What's for Breakfast?
There's a small donut shop in walking distance, but I can't have jelly donuts. I did have one from there a couple of years ago and they are good. When you weigh 262 pounds, you can't eat jelly donuts.
God and Texas!
Houston's main donut chain is Shipleys, a local family chain. They chase the bigger donut chains out of town. They do so much business that the donuts are usually still warm.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 2:57 pmMy wife and I used to wait for a couple of hours in line at a place called m&m doughnuts in Anaheim CA for their fresh blueberry cake doughnuts.

We would drive 45 minutes one way to get them every so often.
I used to eat a half dozen in a minute.

We have a Shipleys here in the Birmingham area. Amazing donuts. However, my all time favorite donut is an Apple fritter. The best I’ve ever had come from a small hole in the wall here called Joes Donuts. They even do a peach fritter which is spectacularRonv69 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 3:55 pmHouston's main donut chain is Shipleys, a local family chain. They chase the bigger donut chains out of town.

Wow, I had no idea they had spread that far. I worked in Birmingham in 1968, taking inventory for a chain of convenience stores. First place I ever had a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I loved the town for some things, like it's impossible to get lost if you can see a street sign. Railroad tracks made driving across town take forever. The steel mills were still running back then and it was the first time I saw mountains. The really bad part I won't go into, but I hear that things have changed for the better.pipedrum22 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 3:59 pmWe have a Shipleys here in the Birmingham area. Amazing donuts.

It’s a great city! But has its downsides just like any other. I live in the sticks to get peace and quite but we’re close enough to go into town for nice dinners and such. Best of both worlds.Ronv69 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 4:17 pmWow, I had no idea they had spread that far. I worked in Birmingham in 1968, taking inventory for a chain of convenience stores.
