donut quality crotchetiness

Gah. Dear self: HFCS is bad for you. Yes, really. Even if your coworker buys an entire box of Dunkin' Donuts holes to share with everyone, you WILL get a headache from eating one.

I wonder if this apparent HFCS sensitivity is a) purely psychosomatic over-attention to people like Michael Pollan, or b) generally not eating much junk and being all the more surprised/disgruntled at the consequences when I do eat it. I wonder if I can still tolerate candy corn.

Dunk's are wretched-awful anyway, and Donut Plant has confused "half-raw" with "artisanal." The only good donuts I've been able to find in this town are airdropped from Seattle like little glazed liferings.

OTOH, I bet the chances of finding real straight-up Madrid churros are much better here. Or I'm just going to have to try making the damn things a second time. God help me, I'm turning into caladri! (caladri, I found an Indian grocery store that makes me desperately want to learn Indian cooking so I would have an excuse to shop there.) I'm already planning to make punkin pie and whipped cream tonight for nefarious purposes gotham_bound.
