..pretty near the top of the list is Krispy Kreme. MMmmmmmm

Krispy Kream doughnuts are really good when they are hot. They almost melt in your mouth, but now they have been putting them in the grocery stores and when they are 8~12~24 hours old, they are heavy and way too sweet.

BTW, my fav doughnuts are from this little Polish bakery. Some grandma in the back whipping these little beasts together. Not sure what they are called, I just point, but they are to die for.

We have many things to thank our American cousins for, but pretty near the top of the list is Krispy Kreme. MMmmmmmm

As good as fresh Krispy Kremes are there are a whole host of local places that are soooo scrumdiddliumptious with their doughnuts

Well, rather than a jam filled doughnut, you'd get something that resembles either a Dosa, or a Samosa in Pune, or a chip buttie in Nuneaton

A few thoughts about Tiffany's post......

1. I hope she reconsiders, but I am in total sympathy to the feelings of being unwanted. There are times when TPBM draws into itself and becomes a very small community. That's okay; some of you have formed a very tight bond, and can't be expected to act differently. There are some of us who recognize that we simply don't have the ability to crack the inner circle, and we're fine with it.

2. To the best of my knowledge, there is only one person who posts here regularly who genuinely dislikes me. I once considered leaving the thread because of that individual, but ultimately decided that there are enough genuine friends here who would not understand that logic. So here I am, and so shall I remain. Hopefully someday this person and I will work out our differences, and things will be peachy again. In the meantime, we give each other lots of room, and try not to make things worse. I would hope FaFa and whomever could find it in their hearts to do the same.

3. This is the TPBM chat thread, but in reality, it is a safe haven for people who seemingly don't have a lot of interest in discussing photography to the excusion of everything else. I see people talking about all sorts of things: dogs, horses, illnesses, injuries, travel, social injustice, romance, divorce, grandchildren, food, movies, trains, and occasionally, photography. Subject to constraints on discussion that have been imposed by the forum, there are no limits on what we can talk about here. I suppose that leaves me a little puzzled about what constitutes unacceptable subject matter, and what doesn't, who makes that determination, and how do we enforce it?

Speaking only for myself, I have great affection for everyone here (yes, even 'that' person). I can't imagine a day without logging on and seeing what everyone is up to, what time Zane finally got to bed, what new toys Neil has purchased, Paris' newest outfit, the latest in apron fashions, Lisa's latest roasting experiments, remodeling projects, TR 'toons, and so forth. I also enjoyed Tiffany's contributions. Yes, she had a couple rough edges, but I believe she really tried to get along, and she's a very talented photographer. Like everyone else here, I consider her a friend, and her departure saddens me.

Beyond that, let's keep it light.

I like a good donut, but I really dislike Krispy Kreme, way too heavy and sweet for me.

Masala Dosa is my everyday breakfast in India.

IMHO a chain rarely can compete with a quality mom/dad and grandma/grandpa type bakery. The small place charges a lot more but they can take the time and pay attention to the details. SOme of the bakeries here are simply awesome. I frequent the mom.pop type bakeries whenever possible.

We use to have a Portuguese bakery here that had Malazadas, sort of a thin skinned doughnut, but different type of dough, more like an elephant ear. Anyway, they would stuff these with home made chocolate pudding..

*OMG... I'm drooling.. slurp*

Terri, all I can say is that you are more dear to me than words can say. I'm so glad we bumped into one another all those years ago, right in this very place.

Happy birthday m'friend.

Totally reciprocated! And someday, we will actually see each other in person again
