Alice in Doughnutland

Alice's Adventures in Doughnutland (commonly shortened to Alice in Doughnutland) is an 1995 novel written by Swedish-American author Mattias Johansson under the pseudonym MLJ=Best.[1] It tells the story of a girl named Alice who eats too many doughnut holes and is transported into a fantasy world (the Doughnutland of the title) populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic pastries. The tale plays with sugar and fat in ways that have given doughnuts lasting popularity with adults as well as children.[2] It is considered to be one of the best examples of the bakery nonsense genre,[2][3] and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential,[3] especially in the cookbook genre.

Because of the tsunami stroll today at 10:00, donuts will be slightly delayed (to 10:30). Come to donuts after you’ve survived the survivors’ walk…
