I’m clueless. There’s little wrong with the coffee+doughnut equation (no matter how you spell the treat). On a regular day, especially a rainy one, the combo of hot coffee and a circle sweet bring an instant smile. On sunnier, warmer days, an iced coffee and a doughnut–you get the picture.
Now, regardless of weather, and this is no cruel calendar joke, tomorrow, Friday, the 5th of June is a calendar keeper–it’s National Doughnut Day. This is no made-up holiday but one that traces its roots back to 1938. If you’re more interested in the food possibilities, plan ahead and do your own personal best taste test. The options are not limited to the national brands, check with your local bakery and entice them to join in on the fun. In the meantime, consider these two specials:
–Dunkin’ Donuts (see the spelling) will let the customer choose any donut with the purchase of any beverage.
–Krispy Kreme thinks you might want to get a drink, but they are enticing with free doughnuts, no purchase necessary.
Hmm, imagine those will be some impressive lines!
What a perfect combo: A Friday and a free treat. Sweet.
Walk to the doughnut store; there’s less guilt.
Enjoy.

Yes! I heard about this glorious holiday on my way to work. With no D&D or KK in site, I headed to the local starbucks (these are always in site). When I ordered my coffee, I asked, do I get a free donut (I do love the apple fritters there)? Not surprisingly, the cashier said, “what?”, to which I replied, “it’s national donut day! Are you guys participating.” Could have been a rhetorical question. The response was a resounding “No”. I do wonder how many donuts starbucks would have to give away on a per square mile basis if they did. Then again, had they participating, and with them so close together, I guess I could have gone to 12 of them quite easily and been the office hero that morning. Alas, i just wound up with coffee that day.
