The Power of Voodoo

It all comes back to David Bowie, doesn't it?  Credit for this entry's title goes to David Bowie for this little ditty:

You remind me of the babe. / What babe? / The babe with the power./ What power? / The power of voodoo. //

While in Portland, I didn't experience voodoo, but I did experience Voodoo Doughnut.  

Yes, I got VD in Portland.  Haha. I cannot take credit for this joke, though.  They have already made the bumper stickers and display them in this glorious doughnut display case.

I planned to go to Voodoo Doughnut and had the good fortune of serendipitously stumbling upon it while wandering.  Tip:  The line is always out the door here. OK, it was at least out the door the two times that I went. Be forewarned, though, that I've heard this is the norm so plan accordingly if you're looking to get your doughnut fix.

I tried three different types of donuts (descriptions via Voodoo Doughnut):

1.  The Voodoo Doll Doughnut:  Raised yeast doughnut filled with raspberry jelly topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake! My favorite as evidenced by the fact that I ate two in 24 hours. The cutest doughnut you'll ever eat.

2.  The Old Dirty Bastard: Raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, Oreos and peanut butter!

Tasty. A winning combination (just like the Wu-Tang Clan. RIP ODB.)

3.  Dirty Snowballs Doughnut: Chocolate cake doughnut with marshmallow topping, dipped in coconut and a dollop of peanut butter in the middle!  This one was ok, though not ok enough to finish. A bit dry; I saved my stomach reserves for my second voodoo doughnut doll.

Yum.  Half of this box belongs to me and the other half to my friend.  From top right, we have:  Dirty Snowballs, Voodoo Doll, Old Dirty Bastard, and Captain my Captain doughnuts.  

Voodoo Doughnuts is more or less a required Portland stop.  Enjoy your sugar, friends. It's worth it.
