I raced a Prius on my bicycle ride home today. We were heading south at the same time on our way down Mount Tabor, a dormant volcano in Portland. I had the upper hand as speed bumps slow cars but can improve the speed of a bicycle, if you know how to move your body with the curves of the road. I got to the end of the street first, so I am saying that I won— but that’s not saying much, because it was just a Prius.
I am waiting on my eBay-bought Microsoft Word key to go through before I add more to my novel. I can’t help it, I am a purist when it comes to word processing applications although I can’t seem to stop processing words. Fun fact: eBay has a lot of sellers distributing legal licenses for products because they are given access to a certain number of keys with their business for a lower bulk price, so some sellers sell copies of things such as a pro license for Office 365 or for Windows 10 at a much more affordable price than directly from the company. Five dollars is much more reasonable than whatever they charge these days for the monthly access to my favorite office software!!! Works for me. They are the middle men, peddling licenses. I wonder what their deal is for Adobe products …
Let’s backtrack to the title of this particular blog post: vegan doughnuts. I have a bovine allergy and choose to eat a predominately plant-based diet with some exceptions and a little bit of lee-way latency (because hey, I got to respect all animals and that means me, too, as I am only a human bean). A month or so ago, I saw a cute lil doughnut shop in a dinky strip mall on my bus route once and stopped there during the bus transfer. I got a doughnut unknowingly vegan, my sugar craving was okay with the itchy throat that day.
… I had no immune response from my allergy, not even a little bit. I didn’t think much about it until I went onto their website to find out their hours and found out that everything they sell is vegetarian, no dairy, no eggs, no trendy bacon bits either! I went back today to indulge myself for my break at work. I tried a Tiramisu doughnut, and oooooh wow. Wow. I was never much for cream-filled doughnuts, likely because they made me ill as a child, but ooooh wow. This doughnut was delightful, (pictured below). It had a dreamy, coffee coconut cream filling wrapped in a flaky cinnamon doughnut. Thank you, Doe Doughnuts, Portland.
