Letter #307 -- Loving Food

A friend of mine posted on her Facebook page that today is National Sandwich Day and tomorrow is National Candy Day. Well, since we recently had letter writing topics about sandwiches and candy, we'll have to write about the upcoming Doughnut Appreciation Day on Friday, Nov. 5.

What's your favorite doughnut? I generally enjoy a plain glazed doughnut the most. Although I do like a cream-filled doughnut, too.

For the longest time, my husband and I proclaimed Shipley Do-Nuts to be our favorite. The doughnut company was founded in Houston, Texas, and my husband's mother worked at the original shop at one time. We knew that at just about any time, we could get a hot Shipley Do-nut. Then, finally, years after everyone else was clamoring for them, we tried Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Now, we agree it's a toss-up. The two companies' doughnuts are different, but each is good. And, both stores generally have hot doughnuts when you walk in the door. (It is fun to watch the doughnuts traveling down the conveyor belt at Krispy Kreme.)

Today, in advance of Doughnut Appreciation Day, write a letter about your favorite doughnut.
