I have been good and have not consumed a dozen donuts today. But since this is a day to remember donuts her here are my memories.
Saturday, morning was donut day in our house ( actually we alternated between donuts and bagels) Two dozen were bought at Dunkin Donuts were bought by Dad. on these occasions one of us wold accompany him to pick out the flavors. I always liked the chocolate glazed cake donut.
24 donuts divided amongst five boys and their parents did not come out to a even number. There was always the issue of the 3 remaining donuts. The would go into the "breadbox" but by mid afternoon they were mysteriously consumed.
In fifth grade we took a class trip to Dunkin Donuts to "observe " the process. We were even allowed to operate the machine that filled the donuts with either jelly or cream. Control of a powered jelly extruder should not be given over to 5th grade boys. Just saying!
Of course my favorite remembrance was when my grandmother and mother would make "zeppole". Not quite a donut, more of a donut hole. It was a fried sweet batter, covered with powdered sugar!!
