Donuts By Any Other Name

My daughter hates mayonnaise so much that she has been able to develop her oil/egg emulsion aversion into an aversion therapy weight control program. 

  • Passing mayo section in Walmart = loss of desire for Jr. Mints
  • Unscrewing lid of mayo jar and sniffing = loss of desire for Chik-fil-A chocolate milkshake 

  • Accidental bite and consumption of mayo laden sandwich = loss of desire for Thanksgiving dinner

  •  Consumption of 1 tablespoon of mayo straight with eyes open = possible celebrity look a like potential


















Yesterday I discovered a similar aversion therapy cure for my decades long love of donut holes when I read that this confection was introduced by Dutch immigrants and that the deep-fried dollops of dough were called "olibollen" or "oily balls".  

Somehow, that just took all the joy out of them
