Eat more "hole" foods ... (Smile, its free therapy)

[bazooka111]

Today is Day 30 for our self-quarantine, protecting this Queen of our lives. We have been quite strict here on not allowing anything to come into this house ... My son is our designated "shopper", and he is the only one that goes out for groceries or anything essential that we cannot have delivered. We do the "hole" disinfecting thing before it comes in the house, etc. So ... after 30 days, we decided we owe it to ourselves to have something special that we love, and it is called "Krispy Kreme", a franchised donut shop in the USA.

While enjoying our donuts this morning ...I decided to share some donut jokes with Momma -- we had a great laugh, and enjoyed our special treat with our morning coffee. I said to Momma, " To find inner peace search deep inside yourself. Is there a donut there? If not, take corrective action". She smiled, and I said, " I love you to the donuts and back again"

Last one: We were watching the morning news, and I said, " Momma, we could steal a donut truck and go on a high speed chase .. because it would be funny watching cops chase a donut truck on the news!" Laughter is good medicine.

I miss Krispy Kreme. Only Duncan Donuts in any of our nearby shops. As its only the 2 of us, my wife wears multiple hats. Caregiver, chauffeur, social secretary, and of course the shopper.

She is doing the TOPS diet thing with other ladies in our community. They are social distancing by having their meetings online.

Of course while SHE is on the diet, I have to suffer. ☹️

Poor thing ... I know how that feels ... my husband does a lot of the cooking around here; so very good! But -- we all go on a diet when he does ... ahhhhh!!!! As for now --- we are eating donuts!! x

Railfan, you've just reminded me of a lovely memory I have of Rod.

I used to put myself on healthy eating regimes and he too suffered when I needed to diet. One day I went to put his clean socks in his drawer in the bedroom and I decided that some of the socks needed to be replaced. As I pulled the rolled up pairs out, one of them felt a bit solid. On investigation I found a bar of chocolate hidden there - it had been opened and a couple of squares had been eaten. I decided not to tell him of my discovery but I took a couple of squares to see if he'd notice and confess. A couple of days passed and he said nothing so I decided to replace the chocolate bar with dark chocolate - which he hated and wouldn't eat even in desperation. He had the most brilliant sense of humour. One day he came in from work and went upstairs to get changed - he came down and said, with a huge grin from ear to ear, "I've treated you to some chocolate love, cos I know you like the dark stuff." Oh, happy days!

Love Hils

Mmmm that looks yummy. Adds a "hole" new meaning to having a treat. Glad you are all trying to have some fun whilst in quarentine. Stay safe. 😆😆

We have your American Krispy Kreme here In the uk, and your mum is eating my favourite, yum yum enjoy xxxx

[bazooka111 in reply to Helen119]

She enjoyed this so much today! Mixed with laughter, perfect combination. Hope you're well. x

That's really tickled me, Kim. I've searched deep inside myself and I'm off to take action - I'm sure I've got some mini egg chocolate cakes in the cupboard. I won't be having anyone over for a cuppa anytime soon so I guess it's down to me to make sure they don't get stale. I, too, love a Krispy Creme but much messier than your mum appears to be when eating them - the evidence of the sugary icing would be all around my lips. Lovely to see the enjoyment on her face.

Love Hils

Now we understand that the poor downtrodden males in your family are only let out of the locked dark room to do all the work. The slaves will have their day, we will rebel.

I am the master in my own world and the old bag knows this.

Oh my. Love me a Krispie Kreme. Have you seen the recipe going around on FB that uses the donuts to make a peach cobbler? Looks absolutely sinful...yet scrumptious!

[bazooka111 in reply to Cinnylou]

What!!!!!! I WILL find it!!!!
