Do you remember store window doughnut machine?

[LoboGunLeather]

Even better, I remember Mom making donuts at home. Raised bread dough, circle-shaped cutters, large cast iron skillet full of hot oil, then into a paper bag with a mix of sugar and cinnamon, shake them up and put them on a plate. Big glass of milk or a cup of coffee with fresh cream so thick it was served in a bowl with a spoon.

Probably explains why both my big brother and I became cops in the following years.

Tom Thumb mini donuts have been a staple at the local county fair for over 50 years. One of the reasons I still go.

As a kid Mom required us to bring her a bag of Tom Thumb donuts home after the trip to the county fair.

SS Kresge in Pontiac Mi had on of those doughnut machines back in the late 50s/ early 60s. My mother would seldom buy any but I was hypnotized by it.

Blacksburg VA had one of those donut machines,,
it was located in one of the storefronts closest to the Virginia Tech campus.
The store was called Carol Lee Donuts,, it was next to the theatre.

It took GREAT willpower for the 25,000 students not to buy EVERY donut made,,

We failed, and the store seldom had more than a few donuts in inventory.

The main thing that could get me past the store was the MR Fooz sub shop.

Back in the mid 1970's, MR Fooz sold a sub for ~$4.50 that was so big,,,
it seriously took two students to eat it,,

The car didn’t hurt his donut budget much

I remember them, I also remember making donuts in push carts on the side walks.

If it caught fire (as they were prone to do) he could use it to heat the doughnut grease.

Our local donut shop makes their own. Big plate glass window in front. Passing by most nights you can see the guy making donuts for the next day. Must work all night I guess.
