Jack’s Winning Words 6/7/19
“I like donut holes.  Whether you see the hole as a blank space or as an entity unto itself, it doesn’t affect the taste of the donut.”  (Haruki Murakami)  Today is one of my favorite days – Donut Day!  I really, really like Krispy Kremes.  June has many special days…D-Day, Flag Day, Father’s Day, the Summer Solstice.  Some “days” that make me smile are, Go Fishing Day, Monkey Around Day, Hug Your Cat Day…and my sister’s (Nancy) birthday.   ;-)  Jack

FROM BB IN CHGO:  When you next visit Chicago, give “Firecakes” a try.  They are even better than Krispy in my opinion and lots of crazy flavors like PB&J and Margarita.  Plain vanilla works for me===JACK:   I'm always willing to try a new donut.  Are you buying?===BB:   Absolutely – for you and your lady!  Perhaps you will come downtown and enjoy the architectural tour – the river boat cruise that shows the landmarks and explains the bridges.  Always an enlightening and interesting review of the history of Chicago===JACK:  Sounds like a winner for the Bucket List.  Her name is Joan.

FROM VW MARY:  Sounds like a good day.  Happy Friday:===JACK:   My mouth is watering already.  Will it be Bosko'a, Tim Horton's or Dunkin"?  (Finally went to Tim Horton's) ===VWM:  I was disappointed when we stopped having donuts for church coffee hour.....JACK:  One way to cure your disappointment is to bring a couple of dozen next Sunday and restart the tradition.

FROM FACEBOOK LIZ:  krispy kremes are the best, but we lost our store here... still in grocery stores, but not the same as hot!===JACK:  You're right!  Store-bought doesn't measure up...just like Whitey's ice cream.  Hand-dipped is the best.

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  Google says Krispy Kreme began in Winston Salem!===JACK:  The ad says, "Winston tastes good like a cigarette (or is it a Krispy Kreme?) should."===SHIRL:  Kristina kremes started in Tampa! Our girls used to sell them on weekends going door to door to raise money for their school or organization on Saturday mornings! Small world===JACK:  Do you remember the Mello-Creme Donuts in Moline?  Their glazed ones were GREAT!
