This morning, instead of leisurely eating breakfast at home Hubby Tony and I showered and quickly got ready to leave. At the last minute we decided to divide up a container of blackberries, which we ate on our way to the car. (We also brought our cups of coffee.)
The ice cream store was a ten-minute drive from the condo. When we got close, Tony noticed there were a lot of cars on the street. Then we noticed that the line to get into the shop wrapped around the block. Neither one of us wanted to wait that long, so we kept going. While we drove we tried to think of other places that might be celebrating the holiday, but came up short. The best we could do was substitute donuts.
At Strange Donuts we chose three- a Ding Dong, a Fat Elvis (with banana filling and peanut butter frosting), and a King Cake cinnamon roll. We walked to a nearby park to eat them. Thank goodness we had coffee!

they look good, perfect with coffee!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion you MUST have coffee to go with donuts.
DeleteDarn. I would prefer ice cream.
ReplyDeleteThey were very good donuts, but I would too.
DeleteWow those donuts look pretty and tasty.
ReplyDeleteThey were :-)
DeleteLove a good donut! Glad you were able to eat something delicious without the long line
ReplyDeleteMe too. I already have a plan for the 'holiday' next year that doesn't involve going to that ice cream parlor.
DeleteInteresting donuts, to be sure! I used to like donuts... now the sugar is too much for my liking and we don't do sugar anymore. I like frozen yogurt in place of ice cream, vanilla!! Blessings to you! ♥
ReplyDeleteThe donuts went down quite smoothly, and I could feel the sugar kicking in almost immediately. Then a couple of hours came the energy crash :-)
DeleteIt was worth it, though.
