Manager Kim Rolli restocks racks of donuts at a Boston branch of Dunkin' Donuts

I've been thinking a lot about donuts today. Specifically, the old-fashioned donut I was unable to resist this morning, despite the fact that it was day-old and someone else had nibbled on it. Those crispy, buttermilky gems are my weakness and my sons say it's because I'm an old-fashioned kind of girl. Or maybe that was just "old."

What's your favorite type of donut and what does that say about you?
