Come on guys, background blur is called background blur. Bokeh is just a way to quantify the blur. You want that nice creamy, buttery bokeh and avoid things like the doughnut hole bokeh. However, I love doughnut holes. The doughnut shop we visit from time to tome always gives us a big bag of them along with our sausage kolaches.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

You know, like time for a large, heavy, scholarly book.

... I love doughnut holes...

This reminds of something I'll share with you...
We get free coffee at work. And every Friday, we get donuts!
Someone brought in a bottle of Vanilla syrup for coffee.
Recently, I microwaved a donut just enough to get it warm and poured a little of the syrup over it.
MAN, what gooey goodness it became! Surprisingly, not too sweet, either.
Fridays are now even better. This is going to be my new Friday routine.


It's my life and I'll get pissed if I want to.

Isn't that a soap opera?
I pictured JJ lounging on his couch, eating donuts, getting powdered sugar all over his swollen and bare stomach while watching Time To Tome.
To erase that image, I then immediately watched a favorite movie they will not show on television.

That would be eating doughnut holes and kolaches.

Come on, they are crunchy. Dip them in a little sriracha and they are crunchy and spicy.

You are making me want to give up on this diet. I'm already stalled. 1000 to 1200 calories a day and I've only lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. And that 2 pounds even fluctuates. It's amazing to go from a 2800+ calorie intake which was keeping my weight mostly steady to a 1800 calorie deficit and be stalled. Something doesn't add up.

Calories only works for so long. Activity works better. Start weight lifting, build up some muscle mass. But if you are really serious about loosing some weight fast, a chainsaw is good for 30~60 pounds. :twisted::twisted::-)

A pizza and a bag of chips with sour cream and onion dip with some Knob Creek bourbon sounds more fun!

A nice storm last night. 70 mph gusts blew these trees over at a church across the street.
My back yard and pool are trashed. One of our mesquites almost got uprooted, but stayed put. Barely. Luckily, I had pruned it last week.
