It's National Doughnut day!

National Doughnut Day: Friday is the day America celebrates the doughnut.

National Doughnut Day originated with the The Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938 as a salute to the women who served doughnuts to U.S. soldiers during World War I.

The Salvation Army's "doughnet lassies" continued that service during World War II and cemented the doughnut's place in the American diet. If you want to try to duplicate the doughnut lassies' work in your kitchen today, The Salvation Army is providing their original recipe.

If you're not in the mood to celebrate National Doughnut Day in the kitchen, try heading down to your local Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts.

Krispy Kreme is offering a free doughnut to all customers at participating locations.

At participating Dunkin Donuts, customers will get a free doughnut with the purchase of a beverage.

Damn.  I'm running late this morning.  I think I will swing by Shipley's and get a couple dozen for the office.  That way I'm not late, but the guy that bought breakfast ;D

Since this does seem to be a nationally recognized day, I felt the need to do my patriotic duty.
