Photo Hunt Saturday--Candy
Looks like I took a hiatus this week. Totally unintentional. Youngest is cycling again; there have been four separate therapies this week for various combinations of family members, as well as a huge medication change. Luckily, the medication change seems to be working; I even tested his boundaries tonight by telling him something he did not like and did not want to hear, and he didn't come unglued... success, however temporary, is a beautiful thing with bipolar children.
Now, on to the Photo Hunt! This week's theme is: Candy. I took this photo in July 2007 while visiting Portland, Oregon. This was one of the most amazing doughnuts I've ever put in my mouth. I'd read about this little local place called Voodoo Doughnut, which makes weird original doughnut flavors (like Pepto Bismol, or Nyquil doughnuts, neither of which are still available because they might taste like ass for some weird reason). This is a Grape Ape, which is a glazed doughnut with vanilla icing, grape Tang-like drink powder, and purple candy sprinkles; sounds absolutely disgusting freaking amazing, huh? I have no idea what possessed me to pick this over, say, the chocolate glazed one with peanut butter Cap'n Crunch cereal, but I'm glad I did. If I close my eyes and concentrate really hard, I can almost taste this little jewel again... mmmmmmm...

I like the name and color, but I guess I'm just a traditionalist when it comes to my doughnuts!

That must be one heck of a donought. I'm surprised it tastes good at all.

Me, too, Tamy... I'm a plain glazed gal all the way... but when you walk into this place it's like they work some voodoo on your tastebuds (must be where they get the name)... LOL! They are popular enough to be open 24 hours, too!

Purple is one of my favorite colors and I also like grape so I know that I would try it!

The purple hue is pretty amazing! I guess I am a traditionalist as well when it comes to doughnuts. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

I've heard lots about Voodoo Doughnut. I am going to HAVE to get there some day.

Glad you took the time and effort to put up a Photo Hunt entry this week amidst everything else. (And I thought I had it bad with a cold on top of a frantic work and social schedule that had me out for evening this week.)
Re unusual donut flavors: the Krispy Kreme here in Hong Kong does a killer green tea donut... :b

Mmmmm... green tea donut... I'd definitely like to try that, too... green tea is really good for you, right?! ;-)

That's the weirdest-looking donut I've ever seen!
Thanks for the visit.

At first I thought it was Photoshopped, I'm also surprize you picked it, and ate it. Very weird. I'm glad it tasted good.
