How Can It Be?

I want to discuss with everyone a very important issue at hand. It is something near and dear to many peoples hearts.... I give you the dounut. Not just any old donut but an apple cider donut!! These little guys are absolutely delicious. I mean melt in your mouth yummyness in every bite. My favorite are the ones from the local pumpkin patch but when I went to Costco the other day I saw a display of Apple Cider donuts just sitting there calling my name. "Buy me.. Buy me.." they proclaim. I being a week person did just that. I bought those little guys with not a second thought. The first one I had was not quite as splendid as the fresh ones but hey for something from a store they weren't too bad. 

That was before I looked. Looked at what you might ask? I will tell you!!!

I looked.... at the calorie count!! DUNH DUNH DUNH!!!!! Oh yes the dreaded calorie count and let me tel you for this particular donut it really was. My brother was the one who initially asked me what it was. I figured it would be between 200-300 calories per donut. This is where I was greatly wrong. It was 200 calories but not for a whole donut. Oh no... it was 200 calories for 1/2 a donut, making it a whopping 400 calories for the entire donut! I don't know about you but I find this ridiculous. How is it possible for such a small piece of dough to be 400 calories? Here is my question.

Why are companies aloud to make such silly serving sizes? Obviously we're going to eat the whole donut and usually wouldn't think twice about it. At a quick glance the calorie count says 200 per serving, thinking that the serving was one donut. Just tell me how many calories are in the freakin' donut. Just be honest! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? That is all.

Happy Travels!

It's off to College!

Yes my lovely readers you read that correctly. After a year off from school and a year after graduating I am going to be taking two online classes through a community college. Why am I doing this you might ask? Well I am more than eager to tell you. One of the classes I am taking is Business 101. In college I never got an opportunity to take a business class and I am beginning to regret it. My brother is taking this class as well so I figured what the heck. We can share the book and if nothing else it will prove to us which sibling is smarter (at least this time around).

I am also taking a class separate from my brother. I am partaking in a class titled "Gourmet Culture." It is going to be a look at the history of food in the U.S. and it's cultural impact. I am very excited to be learning in a class environment again. We'll see how it feels after a year off from classes. It should be pretty interesting to say the least. I'm sure I will be talking about it throughout the summer. 

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and (hopefully) warm weather in their area. I am currently soaking up the last of the Florida sun between the massive amounts of rain that seems to come every afternoon and evening. 

Have a wonderful day!
