Dee's Nuts

Today's a busy day, my day off from the store and my day to cram everything I can't normally get done in my waking hours for the rest of the week. The day has begun with a 4 hour wait window for the Gas Company to come and turn on my wall furnace. As soon as that wait is over I'm heading out to GR Silverlake and then I'm going to go hunt down some vegan donuts, cinnamon rolls and cookies from Dee's Bakery.



I'm not sure if I can afford large quantities of these things, but pay day is coming up, so I'm going to get a little of everything. Thanks Daily Candy for inspiring a diabetic coma today... Feel fre ro send me flowers in the hospital, preferably from some hip florist who used to be a sucessful graphic designer, but is now following their lifelong dream of arranging orchids for people in Los Feliz.

I'm a huge fan of vegan junk food. When I became vegan, after a short lived stint of avoiding all things white (flour, sugar, and... I can't believe I ever did this... rice) I learned that I could subsist just fine in the regular grocery store by buying generic versions of junk food favorites. Now I'm a little wiser about what I eat, my aging metabolism has forced such consideration on me, but I still do some shopping at the 99 Cents Only store for cookies, salty snacks and random caloric black holes.

The maple cookies that cost me 99 cents in Lincoln Heights are a decent substitute for the vegan glazed donuts I used to chow down on in St. Paul, MN, but aren't as exciting as the Maple and Baco-Bit donuts from Voo Doo Donuts in Portland, OR. We'll see how Dee's Donuts stack up. I'm going to be bummed if they're expensive AND healthy tasting.

Okay, time to stay optimistic and more importantly, hungry. Despite the warnings on Oprah yesterday, about skipping a high protein breakfast, I'm going to have a lunch of sticky sweetness from Downtown LA.
