there glazed are unique to me..don't know what that says about my palate
though. It is the icing I think.. I nap those at the grocery every once in
awhile.. Here in Columbus Ohio though a good neighbor hood bakery is hard
to find. There used to be one on Riverside across from the Griggs park,
and of course a few in German village and other places in high street, but
for most suburban there is nothing good nearby. Sigh.. I miss the bakeries
in Cleveland. My dad get fantastic donuts up at the local grocery..made and
served mostly by Slovenian ladies..
