Crullers!

Why was I not informed that Friday, June 3, was National Doughnut Day?
It seems this extremely worthy holiday has been held on the first Friday in June since 1938, when the Chicago branch of the Salvation Army started the celebration as way to raise money for victims of the Great Depression and to honor its female volunteers who served doughnuts to the doughboys in Europe during World War I.
This was all news to me, but I've already put the date on my 2012 calendar for next June. I'll give you a heads-up.
