The Valero Nice N Easy coffee and donut shop had an epidemic on their hands — Donuts were going missing, disappearing actually from under the manager’s noses. Even the strong police presence in the shop which they kept strong by comping their coffee did little to deter the theft.
It was then that the manager’s decided [...]

Wonder why we have an obesity problem in America? It's because everyday someone comes up with a new and zany (yet somewhat delicious sounding) foodstuff.

Why Pregnant Women Find A Great Friend In A Donut PillowBy: Muna WanjiruA donut pillow is especially created and shaped so as to come to the help of those people who suffer from a tail-bone affection, or who, for some reason cannot properly sit in a vertical position. Hemorrhoids, surgery, tail bone injury and even colon problems can prevent one from sitting because of the hard to bear pain. A don
16 months ago I said in a post comparing McDonald's (MCD) and Starbucks (SBUX), "Of course there are the "coffee connoisseurs," they will never go to McDonald's and I am not talking about them, I am speaking of the great ambivalent masses in the middle. When all things are equal, price and convenience always win."
Listen to the CEO of Dunkin Brands Monday morning:

Ethan saw me carrying a box of J.Co, still in its plastic bag. He knew right away that it was a box of donuts. He ran to me and gave me a hug, suddenly became so affectionate. He kissed me, left and right, and left again. My face was drenched.
He said, "DONUT...," in his low-tone voice. "Jie-jie, I want donut...."
I said, "Wait, Ethan, let me open the box and get one for you."
He replied, "

I am very happy to announce that I have released my second tutorial just a moment ago. This step by step tutorial is for wire wrapping a donut pendant - floral motive.Although I mentioned that the project is for intermediate level, if you are a beginner, you will find out that with the clear pictorial instructions, it is not difficult to follow at all. This tutorial is now available at my Etsy Shop - WireBliss and here as well.
OK I know — a lot of hockey posts this weekend. But this one is too good to pass on.Hockey fans in this area certainly recall in 1988 when then Devils coach Jim Schoenfeld told NHL referee Don Koharski he was a "fat pig" who should "have another donut." As hard to believe as it is, that was 20 years ago. And Rich Chere, of the Star-Ledger, has a great feature on the two involved and others. Click here to read it.UPDATE: Man, Youtube is the greatest.Just found this video of the aforementioned incident. Enjoy.
Last night/ early this morning I completed this Donut Jade Pendant incorporating the Pipa technique into this otherwise boring Jade Donut Bead. The idea have been swimming around my head for about two weeks while I was wire wrapping the other two donut jade pendants. Somehow I can't figure out how to finish it off, especially on the bail part.So, this piece developed as I was making it and one lead to another and along the way I figured out how to finish off the bail.This piece is now available at my Etsy Shop....The jade donut measures about 2.3cm at its widest and the length of the pendant is about 3.5cm.The 10 beads surrounding the pipa knot are 4mm unakite and coral beads. There are another 8 of them at the backside of the pendant.I added one 6mm round swarokski crystal (AB) to the to

One fine day, after a tiresome day at work, I got home and to my delight, I saw three boxes of JCO on the dining table. After having heard so much about JCO being the original Indonesian Donut Chain. Big Apple being the copykat.Mom and dad, said the line was very long but they were determined to bring some donuts back home....If you can only see the resemblance in how they make it, the colors they provide, and the flavours. The only difference I can make out is the pastry, or the donut itself. I find Big Apple's pastry a little big more fluffier / and softer as compared to J CO's Donuts.So after you leave these donuts overnight, I think the J Co has better staying power than the Big Apple donuts. J CO's donuts has better staying power, and tastes close to its original form, after bei

Last month, I received an email from a wonderful reader named Peggy. She had tried my "all-purpose" baking mix I first posted last month and said that it tasted bitter to her. She had tried it in several recipes and while they were good, they had an aftertaste that she and her family didn't like.Thankfully Peggy was kind enough to email me and let me know about what happened when she made the mixture. I am always appreciative of readers who let me know how my recipes turn out. I have no way of knowing if it actually works for others unless I receive feedback!Peggy was also patient enough to try the recipe again after we adjusted certain ingredients. So after several emails with Peggy discussing what could be wrong, we lowered the amounts of baking soda and baking powder (realizing we didn

An unknown wild animal is on the loose in Northern Florida. Some reports say it is a baby bigfoot or skunk ape. Others say it is an orangutan. Still others think it might just be a squirrel. A bear hunter said that the unknown creature stole some of his jelly donuts. Wildlife officials are now trying to capture the mysterious animal and are using donuts as a lure. This makes sense to me as there is not much in nature that is as irresistible as a donut. I just have to wonder how healthy it is to feed animals jelly donuts. When I go to the local zoo I remember seeing signs saying don’t feed the animals people food. I don’t know what orangutans or bigfeet eat but I am pretty sure it is not part of their natural diet. If donuts don’t work maybe they should try a cheese danish.

