Apple picking is everyone’s favorite fall activity, how could it not be you get to eat and pick delicious apples. I have been going apple picking with my friend Mollie since I was six years old. We go to Honey Pot Orchard in the next town over and pick a large bag of apples, then go into the store get some cider, candy apples, and of course the BEST part of apple picking, the cider cinnamon sugar donuts. The donuts at Honey Pot are famous. I like to think people come to Honey Pot solely for the delicious donuts. When I tell my mom I am going to Honey Pot her first reaction is, “Bring back 2 bags of donuts for everyone!” It’s like going to your relative’s house and always expecting them to cook your families favorite dish, but in this …show more content…
The only downside to the donuts is the long line you can always count on. I usually don’t have to wait in it because my friends and I take turns, but not this time. I never actually realized how impatient I was until I had to stand looking at what it felt like millions of people’s heads in front of me. We tried to pick the shortest, and fastest moving line but they all were pretty much the same. We got in line at 2:30pm and did not get our donuts until 3:40pm. Some may call us crazy for waiting that long for a stupid donut but they aren’t just any donuts, they are the best donuts you will ever …show more content…
The worst part was watching people exit from the front of the line chowing down on the beautiful cider filled donuts as they walked to their cars. I just wanted to run into the building and eat all them I was so hungry. When it was finally my time to order I got a dozen cinnamon sugar cider donuts. The lady behind the counter handed me a big white paper bag filled with the most perfect donuts. I could feel the heat radiating off the doughy circular goodness because they came straight from the oven. The aroma of cinnamon mixed with cider smell stimulated my taste buds. I had no self-control after leaving the window and I immediately devoured the most heavenly donut I have ever tasted. All the built up anticipation for the donuts and the severe hunger I was experiencing made the donut taste that much better. It was crisp on the outside, the cinnamon and sugar covered the outside crumbled off onto my fingers and filled my mouth with every bite. The donut was not to doughy, it was the perfect amount of bready texture. The lasting taste of the cider reminded me of fall and apples, and best of all it was a small donut so eating two of them did not make you feel that guilty. It is safe to say the hour long wait and day of anticipation was well worth it to get these delicious
In the poem, Blackberry-Picking by Seamus Heany, the author takes the reader back to the 1940’s in Northern Ireland where he experienced his childhood. The poem seems deceivingly simple about picking blackberries during the summertime. However, the poem demonstrates a deeper meaning. The author relates his childhood memories to the harsh reality of life. In the poem Blackberry-Picking by Seamus Heany, the author uses extended metaphor, contrast, similes, and a shift in point of view in order to examine that as one grows and learns, innocence is lost.
“Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday conveys the inhumane, gory lynchings of African-Americans in the American South, and how this highly unnatural act had entrenched itself into the society and culture of the South, almost as if it were an agricultural crop. Although the song did not originate from Holiday, her first performance of it in 1939 in New York City and successive recording of the song became highly popular for their emotional power (“Strange fruit,” 2017). The lyrics in the song highlight the contrast between the natural beauty and apparent sophistication of the agricultural South with the brutal violence of lynchings. Holiday communicates these rather disturbing lyrics through a peculiarly serene vocal delivery, accompanied by a hymn-like
Madelyn McQueen - Twin Falls Idaho Have you ever wondered how the delicious, classic treat came to be? Well, any event you can think of after the date of 1938, the cookie was bound to be there. Several stories about how the country’s favorite baked good came to be, have been spread and believed by thousands. For example, Ruth Wakefield unexpectedly ran out of nuts for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version of how the cookie came to be. Wyman argues, that Ruth Wakefield, who had a degree in household arts and a reputation for perfectionism, would not have allowed her restaurant, which was famed for its desserts, to run out of such
If you are a teenager or young adult looking for a compelling and intriguing book to read, then I would recommend Apple and Rain, written by award winning author Sarah Crossan. When I first picked up the book, I did not think that I would enjoy it as much as I did. There were plenty of realistic and relatable events throughout the novel.
What is typically imagined when entering any establishment is that the experience should be seamless. That is, from the moment you enter until the moment you leave you don’t have a single feeling that anything at all has gone wrong; your goods or service was delivered in an efficient and effective manner. A fast food restaurant, coffee shop, or grocery would need to implement procedures that leave an impression on their customers, as interaction with them is brief. I went to Jason’s deli at around 5:00 p.m. on a Thursday however they were not busy. I have never been to this establishment before so I was not familiar with the procedures in place to process the customers.
Dunkin Donuts is known for its wide array of products.

Its selection of brands is limited to generic brands such as Minute Maid frozen Orange Coolatta. They also don’t sell pre-maid coffee bottles; they only sell K-cups
The poem “Blackberry-Picking” by Seamus Heaney describes the fragility of life and the finite amount of time we have before all good things must end. The poem conveys this message with the use of symbolism and similes.
Freedman convincingly argues that hitting the drive-thru may be a better choice for you and your pockets, rather than spending hours and all of your hard earned cash at a whole foods store. That may sound ridiculous to most people because they’re under the impression to not eat fast food because it is not good for you, while that may be true, neither is the advertised “healthy” foods.
Blackberry Picking Blackberry picking is about greed, growing up, and how we struggle in life. and how pleasure can be taken away from us very quickly. Heaney writes retrospectively, about the times he as a child would go. blackberry picking every year, as a metaphor for these experiences.
Through the use of fervent symbolism, allusive diction, and lurid allegory Seamus Heaney, in his poem “Blackberry Picking”, creates a framework to suggest a deeper meaning of lust. Although, Heaneys’ speaker has a progressively declining view on the lust he is referencing, he never loses his passion for the subject.

Krispy Kreme, a leading, well-established brand of high quality doughnuts, is still in a stage of astonishing growth potential. According to Dain Rauscher Wessels equity analyst David Geraty, “Krispy Kreme has established itself as the quality leader in the doughnut industry and is positioned to become the dominant industry player, with 145 retail locations in 27 states, Krispy Kreme is expected to capitalize on the brand conscious consumer’s demand for a consistent, high quality specialty food product” (Minneapolis 2000). Krispy Kreme has quickly risen to the top of the doughnut business in a short amount of time. The company’s goal since its infancy has been to satisfy customers by providing a unique experience when visiting a Krispy Kreme outlet. This bold strategy has differentiated them from their competition and created a competitive advantage. Customers are allowed to see how the doughnuts are made, and then served the newly baked treats hot and fresh. The bright neon light that shines from every Krispy Kreme location reads “Hot Doughnuts Now,” is one of Krispy Kreme’s key marketing strategies. When this sign is lit up, customers know that they will get fresh doughnuts that have just been made.
Looking back, I remember running through the long lush grass pretending we were at battle andtrying to take cover. I would always find myself behind the old oak tree in our back yard. This was my favorite spot. The thick trunk, like a bodyguard, protected me from the imaginary bullets that flew towards my body. I would lean against the hard bark and for some reason it was comforting to have something sturdy to lean on. It was dark brown, and every now and then a spider would nestle between the pieces of bark. Sometimes I would touch the tree to peek around the corner and my fingers would be sticky. I could never quite figure out why that was, but, nevertheless, I had the hardest time getting it off, a constant reminder of my tree.

They have production areas in full view and a neon light that lights up when "Hot Donuts" are actually coming off the line. Krispy Kreme makes customers feel good about indulging. Even Krispy Kreme's name brings a smile to people's faces.
