IDEAS IN FOOD

What's Happening Right Now?

 

As I write this, Alex is torching a table top to create a single black table for the shop. It's made from the recycled bowling alley wood. Once he's done we're going to coat the wood and let it's natural beauty shine through. 

Those of you who frequented the Spring House location will be happy to hear that Cynthia is returning as our Chef. We are very excited to have the team back together again. We have a lot more room to play in the new space and we're so glad that she's here for it.

Things are slowly coming together. The outdoor signs have been approved by the township and ordered. The floors will be finished sometime next week. And, as you can see in the picture above, the counters are taking shape. It's going to be a mad dash to the finish line and we are ready for the challenge. 

You've got less than one week left to take advantage of any rewards you're still thinking about. Please share the Kickstarter campaign with anyone who you think might enjoy it. We look forward to seeing you all at the new shop!

Down the Rabbit Hole

 

Roughly 7 years ago Curiosity Doughnuts began with a question, "What can we do with doughnuts?" The answer is still being written. Curiosity Doughnuts gets its name from our own restless curiosity. We are always thinking about new flavors and textures, bouncing around different ideas, and rotating our offerings, because we’re never satisfied with the status quo.

Curiosity Doughnuts began as a part time passion project in the Stockton Market that grew into a full time business with shops inside Whole Foods Market and beyond. We were moving from NH back to PA and we wanted to try something new. The idea of doughnuts came up, then a space magically appeared, and the rest is history. Our history began with Alex making a ridiculous 14 hour round trip commute each week for seven months while we sold our house and made the actual move and a whole lot of skepticism from everyone we knew. We’ve built a flourishing small business that makes people happy. Our goal is always to make people happy with doughnuts. We strive to do that every day we are open.

Our customers are the most important ingredients in our success. They are smart and inquisitive. They talk to us, asking questions, and sharing thoughts. We appreciate every one of you. It’s been such a pleasure to share our doughnuts with the world.

We have the best staff ever. We couldn’t have developed, shared, and eaten so many delicious doughnuts without them. Whole Foods Market has been a solid base of operations. They gave us the opportunity to share their space and we have met many incredible people throughout our relationship with them.

Curiosity Doughnuts has come to a crossroads and we are choosing to go off-road. The last seven years have been incredibly delicious, creative and inspiring. They have also taken their toll. We are hitting pause and shutting down our current locations. Our last day at Native Café will be Saturday, June 25. Princeton will be Sunday, June 26. White Horse Coffee will be July 1. Our final day will be at Spring House on Sunday July 3.

Change is necessary and we are embracing that. We are brainstorming new ways to bring the doughnuts back, but it’s a work in progress. Any new developments will be posted here and on social media. So keep an eye out. You never know where the rabbit hole will lead us…

The Home-tel

 

I came down to the Tyson's Corner area of Virginia on October 20th. I had plans to stay in an AirBnb. That was an epic failure. I had to shift quickly and ended up in a Comfort Inn for a few nights. I returned home in despair as we planned the next stage of opening Curiosity Doughnuts in Virginia and examined my lodging opportunities. I came across the Hyatt House out by Dulles airport. It was reasonably priced, actually the best out there, and it had space as well as semi-homelike conveniences: a full sized fridge, a 2 burner stove, a toaster and a microwave.

I have been in the Hyatt House for over a month now. I am the guy the front desk people now wave to and I know them by name. The other evening as I arrived back (home) I was greeted with welcome back to your home-tel. The comment was funny because it was true.

Learning to Roar

 

Adding a second shop is teaching us a lot about what we don't know. It's hard to toot your own horn and to reach out to people and ask for help. This new project has forced us to do both of those things, sometimes at the same time. It's helped us to own our accomplishments in a way that we may have shied away from in the past. We've never been big on bragging about our achievements but we've realized that acknowledging them can be empowering. It reminds us that even when things get tough we can push through and make things happen. We know that we can create magic because we've done it before. This is very helpful knowledge when we're chasing doughnut unicorns in Virginia and beyond...

Have Courage

 

Amaya took this shot because she wanted to remember the sentiment. It's important because in the moments when we need courage, we are generally stressed out and somewhat self-absorbed. It's very easy in these moments to forget the importance of kindness. Kindness always comes back to us, in one way or another. It makes the world a happier place and that benefits everyone.

