B’More Licks: Diablo Doughnuts: A True Story of Beauty and Obsession

Welcome back to my donut diaries. A raw collection of my innermost thoughts and feelings on life, love and the pursuit of donuts. If you’ve been following along on my journey since the beginning, you’ve likely learned that I have a sweet tooth and low impulse control. While donuts will always be my #1, I…

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

Upon crossing the border into Canada, I expected to be impaled with hockey pucks until I lost control of the steering wheel on a slick of maple syrup and collided with a two ton moose, but there was nothing. A noticeable rocky difference in terrain, but otherwise the roads were completely deserted. As I mentioned…

Portland, Maine

Ladies and gentlemen. What I bring to you this month is the trip that gave me the final push I needed to start my blog, presented in a four part series: Portland, Acadia, Cape Breton and Halifax. I was inspired to write about my trip through Maine and Nova Scotia because I am a couponing…

Donut Crazy: Ivy League Infatuation

Ah, Connecticut.

My bovine conspiracy theory began to rapidly gain support, and after a few articles, speeches and screenplays, I had a small but fierce cult following preparing their futures…

Krispy Kreme: The OG Glazed Donut

During my Christmas vacation 2017, I managed to stuff my face at three different donut locations in just ten short days. I am truly my own biggest inspiration. I was in California for less than twenty four hours when, while last minute gift shopping in Mission Viejo, I saw a Krispy Kreme sign calling to…

Prince Tea House

I’ve always been one for the finer things. When I was a kid, I loved to go to a tea house called Miss Molly’s in Medina, Ohio, and rejoiced at the opportunity to wear a frilly dress with bows in my hair. I thought I was a downright debutante drinking from a teapot filled with…
