We decided that we wanted donuts this morning. Ryan offered to go pick some up but there was a request to get an old fashioned cake donut – which Ryan had never heard of before. As we all launched in trying to describe the appearance of a cake donut, it was clear based on the look on Ryan’s face that we weren’t doing a very good job. To remedy that problem, I reached for my roll of trace and said:
“Here, I’ll draw you a cross-section so you can see the difference in density between a plain donut and an old fashioned “cake” donut …“
Ryan said back to me
“Or … we could simply look one up on the internet.“
.
Yes, I suppose we could do that.

FYI these are called cinnamon donuts in Australia. Everyone knows what a cinnamon donut is. No need for the internet
had you tried a Cross Section of sandwich? 😀 haha.. always works when you’re bored & hungry
That’s rich…kudoes on the old skool way…dem darn upstart kids…
This is hilarious! Of course now I have to look up “cake doughnut” on the internet
“Or we could simply look one up on the Internet…” Hahaha. I hear that a lot – and I have to say, it never fails to remind me how old I am. :>)
it’s also a lot less fun to simply look something up on the internet.
Oh, that’s certainly true…
donuts have to be covered in chocolate
not for me – despite evidence to the contrary, I don’t like really sweet things. Adding chocolate seems like gilding the lilly, unnecessary.
but Bob, you are not adding the chocolate, you are adding the donut!
Please post the doughnut section drawing with full annotion. Could be T-Shirt worthy!
I got shut down before I did the sketch – maybe something to make in my downtime
i would love a cross-section doughnut tee-shirt.
Haha.
The other day at work someone brought in donuts and there was this bacon covered one. It sat there all day because no one was willing to try it. Bleh!!
pretty sure someone in my office would at least try the bacon wrapped one. Preferably sooner rather than later … I’m thinking that nobody should eat bacon that’s been sitting out for too long.
buy one of each, cut it in half and do a visual inspection.
by “cut” you mean “bite” right?
***laughing out loud and shaking my head***
some days …
