More Donuts!

Before we left for our two weeks of travel I kept stalking this pumpkin spice donut recipe. This morning I finally had time to make them! After a run, trip to the post office where I found a box of Compost cookies from Momofuko Milk Bar courtesy of my best friend, and a trip to the Farmer's Market I got busy in the kitchen. If you click on the link you'll see the original origin of this recipe. I modified a little. Enjoy!!

Leaving, on a midnight plane to Georgia

More like a 3pm plane. We leave today! Off to Atlanta for the night then a three hour drive to southern NC. Can't wait to celebrate J's good friend Andrew and his new wife Kristin. I also can't wait to eat pancakes at Ria's Blue Bird in Atlanta and frolic along the autumn scenery. Full report Monday!

Can't wait to enjoy coffee from here with J after our morning run!
