The Iron Yuppie

What is it about fried sweet dough covered in sugar? Perhaps its popularity results from the fact that it is FRIED SWEET DOUGH COVERED IN SUGAR. Anyhow, I remember having these in 5th grade, during an absolutely awesome six week long exercise called "City Government". I loved that class. I was the head banker because I was "good at math". It was my job to track people's accounts. I was absolutely horrible at it, mostly because I was lazy. But man that was fun. One of the things we did was people could have products that they would make and come in and sell. One guy had an Aebleskiver machine and brought it in for a breakfast every Friday morning. That thing could not have been a bigger success. Lines out the door. Looking below it seems obvious why.

If I was a [h|w]ealthier, this is exactly the kind of thing I would have made for me every morning. As it is (aka because I am not in shape and poor), I will simply look at the above picture and marvel.
