Upcoming posts!
I know it's been a few days since I have written, but I am in the process of trying new recipes and they will be up when completed. I am trying the Amish friendship bread from scratch again, which includes making the starter. (Past few times have failed but i have a new recipe I'm trying). I came into a huge bag of plums, so I am researching recipes to try. And at last but not least, my brother is trying his hand in making sourdough bread. It's actually easier than one would think but I don't want to ruin the surprise just yet... So keep posted and thanks for reading!

Voodoo Doughnut
My friend Jessie and I took a trip to Portland, Oregon last summer and her co-worker suggested we stop by a place called 'Voodoo Doughnut.' The name was intriguing enough that we checked it out. Since then, I've seen this place featured on the TV show 'Man v Food.'
Here is Jessie holding the famous 'voodoo doughnut.' It's a doughnut in the shape of a doll, raspberry filled to represent doll blood with a pretzel sticking out of it. (Don't mind Jessie.)
We bought a few doughnuts, but I think my favorite was the 'triple chocolate penetration' which is a chocolate doughnut with a chocolate glaze and cocoa-puffs! (Can you tell I like chocolate?)
There was one doughnut in the case that was just too weird to try. It was a maple bar with 2 pieces of bacon on it. The menu page describes their other delectable delights. http://voodoodoughnut.com/menu.php
This place not only makes doughnuts, but officiates weddings. Yes, you read that correctly, officiates weddings. They offer different wedding packages which include coffee and different types of doughnuts to accompany that special day. As tempting as this may be, I will pass on this one.
"What doesn't this place offer" you may ask? Well, they do not ship doughnuts. They'll deliver within a limited area, but if you are living in CA and want to try one of these bad boys, you'll have to take a trip to Portland. "Remember, we do not ship doughnuts. It's an insult to the doughnut and a rip off to you. We wont do it."
Here are some pics of the us in front of the downtown location.
