What's For Breakfast...

I had never seen one before. I stopped in at the 7-11, looked in the donut case, and there it was. The filling was a slightly salty, peanut butter cream, the top had the normal chocolate glaze, and there was a nutter butter decoration. How could I resist?

I will be hitting my local 7-11 tomorrow to see if they carry them - I've notice not all 7-11's are the same.

I hope they have it for you!

Did they have it?

Did they have it?

I went Tuesday around lunch to the closest-to-me 7-11, but it didn't have it and it was too busy with lunch biz for me to be "that guy" that asks annoying questions to a hassled staff.

So, my plan now is to go out early the next morning I'm not stuck in front of a computer screen for work and have some real time to search as there are four 7-11s within walking distance, so hopefully, one will have it.

However, while at the 7-11 on Tuesday, I did get one of my favorite packaged chocolate chip cookies:

So it wasn't a complete loss.

I've always wondered if there are other adults out there in the world who eat like I do - nice to know there's at least one.

If I can, plan to break away later this morning in search of the elusive Nutter Butter Long John - just need the markets to cooperate.

Okay, so after a failed effort to find one on Tuesday and a busy week preventing my second attempt, I made it out to a 7-11 late this morning and found the last two Nutter Butter long johns in the case (score!). You've never seen a skinny man open a plastic bag (those suckers are hard to open as the two sides seem united in some atomic bond), grab a wax sheet and deposit two doughnuts in a bag faster.

But it was worth it to get these:


The good:

• The visual - who doesn't want a doughnut with chocolate icing and a Nutter Butter on it?
• The Nutter Butter cream filling was the best - salty and peanut buttery
• While a bit soggy from its chocolate-icing bath, the Nutter Butter cookie was an enjoyable lagniappe

The not as good:

• The doughnut itself was heavy, not light and airy or even store-bought okay; it was heavy and dense.
• The Nutter Butter cream filling to doughnut ratio was too low / it needed more filling!

In sum, I'm a fan, but not buying season tickets. I'll have it again.

Vera - thank you for pointing it out, half the fun was hunting it down and talking about it with you guys.

Postscript: As I was putting one of the doughnuts on a plate, my girlfriend walked in, looked at it, looked at me, shook her head (in that how-is-this-my-life look that I'm quite familiar with) and with her eyes only asked, "what's that about?" When I told her its Fedora Lounge origin story, she remained unimpressed, but did toss this out as she left the room: "if it's any good, save me a bite."

Yay! So glad you were able to snag some!

Much like you, I wouldn't say no to eating it again, but I'm not going out of my to find it, either. But it was fun to try!

“Turkey bacon” is like “vegetable salmon” or “non-alcoholic vodka”. It doesn’t even make sense.

It is not Bacon, but it tastes pretty good.

Bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast followed by what was left of the Bacon.

Just checking - no chance you were adopted and that what you know of your birth parents are that they were from NJ, the man was physically big and tall - and was cranky (pretty much all the time) - and the woman was petite and hated cooking. I'm just thinking we might be siblings separated at birth.

lol! Well, my mom *is* from NJ, but she grew up in New York. We can still be siblings separated at birth though. ha!

Cheesy garlic bread!

Youngest had a friend spend the night, so I stopped and got Krispy Kreme.

Was running too late this morning to go early service at church, so I stopped at Panera and got a quiche. It was okay.
