So Glad!!!

I am so glad I moved here to the ocean! I heard last night and today that the rest of western WA is sweltering! With temperatures in the 100 range. My stepfather was working at his job in Olympia (where I used to live) and he said everyone there was HOT!!! One person tried to find a fan and finally found one at Walgreens. Just ONE was left!!! Another worker could not find one at all. So ma offered to sell her old one to this worker. We don't need fans out here! Before I moved out here, I sold all my fans at a moving sale. I knew I would not need them. Sure enough, we haven't needed any fans since we moved here! I love it!! I hate heat, it always puts me in a rotten mood.

I had heard last night on the news that the temperatures were going to rise high in Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle, and I woke up saying "I am so GLAD I moved out here!!" However, I do feel for my pa, he's still living in Tacoma. But you know what? He's from the tropics, so he's used to heat. And Kathy his wife (my stepma) will not leave Tacoma. I'm the opposite. You couldn't pay me to live in Tacoma!! Been there, done that, didn't like it!! I hated the town, I hated the people, I hated the traffic. The only thing I loved about the place was this little doughnut shop that made such fantastic doughnuts it'd put Krispy Kreme to shame!! They had the most unique flavored doughnuts of anywhere in this state! They had orange-frosted, cherry-frosted and lemon-frosted. And their doughnuts were so crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, they melt in your mouth!! I never went there much, but every time I did it was a wonderful experience!! I still go there once in a while just to get doughnuts. I just go a lot less often than I did when I lived there and Olympia. In fact I think I've only been there twice since I moved here. But the first time was when we had that power outage and I was staying with ma when she lived in Olympia. I only made the trip out there once just for the doughnuts. I'm going to try and replicate their recipe here at home, and when I get it perfect, I'm going to market those out here!! The only doughnuts we have out here are sold at the local grocery store, and they are not that great!

Speaking of which, when I had my MSN blog, I used to have "Cooking With Timmy's Girl". I've been thinking of trying that again, with a seperate blog, and post up some of my favorite recipes. I'm a pretty darn good cook. And I love to bake. Who knows?
