Let me tell you about my bus stop. It is someone's driveway.
Not even the driveway, though, just the part where the sidewalk has to dip down to meet the road. It's kinda lame, and kind of annoying seeing as there's a for real bus stop maybe thirty feet away. But uh, I don't really wanna shift over and then have my Elvis-loving bus driver get all weird with me (not that he isn't already. Did I mention that he invited me out to lunch a little while ago? Because he did. It was creepy).
However, right across the street are two primo-supremo city sites that I am a big fan of. The first is A COOP, a small market. I go in there after school each day to get an apple, because apples are delicious. As soon as you go in, there's really cheesy midi music playing in the background, and periodically a recording of a man yelling "CHEAP! CHEEEEEAP! IT'S SO GODDAMN CHEAP DAMNIT, BUY SOMETHING!" Or at least that's all that I can understand of what he's saying. As rad as the music and yelling is, I usually just go in and out for my apple.
Right next door is a bakery that I finally went into this morning. I had been planning on going for a while, but for some reason I never decided to. It's a small bakery called "Languedoc", but while the sign up top says that, the text on the window says "Rangue Doc." It's a pretty impressive display of engrish. I'll get a picture of it soon. Anyway, this bakery has a bunch of really typical Japanese-western weirdo blend bread-things that most Japanese bakeries have. Mostly they're hot dog roll-y things with noodles or sausage or cheese or mayo or a weird combination of those things. Sometimes they look and sound really weird and kind of off-putting, but they're always delicious.
However, the most important thing about this bakery is that it has sugared donuts.
Sugared donuts
are
the
best.
I don't know why, but I haven't seen them anywhere in the US. I'm sure it's probably in my face all the time, but I never see them anyway. Urrybody has glazed stuff and frosted. All I want is some granulated sugar on my nut. That's all it is. But it is the most delicious donut ever (apart from tres leches, but I don't really even consider that a donut, it's like a mini-cake). The last time I had a sugared donut was back in the summer after freshman year when I went to Hong Kong, and now I can have them every morning until I get so fat that I can no longer walk to the bakery. But that'd be fine. I figure by that time, I would have gotten to know the people at the bakery well enough that they would set up some sort of delivery service for me. If not, I'll just send my little host brother out to get me a case of donuts each morning.
But seriously, I don't know if you guys really understand how happy I am that this place has sugared donuts. I got really excited after finding out, and I had to calm myself down so that I wouldn't weird out the bus people when I got on. And I made this post pretty much just so that I could tell you about the donut. Apples are alright and all that, but this donut, it is too good.

back in the day Ceal used to make Har and I sugared donuts sometimes for breakfast, the best
Im glad you still see tres leches as the best, Im glad it had an impression on you and not just Log and I
speaking of which... Donut Plant have frnachiseS yes, thats an s at the end, in the Tok area, so when you finally take the bullett train there for a visit, Tres Leches will be available
She did? Sounds rad.. when was that?
Sugared are delish. Definitely my favorite kind. Theres a guy in Camden town who doesn't fry em enough, so theres sill batter in the center. Disgusting? Yea. Delish? More yea.
yea man back in the day ceal slipped me a few sugards, they were great
Hahah, wet insides. When I was a lad I used to like my pancakes like that...WEIRD
Donuts are A-O-KAY in my book. I had four today!
Ben for some reason I was thinking about your raw pancakes recently. Sometimes I would get a raw pancake or two of yours when I slept over back in the day, the batter has an interesting way of mixing with the syrup...
BUT as for sugared donuts, in Hawaii they have the Portuguese (I think...) equivalent, called malasadas, all over the place. And they're AMAZING. Still warm... so greasy... and they're not donuts with holes, they're more like dough balls, so they're all soft in the middle. The thought.... oh god... so good
