“With a doughnut in each hand, anything is possible.”
When I woke up, it was sunny. Right now it is cloudy, and it’s getting dark. Rain is predicted. Yesterday I filled my trunk with bags of newspapers and catalogs to recycle then I filled my backseat with cardboard boxes. The trash is not loaded yet. One bag is in the kitchen and the other is upstairs in the cats’ room. I’m thinking today is a great dump day. It won’t be too busy given the weather and all, and I’ll have a carful of trash. When I’m done, I’ll give myself a well-earned reward for emptying my car. I’ll stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts conveniently placed on my route home. I’ve earned my favorite, a Boston Kreme Pie donut. My second favorite is butternut, but they go fast. You’d think they’d make more.
When I was a kid, donuts on Sunday were a weekly treat. My father was an usher at an early mass, and he usually stopped for donuts on his way home. Most of the donuts he chose were plain. That’s what he ate, a plain donut slathered with butter.
Yesterday I went hunting through DoorDash to see if any new places had been added. I noticed the Island Cafe and Grill so I checked out their menu. I couldn’t order fast enough when I saw curried goat with steamed rice, vegetables and plantain. While I was waiting, the restaurant called and said there was a delay and did I want anything else. I said I’d wait. Of course, I’d wait. After it came, I called Bill and Peg, and they both sort of moaned. They were decidedly jealous. Last time they were here visiting we did Karoo’s, the South African restaurant, and when they visit again, we’ll get goat and plantain, a meal harkening back to Ghana. I love plantain, and there are two right now ripening in the kitchen. Where do I find goat?

Hi Kat,
Donuts are one of my favorite foods. Before the pandemic every Friday morning one of the managers at work would bring boxes of glazed and chocolate covered donuts. I always ate at least two of each kind. 🙂 A Boston Kareme Pie donout sounds wonderful. I love Boston Cream Pies when I can find them. As you know I’m a chocoholic.
Today, the temperature hit the century mark for the first time this summer. It’s also humid making it feel even worse. Because of the Governor’s edict to only have 10 people in a group we are going to watch the fireworks on TV. The city of Dallas cancelled their fireworks display weeks ago. Dallas county hit a new high of Covid-18 with 1,000 new cases.
Every Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, the town of Addison Texas puts on a huge fireworks display, they call Kamoom Town. Before the fireworks there’s a display of WWII airplanes that flyby the town which surrounds the airport. Addison Airport is the homemof the Cavanaugh Flight museum.

This museum is unique because all the airplanes on display are flyable. They usually fly several formations of C-47s, P-51 Mustangs, B-17 and B-25 Bombers. There’s no sound like that made by radial piston engine airplane flying overhead. And a formation of them makes a fabulous sound. Happy Independence Day!

Hi Bob,
The Boston Kream donut is amazing. The filling is the custard and the top is covered in chocolate. It is just like the pie. They are the favorite donut at Dunkin’.
I have been watching the rising numbers of people with covid 19 in the south and the west. I just hope we can hang in here.
Today stayed cool. It was in the low 70’s, and it will get even cooler tonight. We will get rain next week. The weather looks like we’ll have 70’s most of the week.
Those are cool planes. I’d love to see them fly, but, even more, I’d love a ride in a bi-plane. A restored WWII plane was in Hyannis a long time back. I went and toured it. They said those guys nearly froze to death.
