The best snack for entertaining is just a dozen doughnuts from your favorite local shop
Since getting fully vaccinated earlier this year, I’ve been getting back into the swing of having friends over. It wasn’t just that the pandemic had me out of practice — about three months into shelter-in-place mandates, I had a baby. And let me tell you, having friends over in a pandemic when you have a baby is very different from having friends over without either.
The very first time I had friends over was sort of impromptu — a park meetup lasted long enough that everyone wanted to use a bathroom. Being fully vaccinated, finally, meant we could offer our nearby apartment. It was a Saturday, and on the table was a pink box of doughnuts, an almost full dozen after my husband and I decided it would be a doughnut day. The bathroom pit stop evolved into a full-fledged hang: I think it was because of the doughnuts.
The next time I had friends over, I was more deliberate. I made a lovely grazing board that included spicy salami, prosciutto, figs, cherries and apricots from the farmers market, honey-roasted almonds, and a few cheeses, including one of my personal favorites,— a velvety triple-cream that costs around $16 to $24 for 8 ounces. Because I had asked them to come on the early side, I also hedged my bets, and got a dozen doughnuts, too. Guess what everyone wanted to eat? It was the doughnuts.
Of course, I also have opinions on what kind of doughnuts you should offer. Stick to the classics — in LA, where I live, it means the pink-box shops. Get: some frosted, some glazed, some old-fashioneds, and a few wild cards, maybe a toasted coconut, an apple fritter, and a cinnamon twist. Make a pot of coffee, set out your doughnuts, and enjoy your day with friends while making little-to-no effort in terms of feeding them whatsoever.
