Some of the recent search terms which have led people to my blog:

a comma runs through it; she died like a man
public domain apron sewing patterns
So… if your recent job search doesn’t pan out, Donut Fryer it is??? I saw a newspaper article that mentioned a particular donut shop that bought a Krispy Kreme donut maker at KK’s bankruptcy auction. Those are pretty cool machines. Ever seen ‘em? My kids would think you have the best job ever.
(Martin was quite distressed about Krispy Kreme going belly-up, but I told him that it was, to my understanding, just the franchising company in charge of the AZ stores that bit it.)
I’ve never seen a donut frying contraption up close! I imagine by the end of the day as a donut fryer, one’s face and arms would have a greasy sheen.
You’d think “donut fryer” would be an easy job, especially at Krispy Kreme where it’s all automated. But the two Js are in town and we went there last night (do you know already how JS feels about Krispy Kreme–fanatical)–and the fryer was having all sorts of problems.
As we watched, spellbound, from the viewing area, the machine turned out all sorts of misshapen, half-fried donut-abominations. Thankfully, we had already consumed our hot donuts by then. JS and I stared in helpless horror, while Dr. J immediately began diagnosing the problem like the donuts were patients of his. It must be that the dough is too sticky, he deduced. So perhaps an advanced degree in medicine is a useful qualification.
Donut diagnostics: Donut, look at this chart of smiley faces. Which one most closely represents how you feel? So, I see you are misshapen and half-cooked. When did this trouble begin? Has anything in your environment or activities changed recently? Now I am going to palpitate the doughy region. Tell me if you feel any pain. I note some excessive stickiness. Does stickiness run in your family?
Donut fryer? No, no, no my friend.
You should definitely go for dating coordinator. Do you coordinate other people’s dates? Or just your own? How do you think Gary would feel about that?
