Handsome

Aarron is one good looking bodybuilder! He has great arms, but I'm not crazy for the facial tattoo.

Donuts

Have you ever just wanted a doughnut, a fresh warm doughnut whose tasty dough just melts in your mouth? Some may immediately say no because of their diet. Forget the diet no matter how loose or strict, sometimes I think just about everyone craves a doughnut or like pastry. I had such a craving this morning and just had to put it down in words. Then again it could be that it is a dreary “fall” morning. I have fall in quotation marks because I write this from Florida.

Presented with a selection, I’m not sure which donut I would choose. A plain donut from a perfect recipe can be just as tasty as those with the added “fruit” or cream flavors. Then there are the glaze donuts that are always tasty when they are warm and the glaze is a little bit sticky. If the crème in the Boston Cream is made just right, those too can be ever so good to savor. Lately I have been staying away from the fruit filled donuts or those with the chocolate or vanilla icing, for they seem a bit too sweet and sugary. Then again, it could just be due to the fact that I’m getting older. Oh, and how can I forget the chocolate donuts that are sometimes plain and sometimes come with a glaze. They too can be great to have and can settle both a chocolate and donut craving!

With Halloween and the holidays approaching, we’re bound to see special flavor donuts appear. They can be a welcome addition to the regular selection. The special seasonal donuts can also serve as a reminder that it is ok to splurge once and a while and perhaps this is the time of year to do it. People are happy to see them for the seasonal memories they stuff while at the same time happy to see them go. Ok, I think by writing this my craving has passed.
