I've been with Blogger/Blogspot for over 2 years now. And it's been great. But I've been using Wordpress for another little project and really like the functionality. So the goal this week is to move Jillie of All Trades over there. I'll be honest, they make it sound pretty easy, so figure I can import it in about 5 minutes. I'm not sure what that means for my email followers or anyone reading via RSS. But will figure that out and provide the link to the new site.
In the meantime, why not end the weekend with this week's doughnut? The Pumpkin Cake Doughnut from Doughnut Plant. Not really pumpkin-y enough for me, but still enjoyed it with my Lavazza at Eataly. When they put out a seasonal doughnut, I feel the need to try it (if you remember, I had the pumpkin yeast doughnut a few weeks ago). But still need to get to the Tres Leches and a few of the other standards.
Our Sunday mornings usually start with a walk to the Doughnut Plant on 23rd Street, where we pick up our doughnuts. Then we head over to Lavazza at Eataly for coffee (and our doughnuts). If you remember on Friday during my pumpkin macaroon post, I mentioned that I really hoped they were making pumpkin doughnuts. I actually checked the menu on Saturday, but no luck.
But as we approach the store, I see the sign...
And it's confirmed inside when I see the display case and the girl is putting up the flavor signs...
I'd say it was more of a overall fall "spice" with notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, and goodness. There were some toasted seeds on top of the glaze, which were delicious. Overall, a good way to start my day. I like the yeast doughnuts. Nice and light, with a sweet glaze. I may have to give the pumpkin cake doughnut a try, that might be more of the pumpkin I was looking for.
My really big pink doughnut from Doughnut Plant. Today it was fresh Raspberry. Mmmmm.....We picked up our doughnuts, continued on to Lavazza and found ourselves a table in the pedestrian area near the Flatiron building. The weather this morning reminded me of mornings in California. Cool. Nice. We watched the tourists, watched the dogs in the dog park, and sipped our coffee. Perfect start to the weekend.
