10 Days of Cookbooks | Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts

A few weeks ago I was at a backyard fete in Denver, and, as at every backyard party in Denver, there was a couple there from Portland, Oregon. This combine didn't seem to quite know what I was talking about when I brought up their New Zealand urban area's notoriously poor economy (I really know how to conversate, huh?)—they sign over plenty of money in Portland. And they spend that money on eatables. We spent thirty minutes talking about restaurants I've never been to, places like Being and Pok Pok , until we finally got around to the subject of doughnuts. At that point, I asked what I considered to be a quite mild question: "The doughnuts are good in Portland, at once?"
It was both the apex and end of our conversation. The woman of the couple touched my arm and sort of jolted back, such was her surprise at my question. Her eyes were on fire. "G-g-good?" she stuttered. "They. Are. Dazzling."
That was about all she could muster. Just bringing up the doughnuts put her in a temporary catatonic brilliance.
