Never known any blueberry to have flavor.  That is why they are put in pies, muffins and pancakes! Things that require syrups & sugars to make them taste good!

We got some from Costco a month ago or so that were outstanding.
Went again, and typical no flavor.

I have had store bought blueberries and locally grown ones and  the local ones are fresher but never had them with out flavor.I am a room temp person when it comes to a lot of things. Berries, cheese, salamis or most lunch meats in general, oranges, peaches. The flavors just seem to be better room temp to me.

I completed another lap around the sun today! To celebrate my wife and I went to breakfast. I had steak and eggs. I am not sure why medium rare is so hard to cook, but that is another story for another time.

Since it was my birthday, they offered me a free doughnut. They are no ordinary doughnuts. The fritters and eclairs were already sold out. I ended up with a blueberry and Bavarian Cream doughnut with cream cheese frosting. It weighed 1.5 lbs. and was 7" around. We got six servings out of it. Who needs cake when you have a birthday doughnut!!

WOW!  My kind of doughnut.

Hope you had a good day.  Happy Birthday! 

[BigDave83]

Good choice on the doughnut.
 Happy Birthday.

All I can say is that is my kind of birthday dessert! Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday.
Indeed that is quite a doughnut!

Double wow on the donut

A bit of trivia...

I got curious about donut or doughnut and Googled it an found this:

"Donut is an alternate spelling of doughnut.
Some dictionaries point out that donut is rarely used outside the United States.
All of them recognize doughnut as the main spelling, as do some of the more popular style guides.
Doughnut might be the spelling you should use if you want to be sure you’re not making a mistake."

Thanks for the birthday well wishes. I celebrated  by registering for Medicare (so you should be able to figure out how many years), and sitting at the Secretary of State office waiting to buy license plate tabs. I guess I am officially old!

The history of the spelling is interesting. I usually use doughnut because I figure they are made from dough. On the other hand, when contemplating buying a fine pastry, why would I purchase something that says DO NOT?!

Might be my Finest bread pudding to date.  Cinnamon Rolls & Hot Cross Buns as the bread, with a touch of potato bread.  Feels like temperature of 101°, so done on the Memphis Pro. The Vanilla sauce will go on when both cool.

Might be my Finest bread pudding to date. 

I occasionally make banana bread pudding with Cinnamon, pecans, Rasins and bananas. I modified a recipe from Martha Stewart. I just use generic white bread.

Chocolate Fondant dessert at Steak and Company in London. It was our last night there.  It was the only dessert I ate on the entire trip and it was delicious.
