Behold the Krispy Kreme Doughnut

Yesterday I had the privilege of going to Krispy Kreme. I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They make me very, very happy. In my previous blogging life, I put a post up about my love for the Krispy Kreme. And when Heathahleewas recently telling Missyabout my previous blog while we were in Nashville, it is the one post she mentioned to Missy. She didn't mention my very sentimental post about my Dad or something else of great meaning and worth, she mentioned my post on Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Heathahlee must love them, too. I love them so much that I feel they are worth another post.

Because Krispy Kreme is about 35+ minutes from my house, I don't go often. Plus, it's in a bad neighborhood. Plus, I joined Weight Watchers back in the fall. But yesterday, I was taken to the area where the Krispy Kreme bakery is located. Our accountant's office is less than 5 minutes from Krispy Kreme, and I had to run by and drop some stuff off to our accountant, so my car mysteriously pulled into the Krispy Kreme before going to see Deb, our accountant. Everyone enjoys it when I go, because I get doughnuts for everyone. I take them to Deb, I take them back to the office, and I bring some home for friends and family. I like to share the love that way. Again, it's been a looooong time since I've visited Krispy. I told Deb a few weeks ago when it was mentioned I had not brought Krispies in a while that when I joined Weight Watchers, everybody else joined Weight Watchers with me. Being that I'm down to my goal weight, I decided yesterday to splurge. And splurge I did. I ate two lovely, beautiful, melt-in-your-mouth, delectable doughnuts. I could not have enjoyed them more. Deb was so happy to see me walk in her office with that Krispy Kreme box that she was shoeing other clients out the door. Well, not really, but I think she wanted to. And her eyes did light up, real bright, at the sight of that pretty green and white box.

When you eat Krispy Kreme, you MUST go to a bakery or store. The ones they sell in the grocery store will not do. I never ever buy those. Never. And don't go for the fancy schmancy ones. Just get the basic glazed and chocolate. They are the best ever. Although my Mom loves the sour cream ones, and they are pretty good. But still, I prefer the basics. Look at them. Aren't they lovely?
Look at Moose enjoying them. He almost looks giddy...

One more shot of them before I go. They are worthy of one more look. Until we meet again...

Behold the Bean

This is a re-post of a post from my former blogging days. I'll re-post some other things from those days later on. Anyway, I love beans. In particular, I love black beans. Love them. This is very frugal as it was a recipe by Joni McCoy of Miserly Moms that I tweaked a bit to fit my palate:

Black Beans & Rice
2 cans black beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 large diced onion
1/2 T. minced garlic
1 T. oregano
1 cup of chicken stock

Mix all the above and cook in crock pot for at least 6 hours. With a slotted spoon, serve up some of those beans over rice. Especially yummy if you top with a little cheese, a little sour cream, and homemade or fresh salsa.
