Aww, we love you too. Great episode guys, who doesn’t love donuts? I used to enjoy the original “Dunkin Donut”. It was an old fashion with a handle to hold while dunking. That and the jelly stick were / are my favorites. Thanks guys, be well.

As in most places in New England, here in SW Connecticut, there's a Dunkin' you can spit to. But, we also have Donut Crazy, which has those hung outlandishly flavored and decorated ones. Heart attack with a hole. Yummy!
