I had a little cell phone adventure during the past few days. I ordered on-line and quickly received the Droid X, which is supposed to out-iPhone the iPhone. But after using it for a few days, I found that it didn't even live up to my iTouch. First, I discovered that a lot of my favorite apps were not available in the Android Store. Then I could not get my bluetooth headset to pair up with the phone. The camera was quirky to use and took just so-so pictures. The e-mail alerts lagged up to fifteen minutes (if they sounded at all.) But the worst thing was that the battery would quickly drain even when the phone was not in use. "Feh!", said I, and I returned the contraption to a Verizon store yesterday.

TOD: When I was in college at the University of Kentucky, there was an all-night doughnut shop less than a mile from campus called Tastee-O's. We'd walk there late at night to get fresh doughnuts. There was also a great doughnut shop, alas no more, in a mini-mall on Franklin right before the Hollywood freeway entrance at Argyle that served best apple fritters.

I am looking forward to OUTSOURCED, too.

Happiest of birthdays to Hisaka and thank you to DR Charles Pogue for the lovely photos!

TOD - doughnuts are not on my current diet, but if when I fall off the wagon it will be with a fried Danish from Central Pastry.

Dear DR Elmore, I am very honored that you thought of me when you heard "stingy bastard."

I think.

I don't eat donuts very often, but I sure do like Krispy Kreme donuts when I do treat myself to one.

DR Laura, last night while I was watching SOUTH PACIFIC, every time Bloody Mary yelled "stingy bastard!" I thought of you. You should have auditioned to be her standby.

I did too! LOL!

Did she say "chinchy bassa?"

On Saturday, I bought three jelly doughnuts at Miss Donuts and brought them home on the plane to DR Sandra. It's a tradition.

She was at the door waiting for me to come home.

TOD: The best donut I ever had was one freshly made at a donut cart at the London Zoo. The only thing close to it I've had since is a hot Krispy Kreme. Those are my favorites, but only if they're hot. And I haven't had one in many months.

When DR Jose is here, he has requested a trip to Sublime Donuts, so I imagine I'll have one while I'm there:

I'm up and it's quite pretty out - don't know if we're going back to the heat wave until I go do my jog.

G'day, everybody!

TOD: I'm not at all a donut snob. Throw a stale Entemann's in front of me, and I'm happy as a clam. That being said, my favorite donuts are probably the custard-filled sufganiyot that flood the Israeli marketplace during Chanukkah.

Those who've read the Kritzer books know what my first donuts were and know that the taste and smell of them are etched in my memory forever - Helm's from the Helms truck, delivered fresh every day to one's neighborhood. You'd hear the whistle, run outside, and there they would be in drawers, waiting for you to purchase. The best chocolate and glazed donuts ever.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #49 on:** August 30, 2010, 09:38:10 AM »

I'm getting hungry for a donut now!

As for the Topic of the Day...

My first doughnut was most likely a Dunkin' Donut or a Krispy Kreme that was served in the parish hall after Sunday Mass; either a glazed or a powdered sugar one.

My current favorite doughnuts come from Doughnut Plant - which some DRs may remember from the HHW Eating and Walking and Eating and Walking Tour. One of their current selections is a Blueberry Cake Doughnut with a Blueberry Glaze. YUM!!!

Actually, no one makes my favorite donut--a Dunkin Donuts cream-filled type donut but instead stuffed with ice cream.

It's probably out there, somewhere...

Well...

At the Peter Pan Bakery in Brooklyn you can get a Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich.

Oh, and half of the household is awake. Me and one dog. DP and the other dog are still asleep. I think we are going to Target today and I guess I should figure out what I want to do this year in the classroom. I'm hoping to change my routine a little, we'll see what happens.
