Tried It: 7-11 Lemon Pie donut

I got in a wreck on my bike this morning, so I decided to get myself a pity donut. Their donut de jour was a lemon pie donut.

The frosting is unsophisticated. I liked that about it, but my wife thought it was too sweet. The crumbles on top were a good idea but a little weak on execution. They fell off too easily, so my dining table got covered in them, especially at my three-year-old's seat. They were also a little too large, and the overall effect distracted from an otherwise good donut.

The lemon curd inside though? Mild and well balanced, really a nice filling. It had enough tartness and lemon flavor to cut the sweetness of the frosting and bread, but not so much that you pucker. I will unironically call the lemon curd filling in this 7-11 donut delicate.

I'm generally a fan of 7-11's donut bread. Is that what you call the bready part of a donut? I don't know my donut anatomy. Anyway, this one is standard in that respect. Light and airy, fatty enough to feel indulgent without being greasy or slick.

So overall, I'd eat this donut again. It could be improved by stronger lemon in the frosting as well as by smaller and softer crumbles attached better. With a cup of earl gray, it'd be a great mid-afternoon treat.

Tried it: Blogger app

This is a silly inaugural post, but I'm curious if the Blogger app is pleasant and usable for this type of content.

This blog is hosted on Google Blogger, which I use for the community newsletter I also run, www.BmoreRemingtonian.com. I didn't care for the mobile app for that because most of the content is written in Word and Publisher for use in print and then copied over into the web interface.

So far, this is okay. I'll be curious to see what the product looks like. I could see this being useful for sending off quick reviews of weird stuff I encounter whole wandering. I can't imagine writing longer posts on here though, just because I get tired of the phone keyboard. 

Update: Photo handling is a little clunky on the app. So far I can only dump all the photos in at the end. And if I don't write the text first, it's hard to find the cursor. That said, it's easy enough to clean it up the next time I'm at a full computer.
