For those of you who have asked about this blog, I thank you for patiently waiting for this post. In the realm of trying to keeps things short, I got sick from cupcakes - FAIL!!! :( This is because I am allergic to milk. I don't mean a lactose intolerance, I am speaking of a real allergy. I can tolerate a slice of pizza or a piece of cheese every now and then, but I have to be careful. This said, I ate three cupcakes within 24 hours and the result was a whopper of a sinus infection. So, instead of being at my folk's pool for their Labor Day party - and getting to see my adorable niece and little cousins / God-daughter, I was at Urgent Care getting a Zpac.
Needless to say, this sucked! Not only did I feel horrible, but I missed the party and, there was a downpour like I have never seen on my way home from Urgent Care - driving through it - not fun. I got better, but decided to lay off the cupcake and dairy products for quite some time. However, we all know this can never last. Although, I will take this time to pause for our fall friend, the apple cider doughnut. If I were poet, I would write an ode to it - something like this:
"Ode to an Apple Cider Doughnut"
O sweet doughnut in my hand - your fall goodness envelops me - you don't have frosting, so I know I will not get sicky sick. Instead, I will suck the essence out of your wonderful sugar and spice outer later while savoring the rest of you with a cup of coffee. You may be a bit expensive, but you are definitely well worth the treat!!! Oh sweet apple cider doughnut, you are here for only a brief while, but I thank you for the visit every year!
... something like that :)
I don't have a picture of said doughnuts, but there were quite a bit this fall - actually, many... and I am not ashamed!!!
