Common Sense, by Martin Parr

This photo [part of an exhibition I'm dying to see next week] was the inspiration for my donuts, which turned out to be a delicious disaster. Sure, deep-fried dough smothered in icing sugar does sound remarkably like donuts, but mine do not have the look or taste of the real thing. For one, they do not have holes in the middle. For another, the texture is closer to biscuit than to bread. But they are yummy nonetheless. Deep-fried anything is always yummy.

Now that I have exhausted my inner Martha Stewart with that bout of cooking and baking and vacuuming and laundering, tomorrow I can truly concentrate on my reading and research. Well, that's the plan anyway.
