Happy No Donut Day!

June 4, 2010 in food, Thoughts by Moye | 1 comment

According to this video, the Salvation Army declared the first Friday of every June as National Donut Day. Today’s National Donut Day also marks the first year that I haven’t had any donuts (not including those formative years when I couldn’t eat solid food) and as this video also points out, I’m better off without them! Well, I am for the next six months anyways. I can’t wait until 2011 when I eat an entire box of maple bars alone. It will be glorious.

But there’s also another reason why I’m boycotting National Donut Day. Dunkin Donuts finally announced the winner of their “Create the Next Donut” contest, who put together a disgusting combination of banana fosters cream, peanut butter shavings and chocolate frosting called ‘Monkey-See, Monkey-Donut.” Why not just call it “Moye-See, Moye-Throw-up” and get it over with. Ugh, BANANAS?! IN A DONUT? I don’t think I’ve heard of anything more offensive.

No More Donuts!

February 23, 2010 in baking, food, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Ugh. This is so annoying. It’s not even the end of February and this ban against donuts is getting hard and harder. At first I thought it would be easy, since I’m not surrounded by these delicious fried breakfast treats, but then friends started sending me pictures of their local Dunkin Donuts over Twitter (which is really mean) and now THIS.

Last night, I came home to a brand new Williams Sonoma catalog with a cover that featured–you guessed it–homemade donuts as part of their “comfort food recipe” selection. Awesome. So it doesn’t matter that there aren’t any Dunkin Donuts around me. I can just deep fry my own donuts at home. And look at all their donut accessories! AHH.

Wait, what? Is that donut too small for you? Then check out this Giant Donut Cake Pan where you can bake your very own enormous donut, complete with chocolate glaze and sprinkes.

This is ridiculous. LEAVE ME ALONE, DONUTS. 10 more months.

The universe hates me.

PS. So I have this theory. I really want that Giant Donut Cake Pan. Since it’s really a cake (and not deep fried like a donut), it doesn’t count as a donut, right? So I can eat this and still keep my resolution, right? RIGHT? Right.

Time To Make Moye Donuts!

February 9, 2010 in baking, food, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

The evil Dunkin Donuts (evil because they will never say if and when they’re expanding to the West Coast) is hosting their annual “Create Dunkin’s Next Donut” contest where you can (duh) create your own special fried treat with a chance of having it turned into an actual real donut.

I’m almost a month into my 2010 bet to not eat a donut for a whole year, which is going quite swimmingly if you even cared, but I’m still having a lot of fun trying to invent delicious and awesome flavors.

For example, here’s the one I made for B. It’s got all of his favorite things, all mixed up together into complete and utter grossness: a blueberry cake donut stick with peanut butter frosting and Heath bar crumble topping. GROSS. Thank god they didn’t offer any banana options.

So here’s my ultimate favorite donut of all time!

BAM! Maple glazed bar topped with sprinkles in the official Dunkin Donuts colors (pink and orange). What can I say? I like to keep things classy, simple and completely unoriginal. There is nothing better than a maple bar.

Too bad I can’t even eat one until 2011. ;_;

Above and Below Ground

February 5, 2010 in Thoughts by Moye | 2 comments

WNYC published a series a photos documenting the MTA construction taking place 100 feet below Grand Central Station. I find it breathtaking to see so much work, light and life take place while the rest of the city probably continues their daily routine above without a clue.

I also find it rather scary because honestly, after watching The Descent, I know FOR A FACT that you will never know what the hell lives in the depths of the Earth. And they’re probably naked, pale humanoids who want to eat you alive. But anyway.

Here’s my favorite part of the slideshow:

One worker says Dunkin Donuts coffee is more popular with the workers.

Regardless of whether you’re in a skyscraper 100 feet above ground, or digging a new tunnel 100 below, Dunkin Donuts coffee still tastes better than that over-roasted crap they serve at Starbucks.

That is all.

Dream Come True

September 10, 2008 in Asians, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

I just saw this on a local community board.

They’re hiring staff for a new Dunkin Donuts store to be open in Torrance, CA. Sure, that’s like a 45 minute drive away from me (without traffic) but that’s like 45 minutes closer than a flight to JFK.

Thoughts going through my mind:

  • DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee Ramen DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee DD Iced Coffee
  • Should I send them my resume? JUST KIDDING.

Today sucks.

May 15, 2008 in Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Good morning. It’s 9:14am, and it already sucks. Why?

As Matt points out, today is Free Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin Donuts. Yay! Except that the closet Dunkin Donuts to me is somewhere a whole continent away from me, and this is incredibly unfair and annoying. Luckily I will be able to indulge in my addiction next week, starting Thursday morning when we land at TF Green Airport in Rhode Island. MMMMMM, iced coffee.

Wait, back to why today sucks. Wait, I can’t remember. I think it was just the free iced coffees that was making me sad.

Aaaauugghhhhh. :(

Happy Tax Day!

April 15, 2008 in Thoughts by Moye | No comments

Seeing ads like this around the internet make me sad. I want Dunkin Donuts. I want a free donut. I want an iced coffee. Why can’t they have these around LA? :( Booooo.

I hope you all filed your taxes. I filed and paid mine last month, and I’m still bitter.
