek to the store, which is located on the far south side of Chicago, and brought back frosted cover donuts and Buzz Cola.
See below:
Rachel cut the donut into four slices (though Apryl was too full on pancakes or frightened to partake), and we each had a bite. And I must say that I was very surprised. It wasn’t bad at all. I thought the pink frosting and sprinkles on top were going to over power the donut, but it really didn’t. You really were able to enjoy the donut, which tasted like a traditional cake donut from Krispy Kreme. Mmm, donuts.
I didn’t taste the Buzz Cola so nothing to report there other than I heard (er, read) it was “like Pepsi, but with more zap!”
