Doughnuts

My family legends include the invention of the doughnut (doughnaught, donut) by "The Widow Joralemon" who opened the first doughnut store in 1673 in New York City. The legend is also repeated online in a Geneology of the Joralemon family.

I dont make doughnuts, though I've no doubt eaten many. It did come as a real surprise, seeing these donuts. The ones on the left of the photo are large ones, bigger than Dunkin' Donuts serves.

Though I was tempted, I was in Washington, DC as a chaperone for the King Philip Regional Middle School, and I didn't think I should display such gluttony as to eat a foot wide donut. Maybe all six of us chaperones could have shared it. Maybe all 60 plus students could have shared a bite. If you go to DC, check the cookie shop at the Union Station food court.
