As I was running errands this morning I happened across something I haven’t seen in over 5 and a half years… a ‘Dunkin’ Donuts’. I remember when I moved to Provo I was excited to see a ‘Krispy Kreme’ which we A.) Didn’t have in Oregon at the time and B.) Boasted they had donuts that would melt in your mouth. At the time it was nice to have a little variety to my options of donuts.

After 2 straight months of gorging on ‘said’ sweet pastry I longed to have a Dunkin’ Donut. The sweet delicious goodness of the frosting filled powdered donut plagued my mind as I could hear the taunting from Krispy Kreme ‘Meh heh, we’re your only option!’ Sadly I would hang my head and admit my defeat.

I had heard a disconcerting rumor that Dunkin’ Donuts had gone out of business, so imagine my surprise when I was on my way to the hardware store for leaf bags; I noticed a sign from heaven. A beautiful sign that stood proud as it gleamed the name of my favorite donut shop. Tears came to my eyes as I went in to smell the aroma of Apple Fritters, Bear claws, Boston Crème, Glazed, Powdered and Sugar donuts. I was on cloud 9 as I walked out with my half dozen and a huge smile on my face. After over 5 and a half long years of putting up with only Krispy Kreme donuts to satisfy my palette, my craving for a strawberry frosting filled powdered donut had finally been satisfied and was like pure heaven in my mouth. Never again will I settle for a mediocre donut.
