He is a very nice man who did love his donuts. Winchell's Donuts are excellent, and if it was located close to home I might look just like this fellow.
I love them, too. The German variation is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_(doughnut) Right now it's the time in Mainz for them, they are tradionally eaten during the Fastnacht season. I'll eat one or two every day until Ash Wednesday. Ha!
Oh, I didn't mean his looks, I meant his posture, leaning on the counter, in great anticipation, choosing this or that.
There was a time when there was a Wnchell's on just about every street corner in the US. At least on the west coast. I used to love the 'old fashioned' doughnuts and crullers when I was younger and could eat sweets with no consequences for my waistline. Now there are consequences.
I can smell those donuts, but this is a place which I endeavor never to enter as I may have lots of will power (I will eat donuts) I have very little won't power. (I won't eat donuts)!
Hm, this donut man seems to really love his donuts.
ReplyDeleteA Happy New Year to you and your family!

ReplyDeleteNow this brings back memories. When I was a boy there were Winchell's all over the place now it's been years since I've seen one.
