It's an artificial division, a tyranny of the plate. Many people have been conditioned to follow an unwritten rule about what is proper to eat at different times during the day. The seeds of revolution exist though, and there are rebels who seek to cast down the old rules, and ignore the authorities who try to dictate what we eat. I side with these rebels and firmly believe that the time has come to destroy these barriers. I, and others, desire to enjoy "breakfast" foods all day long.

Cider Donuts! To me, they are a pleasure year-round, although some feel they are best during the fall. They can be found at supermarkets, small food shops, and even restaurants, although it's difficult to surpass buying them at a local farm, where they have their own apple orchards. And this past Friday, I stopped at one such farm, and purchased what I consider to be the "best" cider donuts. Whenever I'm in the Ipswich area, I stop at Russell Orchards to pick up a dozen or so cider donuts.

The restaurant industry is difficult, especially in these tough economic times. Restaurants need all the help they can get to survive. Consumers have so many choices and restaurants must compete and try to stand out. Restaurants seek out ways to draw in new customers and it can be tough to know what works and what doesn't. Before dining out, a significant number of people will seek out restaurant reviews to assist in their decision of where to eat.
