awesome ten hour drive down there just wasn't what we had been hoping for so our plan was to try and increase the amount of time spent locked in a small car in the middle of the desert by at least a few hours. Mission accomplished! Twelve and a half hours later we rolled into Hurricane, just as hot as our vacation spot. There are two things that kept us sane through this drive and here they are in no particular order of importance.The first is completely self explanatory.
The second thing is we finally found the elusive Hostess Raspberry Filled Donuts.
Now this was no small task, we had gone a whole week without spotting one anywhere. I honestly think California has some sick ban on this delicacy. We looked in every store from Wal-Mart to Albertsons to the lowly gas stations, nobody carried these donuts. How can a state such as California not carry something like that? Because they are crazy that's how. They don't have these or fry sauce, no wonder we see so many driving towards our state from there. Those two food items are second and third possibly to the most important food ever invented.
I am thoroughly convinced that the food in heaven will consist of McDonald's Cheeseburgers. My wife and others are not so convinced but you will see when you get there, and you'll thank me for the suggestion. That would have to be what they eat up there, how could it not. Just go try one again and you will be convinced as well, just wash it down with a box of donuts and a diet coke. Enjoy!
Derek that is so gross! I was with ya until number 3. You just had to ruin it with THAT.
ReplyDeletei can see i'm going to have to spend more time with these cheeseburgers. thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeletei'm glad you had fun on your vacation that looked exactly like home! awesome! next time you'd better stick with Disneyland with the Burdette's.
I really almost just threw up a little with that last picture. Don't you know that McDonlad's makes crap food because they know that their toys are good enough to make every kid whine to go there (which in turn makes parents automatically go there). They don't need food quality, they have the power of screaming children behind them to get customers there.
ReplyDeleteWow, I must say I totally agree! Raspberry filled donuts are simple a delicasy! I love them! When I was pregnant with Leighna I think I ate a box a day. Jon was lucky if I saved him one! And the McDonalds cheese burger. If and when I eat at McDonalds there is nothing but the cheese burger! It's the best thing they have!!!
ReplyDeleteRasberry donuts are incredibly yummy. In fact on some pacific islands rasberry filled donuts are used to barter for a wife. the woman of the island gather to brag " my husband payed three dozen rasberry filled donuts for me." " Oh thats nice my husband payed four dozen and two Mcdonald cheeseburgers." and so it goes all day long.
ReplyDeleteI agree full-heatedly about the frysauce...and it's amazing to me that Utah is the only state that has caught on to it's delights. But as far as the donuts...I haven't had one in a long time (I always go for the chocolate donuts) so I have no opinion on that. But McDonald's cheeseburgers...honestly?? I would choose a Whopper from Burger King over that anyday! I will say, however, that McDonald's make the best fries, BUT they don't have frysauce...(alas...)I wonder what Mickey D's fries would be like with frysauce.) You got me thinking.:)
ReplyDeleteHate to rain on everyone's parade but there will be no food in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI just have to say: Don't listen to Kevin Farnsworth. I happen to know he's on crack. The raspberry filled donuts will DEFINATELY be there!
ReplyDeleteWhat I really came to say and forgot to say 'cause I was slashing Kevin's character at the time is this: In my poop story, I knew you of all people would appreciate all the poop! So you're welcome.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm not alone in taking great joy and pleasure in the fact that we will all be able to point and laugh at Kevin when he's crying in the corner up there while we are enjoying burgers and fries with fry sauce with our faces covered in white powdery goodness. Oh well he's a party pooper, you have to have one in the bunch right? And I know a great person you can talk to since Marie outed your crack habit!
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is Marie provides the crack, who's worse off? And Marie, where you are going, there will be endless poop, everywhere!
ReplyDeleteChef, I'm proud of you for managing to include the word poop in your comment.
