Maybe see a therapist. Or at least a doughnut baker. I’d buy you a long john if it’d help you heal, brother. Read more

There IS a mention of old fashioneds. Read #3. Read more
Read #3. It’s all good. Read more
It’s not right or humane, but I’ve had dreams of kidnapping incredible chefs and bakers to have them at my beck’n’call whenever I’m feeling peckish. Read more
Subbing honey for rose syrup. Yes, a definite correlation, but, chronologically, gulab jamun are like loukoumades;-) Read more
So the cost of a dozen KK is now less than a single, average NYC doughnut. Amazeballs. Maybe this is sneakily a campaign to kill the artisan doughnut shopppe. Read more
But what a backstory paczki come with. Weave a jelly doughnut story of true cultural importance that incentivizing and you, too, can make a mint on jelly-filled fried dough. Read more

Except, those “zeppole” are like a Dunkin’ Munchkin’ next to a French cruller. It’s just not the same but they share a name somehow. That said, I’d probably be in heaven eating your gramma’s treats. Read more
Humans ARE weird. Rejoice. Read more
You’re barrel-aging homebrew? Man, I’ll bring the tri-tip if we can cook it over those chipped staves and drink that beer. Read more
I asked Ms. Begay if she was familiar with matzo. It’s far less tasty on its own than frybread, but it’s definitely the Jewish equivalent of an enduring symbol of resilience. Sufganiyot, on the other hand... Read more
