This morning I woke up at 3:00am and had trouble falling back to sleep.

While I was tossing and turning one of the bizarre thoughts that entered my mind was hoping I would find some of my family recipes that I’ve lost over the years. Two in particular came to mind – my grandma’s “Fudgies” and my Aunt Theona’s doughnuts. I had the recipes for many years on note cards I kept in a small green plastic container – which is nowhere to be found. I was really thinking this morning about Aunt Theona’s doughnuts. I wondered how many people in this world have probably never experienced the pleasure of eating a homemade doughnut. Doughnuts are so readily available and pretty cheap, why would you go to the trouble of making them at home? Once you’ve tasted one, you’d understand. My aunt’s doughnuts were so darn delicious!
The whole point of this story is – I was up at 3am thinking about how people don’t eat homemade doughnuts and then the wackiest thing happened when I opened today’s paper. Look at what was on the front page of today’s Orlando Sentinel:

You have got to admit this is WEIRD!!
Maybe now I’ll find that recipe. Really weird!
Gotta get the ball out of the water.
I can get to it this way.
I’m going in.
Got it!
Ah – Let’s do it again – about 30-times!
