On the other, I have a fondness for powdered bavarian creme doughnuts, too, and Boston creme doughnuts -- bavarian creme doughnuts with a chocolate frosted instead of powdered exterior -- are good when I'm feeling more resistant than usual to richness induced headaches.

I'm a capitalist, after all, self-interested but not altogether selfish.

No matter what your goal,
Keep your eye upon the donut,
And not upon the hole.
