Long story. I will gladly forego several year's worth of British Open doughnuts in favor of a dinner of Blue Collar Joe doughnuts. Let's say...$50 worth.fooleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-20269889432868072092010-03-16T22:12:26.530-04:002010-03-16T22:12:26.530-04:00TSA-I'll do my best to have some here for Blog...TSA-I'll do my best to have some here for Blog Fest. The doughnuts, not the hotious.<br /><br />AM-SPR was a lot of fun.<br /><br />Stuffed- My life goal is to sample each and every flavor. <br /><br />PG-I'll bet you'd get lots of blogging fodder out of your efforts, too.<br /><br />CF-You are too funny.<br /><br />Jamie-We'll fix all that. If you happen to be in Deltaville sooner than Blog Fest, let me know and I'd be happy to show you around the beaches. But I will say, I'll give you a run for your money on the boxing out under the hoop. I mean hovering around the doughnut box.<br /><br />AHR-Saturday was so much fun, it was such a nice surprise to see Miss Pookie there on her birthday. I'll tell you what else I liked - the fact that you could sit down, talk, still hear the music and still hear the conversation going on around you. Having the lights on really made an impression with me. It's those little things that make it nice (esp for those of us overly sensitive to an assault on the senses). Thank YOU for all you do for me.<br /><br />Daryl-Sometimes Vietnamese, sometimes Thai places will have fresh spring rolls (not fried) with dipping sauce. If I had three thousand pounds of those, that'd be great. I'm sure that would travel easily in the back of MPM's car, no?<br /><br />NNG-We also support Urbanna, too!<br /><br />BHE-You and I played in a TOURNAMENT together back in the day before computers had even been invented yet. Can't believe my kinfolk were there Saturday night and I didn't get to meet them.<br /><br />Meg-If you bring those chips and salsa, I will box other people out so that you can run in for a layup I mean a doughnut free and clear. Whichever one you want.<br /><br />Trisha - It is, and this was the first I'd heard of it.<br /><br />MPM-They're going to be the official doughnuts of Blog Fest.<br /><br />Audrey-Your moon pies could have been the official desert last year. (Moon pies? They were called something else but memory is not working tonight. Or ever.)<br /><br />Jan-HELLO, Buenos Dias or buenos noches. Yep, that's me.<br /><br />Meg-I like the way you think. However, he's a ways away. Maybe you and I need to do a scouting trip down there one weekend. WE can make sure the doughnuts are fit for our blog fest guests. And we can practice our defensive moves while hovering over several dozen of them.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-45458828372965376632010-03-16T22:05:04.492-04:002010-03-16T22:05:04.492-04:00Let's take a tour of the donut-making place.

What a GREAT way to support our communities!<br /><br />One of my cousins told me yesterday that she and three other cousins were at The Reef Saturday night.

So I went into their store and pretended that I was going to buy a gun (you know, just to make them happy) but they weren't even nice to me! So I went to Walmart and bought some ice cream instead.Caution/Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172990197662644455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-50960011601300012092010-03-16T06:56:56.590-04:002010-03-16T06:56:56.590-04:00What a brilliant idea - hope it gets support.

Most of the local businesses around here have closed down over the years (ageing population, people moving into town, etc), but I try to use the ones that are left rather than going into town. I shall adopt this idea now, and make it less of "try" and more of "concerted effort".Pueblo girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904318623281033442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-40881289922162968912010-03-16T06:27:48.325-04:002010-03-16T06:27:48.325-04:00It was great article and many thanks to MM for the...It was great article and many thanks to MM for the doughnuts and the many pounds that they have added to my ass.
