Marché in Slovenia??!

Along a major Slovenian highway somewhere between Austria and Croatia, we made a pit-stop at a Marché during our roadtrip. It was freaky because it felt like I coulda been at the Richtree on Yonge Street in Toronto, for goodness' sakes! ...only the signs were all written in Slovenian. But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to find this candycane-shaped pretzel or this jam-filled donut (called Berliner in German) in Toronto [insert evil laugh]. BTW: really wish we had the chance to see more of Slovenia!!

Wendy Ding's Donut Girl

Wendy Ding's illustrations are utterly lip-smacking. Just look at this blonde-haired beauty. In an instant, I'm back to being 4-year-old Shelley, whose favourite donut of all time was Hawaiian. Like every other kid, I was just enticed by the donut's colourful sprinkles. Oh, it was such fun biting into that lightly-glazed, airy donut! Each bite into that frosted layer of crunchy sprinkles tickled my teeth with joy. Check out Ms. Ding's foxy Donut Girl in full, "complete with friendly donut neighbours," at http://wendyding.com/blog.
