I'm not practicing my toxicology presentation as I intended. I got absorbed into pony pedigree research again! Damn you internet!
Anyway, Joe and I finally reached a standing agreement that if he goes out in the morning before I get up (especially if its a school day), he is required to get me some doughnuts. (The amount still needs to be worked on. One or two, maybe three okay, a dozen is too many!) Joe just has this habit of staying up way to late and not being able to sleep OR he wakes up just as I go to bed (This is a Wednesday occurance mostly.) and then can't sleep/wakes up. Joe then goes out to get a soda, paper, cigarettes, drive around, whatever. And now he comes back with doughnuts and I win! And can forgive him for not walking the dogs.
So anyway, Saturday morning when I get up, Joe's been up, out and back to bed already. There's a note on the board for me. There's doughnuts on the stove. One of them is a bacon doughnut.
Now I know what you're thinking. But let me explain it to you. Its a long john type doughnut with maple frosting (yum!) then it has bacon on top. So the maple and bacon flavors really work together-all salty and sweet together. Its not just sprinkled on top either; its like the recently iced doughnut was pressed into bacon pieces. Its covered. The bacon isn't fresh fried bacon. Its the dried salad toppings, but not like Bacos or something. The different textures of chewy soft doughnut and chewy harder bacon works well together.
I tried this doughnut. (Joe had one on a test run the week before.) AND I LOVED IT! For all the taste and texture reasons mentioned above. I do love bacon. Who am I kidding? I love pork and all products made from pigs, including footballs and hair brushes. Well, not really footballs. I do love that pig ears keep my dogs entertained. And I love porkrinds. Well, not love. Its more of a like situation with them. I eat them on the way home from Joe town alot. Maybe its something (i.e. hog slaughter) in the air that makes me want them then. Riley likes those trips.
On two other notes-Roosevelt is a traitor. He's in Joe's bed right now because I'm not in mine. And I am in charge of refilling 'Grandpa's medicine cabinet' i.e. Joe's pill box. Joe wants to take so many supplements and won't do it if they are not right there in front of him. I bought one of those seven day pill strip box things mostly as a joke but now we fill it up and Joe tries to be more vigilant about taking things. If he doesn't do it before bed though, he ends up puking.
That's all! Have a great day tomorrow!
