So true

When I first saw the Maple-Bacon Donut on Man v Food when Adam Richman visited Voodoo Donut in Portland, Oregon I knew I had witnessed something special, something beyond what I knew doughnuts* to be, what they could aspire to beyond being filled with jam or occasionally chocolate and iced.
I still want to visit Voodoo Donut but I have found something equally impressive closer to home (three minutes away on foot, I’ve timed myself, and I wasn’t running).
Once again my local Asda provided me with a Saturday treat – Lemon Meringue Doughnuts. Filled with lemon curd, topped with lemon icing and sprinkled with meringue pieces they are heavenly, the tangy lemon providing a nice counterpoint to the fried doughnut with the sweet crunchy meringue finishing things off.
I would have provided a picture but, well, you know how these things are.

A friend recently told me the story of a manager of a company who saw a suspicious vehicle in a driveway one day. He felt that the police should be made aware of this so he did what anyone would do and drove back to his office and asked his assistant to call the police station to report it.
By this time nearly twenty minutes had passed and the vehicle was no doubt long gone. The assistant, however, dutifully called the police station and could only sigh and agree when the operator said “it might have been better if he’d called 999 when he was in sight of the vehicle”.
Delegation, taken too far.
