We go to a diner in town on Sundays. it looks like a vintage diner with zinc edged counters and red vinyl seats, but it is actually a set built in 2003 for the HBO movie "Empire Falls"
Miss Critterpants has her favorite meal of hot dog and fries with a tall glass of milk. It is a weekly indulgence. Next week i hope to try a slice of pie, or maybe a doughnut. Maine has an obsession with homemade doughnuts. Our very generous neighbor will bring over dozens of doughnuts still warm from being fried in lard. oh they are good. Robert Kimber sings the praised of homemade donuts in his collection of essays "Upcountry"
"They are a touch of sweetness on a sour day, a bit of fat when times are lean."
i think it would be a good idea to have a plate homemade doughnuts in our kitchen next to the coffee pot and the tea. at all times.
