Score a Free Doughnut on Friday
Friday, June 2nd is National Donut Day.
And it’s Gina’s birthday.
Happy National Donut Day! Happy Birthday, Gina!
We’re finally in the month of summer and my peonies are in their glory—white, pink and red blooms abound. There is much to celebrate.
Back to the free doughnut topic, in case you’re a fan. 
Dunkin’ Donuts is offering a free classic donut of your choice with the purchase of any drink on their menu on Friday, June 2nd.
There may be other donut deals, so be sure to ask at your local bakery if you’d like to be part of the celebration.
You can bet Mr. Non-Compliant will read this blog post and check into it.
He’s all about a doughnut—but only if it’s amazing.
Amazing is better than free.
Since doughnuts are not a health food, (I know you know this because you’ve been reading my blog posts) it’s best to limit intake. On National Donut Day, if you must indulge, make it amazing.
Curious as to the correct spelling of doughnut? Here’s the scoop:
“Dictionaries and popular style guides like the AP Stylebook list doughnut as the preferred spelling. However, donut is a common variation in the United States. It’s less common in official settings but is still fully acceptable.”
There you have it. Consider yourself to be a donut expert, at least on Friday.
Brew a Tastier Cup of Coffee
As I was thinking about donuts, my mind wandered to thoughts of coffee. If I were going to enjoy a donut, I’d want an amazing cup of coffee to accompany it.
This past weekend, I deep-cleaned my coffee maker. 
NI’m sure my coffee will be tastier now.
When was the last time you deep-cleaned your coffee maker?
If you’re like me and that task gets overlooked on a regular basis, follow these simple steps to deep-clean your coffee maker. You use distilled white vinegar. If you need some, let me know. I overbought.
Be sure all the water is out of the water chamber before beginning.
Step 1: Pour
Pour equal parts distilled white vinegar and water into your coffee maker’s water chamber.
Step 2: Brew
With the basket and filter chamber empty, activate the switch to brew.
Step 3: Stop and Sit
When half the liquid has brewed, turn off the coffee maker and let the solution sit for about an hour.
Step 4: Resume
When an hour is up, turn the coffee maker on again to finish the cycle.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat
Discard the solution and run several brew cycles with clean water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
It’s advised to repeat this procedure every month to enjoy delicious coffee and extend the life of your coffee maker. (Wash the carafe, basket and filter with warm, soapy water after each use.)
Better put it in the calendar or it won’t happen.
Wishing you a beautiful June weekend.
Much love,
