Luee
We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

TAKE A BREAK, GRAB A DONUT


Good Morning Guys and Dolls:

Today we celebrate “National Cream-Filled Donut Day.” That’s right Speakies get out there, leave your desks or whatever you are doing, rush down to your local bakery (I wish we had one of those here) or hit those Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme joints and grab some cream filled donuts and a cup of coffee. Now I prefer the white cream not the custard cream in a donut. Back in my home town there was a small bakery that made a tube shaped donut filled with white cream. They called them finger cakes and they were covered with powdered sugar, HMMMM SO GOOD. I use to run down there on Saturday mornings and pick them up for my mom along with other goodies one can only dream of now. There was even a little Jewish deli that carried fresh donuts and rolls on Sunday morning’s right after church I’d run in there and pick out a donut or a fresh hard round roll to have with a cup of coffee.

I’m not eating donuts that much now a days but the thoughts bring back the smell and taste that I remember so well. So for the rest of you Speakies get out there and get those donuts.

I’m going to try and mention some commercials this week that I can’t stand and some that I like. If you are reading my blog tell me your most hated and liked commercials. Here are a few of my favorites, the two birds watching people bang into glass doors and laughing, their laugh brings a chuckle to me. Another favorite is an oldie about the wife showing off her closet to her friends and her husband with the beer closet, that one is a riot with all that screaming. The mop commercial has to go no more Baby Come Back, its Baby Be Gone Forever. Hate that little Zoom Zoom Kid too. I’ll be back with more later this week. So for now enjoy donuts and have a great day.

The Geico ads are often pretty funny. They will start out crass or out of context and take a funny turn.

Did the little piggie cry all the way home?

When the pig deadpans .. "Oh, thanks Mrs. A" .. well that cracks me up.

The Servus Bakery for the sweets indeed. They were such nice folks. My bedroom almost overlooked the back of the bakery and if you woke up at like three in the morning in the summer the smell of baking bread was so soothing.

Lisook's had that window filled with rolls on Sunday. Crescent, torpedo, onion and round along with egg bagels. Get a big brown bag and get in line when church let out.

Eagle on Saturday morning for Corn Rye! Still hot and mom only liked the order one way "light, medium and not sliced". It was a long six block run home with that bag but it was still warm and was a stand alone meal.

Servus Bakery was great. There was another great bakery in South Trenton called Paramount, use to go there for granny.

I'd like to turn that Pig into some pulled pork. Thanks for the comments Skip.

Mack: Colonial Bakery had great little dinner rolls. After the Thanksgiving dinner, we use to make a turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce sandwich and watch TV.
