Stove Top Donuts

This is a rope that holds up one end of a porch-swing on the front porch of the Boon Fly Cafe in Napa Valley, California. The hardware was galvanized and stainless steel, the rope and string were marine grade and the swing itself was made from teakwood or something similar as I recall. High quality materials make for a long lasting apparatus or structure. I'm guessing that as a result of the discerning craftsman who hung this particular swing, that darn thing is still up there and performing admirably.

If you find yourself in the area consider stopping in. If you do, tell them that "that one guy from that one town in Arkansas" sent you. It could be just enough to get you a little extra chicken on your waffle or maybe a real good deal on a donut. I'd recommend the donut if you're given a choice. It's been reported that the chicken waffles are real good, but I have a personal policy to never get caught turning down a real good deal on a real good donut; especially when they're homemade. (You cain't go no better!)

I'll keep you posted on waffle and donut related business.....

NOTE: Grandma Keil used to make some awfully good donuts on the gas stove located appropriately in her kitchen. When you're a kid at your great-grandma's house, it's hard to do better than fresh and hot stovetop donuts and an ice cold "sodie" right out of the Ol' frigidaire!
