I got a plain sugar donut and a hot cocoa. Pretty sweet ending to a great night. Darcie and I were content with our end of night treat until Evan (the cool Lipscomb student who works the night shift who has a broken shoulder) said, "Hey, the blueberry donuts just came out of the fryer, I'll bring you one :)"
So out came two warm glazed blueberry donuts. I've never heard of such a thing, and my whole life I didn't know what I was missing. It was like a light, soft, blueberry muffin, but was so warm and sweet. Covered in a thin layer of warm glaze, it crumbled in my hand and melted in my mouth. Literally. It was blissful. I didn't want to eat a whole second donut, but I couldn't stop. It was so good.
I've had to go on a sugar detox since then. The two donuts and hot cocoa were a bit of an overload, but there hasn't been an evening since that I haven't craved a warm blueberry donut and a cold glass of milk. OMG I may just change out of my PJs and drive over there now. They are open till midnight...

(P.S. A fun tid bit-the owner of Fox's started the donut shop when he was a Ph.D student at Vandy, and he's now a professor at Lipscomb. How he had time to do that, I have no idea!)
The donuts there are amazing. Wait the place with the neon sign on Abbott Martin right? First time there I had a glazed fresh out of the fryer. Nothing like it. Better than Krispy Kreme. My favorite is the apple fritter. Best apple fritter I have ever had. Gotta try that blueberry next time. -Angelique
