I loved this, though it did make me want a doughnut, which is inconvenient, since my favorite bakery is closed today. If you find yourself anywhere near Santa Cruz, you should come visit, meet my baby and my dog, and also take advantage of the proximity to one of the best gluten-free bakeries I've ever visited. Melinda's has quite a variety of doughnuts, including a maple (my favorite), and they tend cake-y, which I really like. New Cascadia in Portland and Pushkin's in Sacramento are also very good, but for GF doughnuts (and croissants), you really can't beat Melinda's.
Your piece has me snouting around the house looking for donuts (and the obligatory coffee) but I had to settle for a frosted week-old Easter cookie. I really loved the imagery of the fly trapped under the glaze. It’s got me thinking of how many creative types are trapped under glaze, grinding away at day jobs that function just like the glaze did for that fly. It reminds of a Vonnegut quote. I’ll send the picture of the page I took, but it looks like this app won’t let me send an image here? I think?
We live on the Oregon Coast and we have no… good donuts 😭😭😭
