donut hate.

foodie : A person that spends a keen amount of attention and energy on knowing the ingredients of food, the proper preparation of food, and finds great enjoyment in top-notch ingredients and exemplary preparation. 

also, 

A proletarian or member of the middle class who occasionally eats quality food, often of the type enjoyed by the higher classes but sometimes "exotic" food of foreign lands. What the foodie calls "gourmet," the upper class or upper middle class will simply call "food." Foodies often enjoy displaying their knowledge of food, which they must acquire since they must prepare it themselves, not having the finanical means to regularly have others prepare it for them.

haha. i love Urban Dictionary. both definitions are pulled off that site and i tip my hat to whoever came up with those definitions. a foodie, in my opinion, is simply a person who is rather picky with their food. i for one, am not a foodie.

if you must put me in a category, i think i am the sort of person who enjoys classic foods. i am open to trying new foods of galore, but i hardly ever find myself actually falling in love with these new, exotic, futuristic gourmet foods. 

here's an example. 

donuts.

when i say donuts, i mean these:

NOT these :

i'm not sure how sugar-topped donuts evolved into a variety of donuts covered in rainbow-coloured creams and nuts and powder and God knows what else. and then guess what, they started to stuff creams INSIDE the donuts. some of these donuts sometimes get to me and i may enjoy them for a while, but i usually find myself going back to the classic, good ol' plain donut topped with white sugar or even sugar-glazed donuts. those become my cravings.

this isn't a hate post on foodies, by the way.

i'm just trying to clarify to myself that i do indeed, like food the old way. Western food, especially. give me a good classic Western breakfast and i will be a happy girl all day long. Waffles or pancakes? drown them in maple syrup or honey! a scoop of ice-cream or two would turn it into a great dessert. 

well, i don't know. i could be wrong about myself. people are ever-changing, anyways. 

maybe my inner self just really wanted to write about the donuts today.
