Even these are weird. Only slightly better, like chewing on a styrofoam coffee cup coated in sugar.

Rice Krispie cakes...or dessert....back in my bachelor days....usually after a hearty supper of Kraft Dinner.

I love Old Fashioned (known around here as Norwegian Sour Cream) doughnuts. The only thing that compares is a cake doughnut from Wall Drug.
NO SPRINKLES on either. (The broken tooth story really is true)

I had been craving donuts, so son, d-i-l, and grandson Bobby brought us donuts for breakfast yesterday morning.
Lots of donuts. I had more for this morning's breakfast.
If only we could harness the energy of a two year old fueled by donuts and chocolate milk!

Wall Drugs has great, no make that wonderful plain donuts. When we were there, I overindulged at the store, than continued to overindulge in the car as we traveled on.

Their flavour is reminiscent of a plain donut, an old city chain of restaurants offers in my burg. The restaurant company is Salisbury's. It used to be an kind of an old fashioned diner.

They were established in the early '30's by a guy who named the restaurant after the Salisbury steak. He made hamburgers for 5 cents (1931) and called them nips and also made these plain donuts..... that I occasionally wax eloquent about.

As an aside and in fact.... till McDonald's came up here in the '60's, no one in my area, called a hamburger a hamburger. They called it a 'Nip'. And French fries were called chips. Now that is all gone and it has come to just calling it a burger and fries.

Frankly, I like Nip and chips. But I digress.

I don't know the history of the Wall Drug donut, but I bet it goes back to at least the '30's. Both the Wall and the Salisbury donut taste similar to me, so I wonder if they have a similar, but not the same recipe. Some commonalities from almost a 100 years ago.

I like to think that my love of a good, plain donut is simply not about scarfing it down quickly...but that I also have an academic interest . However I do admit that scarfing it down, will always take precedence over pursuing the history of the donut.

Because that's the way I roll.

Independence Day is an excuse to grill food, drink beer, and blow stuff up. So I do. This year I had electric matches, and a wireless remote control ignition system. It was fun, and with time I should get good at timing the photos with the launches.

The beer.

The stuff blowing up.

Gonna blow up more stuff, either next weekend, or the one after that. The oldest grandson has enlisted in the US Army, and ships out on the 26th. Also, the 6 year anniversary of my time at The Big Shed is the 25th, and I max out (reach the top of the pay scale for my job). So it would be a great time to celebrate some, eh?

What happened to your bagel? Looks like the roadway striping crew took a few passes over it, and then tried to cover it up with a hydroseeding machine.

I bet they charge an extra $5 for that treatment.

Some sort of mayo, I think. Tasted good, but not very practical for picking up the bagel with one's hands. I had to resort to eating said bagel with a knife and fork, which was slightly weird.

Haven't had a Cornut© since.

I miss Cornuts©.

Never even got to enjoy Cornuts© with Beer©.

You'll need to post a photo of this "Cornut" thing. I've heard of, or have handled all sorts of nuts, but never a "Cornut"!

It's Corn Nuts, not Cornuts.
Love 'em, but years since I've had 'em.

Not to be funny, but those things look like a visit to the dentist! And, my dentist can fund his next Cervelo with some other sap's money!
