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…

Danny’s Mini Donuts: What is a Donut Anymore?
I had a disconcerting experience during my recent trip to Sacramento, and I feel my meditation needs to be addressed immediately, ahead of all my other scheduled content. The focus of this article is to discuss and assess what elements constitute a donut these days, and if there are any guidelines remaining as to what…
Halifax, Nova Scotia
I don’t know why why i expected Halifax to be the New York City of Canada. It was more like the Omaha, Nebraska of Canada… Connor and I wobbled into our cabin at the White Point Resort late Wednesday night, around 11pm Halifax time, after over eight hours of driving that day. But my itinerary…
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…
Acadia, Maine
Phase Two of Trip: Continue efforts to try and show Connor the different ways hiking can be enjoyable, or at the very least, not miserable. After treating ourselves to a lobster dinner at Young’s Lobster Pound, Connor and I drove to the Colonial Inn in Ellsworth, Maine, which I had booked a few days prior…

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…
Dough Doughnuts: 6 in 60 Challenge
The morning of March 23, 2018 started out like any other: I listened to Go Flex by Post Malone as I got ready for work; I hop, skipped, and jumped to the train station; then I proceeded to eat a hefty piece of green tea swiss roll cake for breakfast. And then another Entenmann’s mini cake…
Donut Crazy: Ivy League Infatuation
Ah, Connecticut. I’ve always wanted to go to ‘the state that’s full of surprises’, but I’ve wondered, after the Beluga Whale Exhibit recommended as the #2 attraction on Google, what else is there to do? Well, be warned, Connecticut is quite a devilish little minx of a state. This quick trip turned out to be quite…
Randy’s Donuts: LA’s Hottest Icon
A little over a year ago, I started to vocalize my theory that one day, one day very soon, cows were going to take over the world. 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…
Sidecar Doughnuts: The World’s Fre$hest Doughnuts
I owe it to my followers (all six of them) to scope out the local doughnut scene wherever I travel, be it the coffee shop around the block or a supermarket across the country. For stop number two on my California donut adventures, I zeroed in on the Sidecar Doughnuts flagship store in Costa Mesa….
