IT’S SUNDAY!!! That means SUNDAY SWEET!! I feel like I should have a theme song, complete with a jaunty little intro video, preferably containing a leprechaun who rides a unicorn, the Vienna Boys Choir, a whole bunch of ballerina music boxes, and a dancing care bear. I want the care bear with the rainbow tattooed on its belly to celebrate NYC pride, which is today!
Today’s Sunday sweet is something most people LOVE, but being married to a cop, I have an intimate knowledge of….DONUTS. You thought I was going to say “handcuffs” didn’t you? Wouldn’t you like to know? Moving on…..I thought of making rainbow donuts, but the only orange fruits I could get were out of season oranges, and they weren’t going to taste good with my very IN season berries. That would make for a sorry donut. Instead I made the next best thing to rainbows and handcuffs….chocolate covered strawberry donuts.
These donuts are so good you could go nuts….yes, I did just mangle Veruca Salt’s lyrics from “Willy Wonka”…what of it????
