Team Bloughnut joins in this national celebration of all things round and fried on the first Friday in June. This day was first conceived by the Salvation Army 72 years ago to commemorate the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War 1. For an early morning celebration we stopped by Dream Fluff Donuts on our way to breakfast at Mama's Royal Cafe for a sample pack: maple old fashioned, chocolate old fashioned (2), apple fritter (consumed in the Bloughnutmobile before we could get a picture), coconut cake, and crumb cake.
Dream Fluff knows what's up. The fritter was aptly appley, massive, and the glaze not sickly-sweet. The old fashioneds had the funky contours we have come to appreciate. The cake doughnuts were moist, even after 5 hours in a paper bag in my backpack (though in all fairness maybe keeping doughnuts in a paper bag keeps them moist). Our only concern is the maple glaze is very pale and sickly looking, noted on our maple OF and on the bars sitting in the store. Overall we continue to give Dream Fluff high marks.
To acknowledge this important should-be public holiday we encourage YOU our faithful readers to in turn encourage your local shops to switch the incorrectly spelled "Donut" in their title to "Doughnut." If you know us, you know how much "Krazy Glue" and "La-Z-Boy" and all the other stupidly misspelled, condensed, hyphenated, and otherwise annoyingly incorrect names really raise our hackles.
Happy National Doughnut Day, get out there and celebrate with some fried dough fireworks of your own. Thanks to Bloughnut enthusiast Peter K. for the holiday heads up.

Happy Donuts - San Francisco, CA
As if hanging out with 7 week old Joseph Aloysius Gottbrath IV wasn't all the invitation I needed, Joseph Aloysius Gottbrath III offered to bring along some afternoon offerings from Happy Donuts and meet in the Panhandle. The wee man clearly wasn't interested in the maple raised stuff so early in his game, but you gotta plant the seed..
Maple raised, chocolate old fashioned, plain glazed old fashioned, chocolate buttermilk. All just pretty alright like only Happy Donuts can do. Nothing epic, just solid offerings from the Bay Area stalwart. Look at the style of that old-fashioned!
Dear readers: Don't forget about Old Hat's estate sale going on this weekend on Portola. And pick up a doughnut on the way.
