It has been a bleak 48 hours for a partisan news junkie like me. I’ve been on a media fast for the last two days, only occasionally glancing at headlines, just to know the score. Plus, it gets dark so early now, I feel myself being pulled into a pre-winter malaise. (That it was 85 degrees here in L.A. makes it only weirder.) This morning, the only part of the newspaper that I did read was the food section. The Times did an in-depth feature [2] on donut shops across New York City. I was especially taken with these mini cake donuts accompanied by a dark chocolate dipping sauce. Yum.
