The terminally constipated patients? Insane! Thanks for the laugh. So what, I’m supposed to suggest the multigrain donuts to my diabetic patients?! The terminally constipated patients? Insane!

There is one in Pelham where you can go in and sit down and each booth has a phone to call in your order. There is also a drive up service (I think it used to be a A & W). Go figure. No more Kentucky Fried Chicken -- just KFCs and now DQ Restaurants. As long as the DQ keeps the Peanut Buster Parfait on the menu I'm good!

Yeah, who’da thunk it?

DH will be thrilled! B, Dairy Queen has seen a resurgence in Birmingham lately; there's even an upscale one in Liberty Park. Maybe you'll get a new one soon. Chili cheese dog and butterfinger blizzard -- breakfast of champions. :) Del, we have a Krispy Kreme about two miles from our house. I'd be in trouble if there was one in walking distance, although I could pretend to burn off the calories by hoofing it back and forth. Andre, I added a link. DH will be thrilled!

I meant the less than/ greater than signs. I think that's what they're called, but maybe only the little hat sign (the one above the 6) is a caret. Oh well. Just the name Butter Brickle sounds wonderful. I love all those burnt-sugary flavors--when my mother-in-law sends her Christmas pralines, I hide them so I can eat them all. Kathy, a single KK donut has twelve grams of fat. Twelve. About as much as a tablespoon of butter. But you can't dunk butter in your coffee and then let it practically melt in your mouth, can you. Did I mention our house is less than half a mile from one of the Mobile "bakeries," that is to say fryeries? The Hot Light is almost always "on."

They keep showing me ads that make my mouth water but I'd have to drive for an hour to find what tempted me. UNFAIR. Thank goodness for KK or none of my fat laden cravings would be satisfied.

I have no idea whether a carat is something to eat or to wear on your finger. Now, I'll copy here what I tried to post and hope for the best: "If I could just get some Kay's Butter Brickle from Chattanooga that tastes like it did when I was growing up there I'd have to forget about my diet." This time I left out some thingys that I know not the name of which pointed back to "Brickle" and asked if it was spelled correctly. Del, I admit my technical inferiority.

Or marginally less unhealthy. Also pointless. :) I suppose deep-fried, sugar-coated multigrain flour would be marginally healthier than deep-fried, sugar-coated white flour.
