Hot, fresh donuts. Yeasty, slightly crispy on the outside. Lightly glazed.
Fresh coffee, dark and steaming.
Mmmmmmmmmm…..
“Oh, you brought doughnuts too? Well, I wouldn’t want to hurt anyones’ feelings, so I guess I can have a small one. With chocolate frosting. And sprinkles.:”
“Thanks, but I really shouldn’t have a cookie. Wait…are those peanut butter cookies? With peanuts? Maybe I can take one for later.”
“Wow-homemade eggrolls? Family recipe from your Grandmother? You’re making them with your niece to raise money for her Laotian Miss America pageant? Well, sounds like a good reason to buy a couple.”
“Oh, I forgot-today is the day they’re selling sundaes in the cafeteria for the Food Shelf. Yeah, I’ll head down that way in just a minute.”
I think I need to walk about ten miles before I go to bed.
Waddlin’ for the Good and True,
