A Breakfast Story

Okay, the Krispy Kreme glazed donuts seemed to have survived their time in the freezer. A few seconds in the microwave and the dough in the donuts taste good as new. Unfortunately, the glaze seem to have dessicated in the freezer, so the glaze layer turned into a solid crust of sugar which fell apart in chunks. Next time I'll have to try the toaster oven instead of the microwave, or put a layer of plastic wrap over the donuts before I freeze them. Or maybe I should just find a better donut shop.

That first sip of coffee out of the little hole in the plastic lid is a little skip of faith. You are never quite sure whether you'll get burned. And going through the day with a burnt tongue is one of those insignificant annoyances in life that drives you nuts, right up there with damp socks.
