Being a west coast guy, I have never had the pleasure of trying Tim Hortons’ donuts, an Ontario, Canada based company. On July 13, 2009, they opened up 9 more restaurants in New York to compete for America’s waistline along with Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks. I checked out Tim Hortons’ website and they have all sorts of goodies. They seem to make use of what fruits are in season and make specialty donuts. If anyone has had the pleasure of visiting and eating at a Tim Horton’s I would love to get some feedback. I hear they have these donuts called Timbits which are the equivalent to donut holes in the US that are to die for.

A teen robber returned the $167 he took from a Dunkin Donuts in Chicago. He even tried to hug the woman at the register who he held up the previous day. His apology got him a 7 year maximum. I guess the moral of the story is: you can do whatever you want in life, even rob people, if you apologize the next day.

Kids, don’t try this at home.

Sorry its been awhile since my last update, I have been busy working on my move to my official website, www.Donutstud.com.  I have special news to inform everyone.  The first Friday in June is National Donut Day!  This year it so happens National Donut Day is tomorrow, June 5th.  I did a little research regarding National Donut Day and wanted to give a little history about this day.  According to Wikipedia, National Donut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army.  It was to help the needy during the great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served donuts to soldiers behind the front line in France.  Now you have even more of a reason to indulge on this special day.

So you might want to check out your local donut shop to see if they are giving away any free goodies.  Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut to each of their customers and Dunkin’ Donuts is offering a free donut with a purchase of a beverage.