First Pick

 

We made it to Solebury Orchards today. The sun was out, the air was cool with a breeze and the apples were plentiful. We filled out bag with gala and honeycrisp apples. It was great to get to the orchard early today, as opposed to our fiasco last year when we couldn't even find parking and went with our staple backup plan, soft serve custard. Amaya made an interesting assessment of the morning, wishing the apples were less plentiful so that the actual picking experience would have been longer and more challenging.

Resilience

While we often have the best of intentions, for the last couple of years the weed patch has gone largely untended. We happily shell out money in the beginning of the season for a variety of herbs, briefly harvest and enjoy them, and then they languish. We forget to water and trim, heck we forget to use them at all. So this year we decided to let it go. There was a lot going on this summer and we would take a break. Apparently the weed patch decided otherwise. The basil (pictured above) and the chives came back on their own. They are an unexpected gift and just enough to keep us happy. Those herbs are resilient and we are working on being the same. If we can all learn to flourish when neglected or under duress, imagine what we could accomplish.

Celebrate The Days

At Amaya's camp two weeks ago there was a pony wedding. The kids nominated two horses from the stable to get married and the week's free time was devoted to wedding preparations. The parents were invited to come in for the wedding. Amaya was one of the "mothers of the bride" and all of the other ponies were in the wedding party. It was amazing, There were banners and flowers, noisemakers and edible (for ponies) confetti. Every detail was covered right down to the wedding cake. The best man and maid of honor spoke of the bride and groom. Both have known both ponies for years and everyone toasted them with ginger ale. A good time was had by all. It was a timely reminder that we can make any day into a celebration, even if we don't have a wedding going on. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives it's easy to say we're too busy to celebrate the small stuff. But then we never make time to celebrate anything. Let's all try to learn from our kids and inject a little more fun into our daily lives.

Free Marshmallows

When I was in San Francisco I visited Dandelion Chocolate. I ordered a hot chocolate and a tiramisu. To the right of the counter was the coffee and hot chocolate accompaniments. There was a container of homemade marshmallows, free for the taking. In every other place I have been, marshmallows are an additional charge, usually a substantial one in comparison to the cost of the drink. I added one to my chocolate beverage and let it happily melt into it. I would not have bothered to buy a marshmallow for my beverage, but because I could it add it guilt free I did. I wonder what else could benefit from this idea of free?

Most of the time when I travel it is for work. Work revolves around food. I often do not look beyond the kitchen and the dining room. During my most recent trip to San Francisco I had the opportunity to leave the kitchen and spend some time not cooking. I might have spent the time with food folks talking about food. I was rewarded by seeing and experiencing life beyond the kitchen doors. The walk around the Golden Gate Bridge was wind swept and awe inspiring.

Solving and Learning

I have become fascinated by the Rubik's cube. The spark came from Daniel, one of our employees at the shop. He taught himself to solve the cube with YouTube videos. Now his top speed is 14 seconds. He entertained customers on Christmas Eve with his prowess. I have spent the past several months fumbling with the cube. I tried learning from the videos. I could not follow along. Finally I reached out to Daniel. He pointed me to the website The Cubicle, which has a beginners how to cube video.

 

At first I stumbled through the video. Then I realized I needed to pay better attention and actually take notes. I used note cards and broke the process into steps. These cards gave me points I could return to if I forgot and stumbled. I forgot how useful note cards can be. I used the cards to help me solve the cube. I can now solve the cube pretty regularly without the cards, as long as my mind does not wander. I've learned the process. Now a much bigger task presents itself, how to learn the cube?

I love the sentiment behind this poem by Gary Turk,

but there's a certain irony to the fact that we're all watching it on a video screen.

The Ingenuity Of Youth

 

 

When you have to protect your livestock, you can come up with incredible ideas and figure out how to make them happen. Sometimes we all need a little motivation to push us into becoming the creators and inventors we truly are inside.

Talk To Strangers

 

I love this talk because it encapsulates the way I feel about the world. Smile. Be friendly, you never know when it will be welcome. Those small moments of connection make the world a better place
