Glazed & Confused

A returning stroll from the Georgetown proved to be the highlight of a casual Sunday. As I'm sauntering across P Street I gaze upon a colorful sign with a quirky name. Hmmm.....quirky and colorful, right up my alley. The sign reads "The Fractured Prune". I am clueless as to what awaits me inside but I must patronize this delightful joint. For the love of all that is pure and holy, I made the right decision!

With only one foot across the threshold my nose perks up to the sweet smells of pastries. Just a side note, pastries are my new love since banishing vodka from my life. Upon closer inspection I am utterly joyed at my culinary prospects. DONUTS. Not just your ordinary Krispy (lame) Kreme. Oh no, I've found mecca.

The Fractured Prune is ready to create utter chaos for your taste buds. At the Fractured Prune you can choose from cake donuts (made on sight once you order) topped with more combinations than you can wrap your mind around. My words cannot even begin to do the menu justice so take a gander for yourself....if you think you can handle it.

It takes considerable deliberation to decide upon my first donut. At this point I'm a Prune virgin and my first time must be exhilerating (unlike some other firsts in my life). My selection is made. I munch on the Blueberry Hill (blueberry glaze with powdered sugar) with delight while my dining companion feasts upon the Chocolate Covered Cherry (cherry glaze and mini chocolate chips). Did I mention the donut is served warm? God, could life taste any better? The Fractured Prune may charge $1.85 per donut but you can't put a price on such culinary perfection. After just one bite, I'm hooked and no other donut will ever touch these lips.

Run to The Fractured Prune and leave your comments about your menu seletions. I dare you!