I just love donuts especially Krespy Kreme. When I was pregnant with our little boy, I love eating Krespy Kreme. I used to eat 3 donuts a day! Then, the doctor told me to...
In 1955, an American named Harry Winokur discovered that people enjoy fresh donuts with their morning coffee. With this idea, he began selling donuts on the street of Boston. Mr. Winokur's products were met with such great demand that he began to deliver his donuts to office workers in Boston's downtown area. Eventually, a business that begun as an ambulant store became a retail store, selling
Not one day after the Discovery channel finally aired that documentary about overcrowded prison systems that I must’ve saw a commercial for every 2.5 seconds on various networks, a man is arrested for stealing a donut and may get 30 years.
Oh yeah. 30 years. That’s more than Michael Vick, OJ Simpson, Larry Craig, and every other nut that I’ve covered at one point or another in this blog will ever get. That’s more than most people get for killing someone these days. But at least the pastries are safe!
I won’t get into my own beliefs on the legal system and what should be the punishment for various offenses because you’d probably think I was out there. Obviously, the punishment doesn’t really fit the crime in this case. The man has been given the nickname “The Doughnut Man” as well which is just going to make prison like that much more depressing for him. Reports are he didn’t even get to keep the donut.
Full story here.

Like any morning at the elderly were playing games, creating crafts and demonstrating out front. Their protest? Could it be lack of affordable health care? Perhaps mishandling of their retirement funds? No, the quagmire of the day is the lack of free donuts.
The center receives on average around 16 cases of donated baked goods, however as of late they have been discarding these sweet treats as they are not healthy for the seniors. Putnam County decided that they were setting a bad example by providing these unhealthy treats. The seniors, in turn, decided to protest with sandwich board signs stating Give Us Our Just Desserts and They're Carbs, Not Contraband .
The center does provide lunch everyday for a suggested donation of $1.50, and there's nothing stopping the seniors from going to the doughnut shop or anywhere else they desire. Free is free, but the seniors don't like the idea that the center implied that they were gorging themselves on jelly donuts and were too senile to

While surfing the internet one night I found these. Now, I love my coffee in the mornings, but I can just imagine how amazing these might taste with it. Don't you think?

I can almost taste them right now... Yum!

Don’t dunk the Donut FM Radio!: "Doughnuts are sweet, everyone knows that. But these donuts are sweeter than the real ones. The Donut FM Radio is not just a treat to your ears but an equal pleasure to see and carry around. It is very portable and will definitely get you some attention. Turn the inside wheel on the Donut FM Radio counter-clock to turn the radio on and watch the blue light slowly fade up…turn the inside wheel the other way to shut the radio off. You can also adjust the volume, by using the controls on the inside wheel."(Via Gizmodiva.com.)
El Donut FM Radio es una creación fenomenal. Se trata de un radio que como su nombre lo dice tiene forma de dona; para encenderlo y manejar sus controles únicamente tienes que girar las mitades de la dona. Es uno de esos gadgets tan bonitos que sólo por eso no te importa que sus funciones sean tan básicas. Tiene 4.7 pulgadas de diametro y el precio es un misterio.Vía: Gizmodiva
The glowing FM Radio that resembles a donut that you twist to tune.
We like nothing better here at e-Potpourri than products that bring a certain new appeal to otherwise everyday goods through innovative, effective design and that’s certainly the case as far as this particular FM radio is concerned.
Available in red, black or white, the Donut FM Radio measures 4.7 inches in radius and 1.7 inches in thickness is operated by simply rotating the inside wheel to turn it on and off – an inbuilt blue LED strip signifying that the unit is live – and then turning the outer wheel to change between radio frequencies.
It’s also nice to know that, as the unit is battery powered and its antenna is housed internally (though the ariel can be placed outside the unit in the event of poor reception), there are no unsightly cables or wires to content with.
Se Homer Simpson visse o novo CD com a trilha sonora do longa sobre a família mais louca de Springfield, provavelmente engoliria o disco a seco, sem contar nem mesmo com a ajuda de suas cerveja preferida, Duff. Lançado nesta terça (31) nos Estados Unidos em edição limitada, o álbum está à venda por cerca de US$ 20 e vem dentro de um Donut. A caixinha – com direito a “cobertura” cor-de-rosa e granulado colorido – está entre os itens mais bacanas no meio da penca de produtos licenciados que chega às prateleiras junto com o filme, que estreou dia 27 de julho no exterior e chega aos cinemas brasileiros no próximo dia 17. Em tempos de música digital, em que o formato cada vez importa menos, a “rosquinha” dos Simpsons chega com 15 faixas que incluem o famoso tema de abertura do programa de TV, e também músicas compostas originalmente para o longa pelo produtor alemão Hans Zimmer, premiado por outras trilhas sonoras, como “O rei leão” (1995) e “Gl

