I'm back in Toronto for a couple of weeks. Went into a Tim Horton's today, not because I particularly wanted a box of Timbits, but just because I could. I must be homesick, the experience struck me as highly profound.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Timbit, these are tiny round donuts, available in assorted flavours and usually purchased in a box (although I do believe you can buy just the one).

Contrast to the spherical speciality of 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), Holland, the Bosche Bollen — cream-filled profiteroles the size of your head!
