Read-A-Thon: Update the Third & Nicole’s Feed Me Seymour Mini-Challenge

Doughnuts3No, this is not what I’m snacking on.  Though I wish it was!  In fact, if I didn’t know that I had a nice big piece of baklava sitting in my fridge for later, I might run up to Mighty-O Donuts.  In fact, I still might, as it’s only a few blocks away and open until 5 PM.
