Donuts...... Oh man I hope to get to Britt’s at Carolina Beach this year. My personal favorite.

On a health kick for the new year? 😁
(I would kill for a jelly donut)
Is there a bakery or some kind of chain joint near you? The doughnuts from Dunkin are no where close to what they used to be...
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. 😕

I have, my kids love doods! I start work at 430 so my choices of anything good are limited.
Thats great to hear. Jersey Devil is my favortie. Chocolate and Cayanne Pepper. We would drive 45 minutes one way to get them every so often.
My 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. They were open from 10pm-10am or some such craziness
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.
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 spectacular

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.

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.

I was 6'0 before I broke my leg a couple of times. With an orthopedic shoe I still am.
