"Well, here's your problem!"

The Food that Built America will be discussing donuts tonight. Boy, does that explain a lot! One of America's major food groups.

It's on tonight, if you're interested.

I will try to watch, thanks, I had a Donut/pastry business years ago, sold 150 doz donuts a day and 3000 individually wrapped pastries a month no retail all to stores. I just make them now for fun for family and fundraisers for nonprofits.

Those look good! And the photo demonstrates the key to great donuts: plenty of oil and maintaining it at the right temperature! My housemates and I WAY back in college used to make donuts to break up the long study nights. Nothing quite as good as fresh warm donuts! It all started when a batch of milk went bad - one of the guys said we should make "sour milk donuts". Who would have thought!?

It's a good show.

There was a good one about the history of chocolate. Ghirardelli was famous for introducing dark chocolate to America but it was Hershey who figured out how to mix it with milk to create milk chocolate which made it more affordable. Both forms of chocolate were sold in small, thin sheets and they were was still somewhat expensive in that form. Once Mars developed the "real" candy bar with a filling as we know it, candy bars became an American staple.

I'll have to find that. With so many channels, it's not as easy as looking it up in the TV Guide.

Watched one yesterday about the two guys that started Subway. They retired as billionaires.