Christina Aguilera Fuels Pregnancy Speculation With Donuts Pop star Christina Aguilera has fuelled speculation she is pregnant - by filling up with glazed donuts on a recent visit to Australia.The singer, who is rumoured to be carrying husband Jordan Bratman's baby, arrived at Sydney airport on Sunday night (22Jul07) from Brisbane, before ordering her limousine driver to make a brief stop at a local Krispy Kreme outlet.Bratman is reported to have bought a large box of mixed donuts for the star, who was photographed with the snacks in the back of her luxury vehicle.Earlier this month (Jul07), Aguilera's estranged father Fausto 'confirmed' the pop star was pregnant.

I was off my ball a few days ago when I forgot to announce a free latte event at one restaurant chain, but it appears that today, we’re right back on track folks!
Because, as our very own Princess on the boards has reminded us, today is Free Donut Day at Krispy Kremes Nationwide. Seeing everyone likes donuts (and if you don’t, well, you’re not everyone then), and everyone here likes free (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading the site), then I think you should head over to their site immediate to find the six nearest stores to you, and get a free* half dozen donuts.
Thanks Pru!
*Gasoline not included in said freebee offer. Best to mooch rides with friends. Donut offer only valid for one donut per store, so you only get six if you go to six stores. Sorry, dems the rules.

Have you heard the latest from AOL. A donut both before and after your workout builds more muscles. Jelly is preferable, and if it's strawberry, you'll really get buff.It only works though, if you're a blonde Jewish African American person with green eyes.The muscle growth difference between those who eat donuts and those who don't was proven to be about 8.33 percent.The test study included 300 people all of Jewish African American descent.Oh, and you have to be from Palm Springs and only eat the donuts at the donut store at the intersection of Vista Chino and Sunrise. Any Worlds gym will do.Poodle Springs for some, Palm Springs for others; come see the desert's best daily photo site on the net.
This very expressive and very loose painting is a jelly filled donut. I really enjoy these types of painting because of the expressive and impressionistic manner of the painting.

Don't know why...but the past few weeks we've been craving for this round shape stuff with a hole in the centre - DONUTS!!!
And not just any ordinary donuts. Pato was harping on Krispy Kreme and has been trying to get his colleague to piggy back some from the US. Pearl wanted a taste from the new Donut Factory which is located at Raffles City Tower but the queue was just ridiculous!.
So one fine day, whilst in Vivo City, and wwallla...we bumped into Vinco by chance. Being skeptical, Pato just bought one glazed donut at $1.00 and we shared...Just after the first bite and first swallow (more like gulp) we turn back and bought one dozen!
But what is good with Vinco is that they allow you to make order on the spot or even call them so you don't have to queue for many hours. (DONUT FACTORY - you ought to think about this too)........Sorry, but we just cannot embrace this Singaporean favourite pastime - Queuing for LLLLOOONNGGG hours.

To be a real surfer dude requires what? Well, first and foremost you gotta have some surf! You know, roiling water with peaks and valleys to push you along as you super glide your way to surfer dude-dom. But having surf requires having an ocean, and many land-locked dudes would like to be surfers too, dude. So our inventor dude brainstormed his way to the Surf Donut, a giant spinning drum full of wetness that rotates it's way into creating an artificial surf. We're not sure exactly how you are going to step into this spherical stream machine and bring your board to a hang ten stance without falling but we are pretty convinced that once you do fall, you are going to flail around inside this thing like a dude caught in a giant washing machine during it's spin cycle!US Patent Issued In 1995Source & Image:TallyAbsurd Inventions
