Feast of the Day, 24 April

Today's books were almost literally without mention of food at all. So I'm going back to what would have been my Feast of the Day, if I had been doing Feasts of the Day on April 11th. I read a really disarming book called Bob Knight's Diary at Poplar Hill School, published in 1900. Bob befriends the cook at his school and does all sorts of work for her so she'll cook doughnuts for him and his classmates. His obsession with doughnuts reads as follows: "There is nothing like being on the right side of the cook. Doughnuts! Doughnuts!! Doughnuts!!!" If I make it to the super retro-looking Krispy Kreme while I'm here, I'll eat one in Bob's honor.
