Black Friday is the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. When are you planning on beginning your holiday shopping?

I stay away from the "holiday shopping" mania until AFTER Thanksgiving.  I don't like the fact that the greedy retailers bombard us yearly with early holiday shopping.  I saw Christmas decorations in September and nearly walked out of the store in protest.  Especially in these times when people are scraping by just to get their families fed, it really irks and offends me to see so many frivilous ads around jewelry and cars. 

I will do my Christmas shopping sometime the week after Thanksgiving.  I don't believe in "Black Friday" sales only because all the hype and hassle of the mob are just not worth it to me.  Anyone ever try to find parking ANYWHERE on Black Friday?  Yea, good luck with that.

You have four unexpected guests showing up for dinner in less than an hour, you haven't been to the store in days, and you want to impress them with a delicious meal. What do you serve them?

A bunch of Double-Doubles from In-N-Out which is just a stone's throw away from my house!

If you had to give up one of your favorite foods, which one would it be?

Perish the thought!

If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

Are you kidding?  Maraschino Cherry is AWESOME!!

What part of your childhood do you miss the most?

The part where I don't have to worry about making any mortgage payments, car payments, credit card payments, utilities payments, gas payments or working!

What is your personal motto?

Not the most original, but effective, nevertheless:  Honesty is the best policy.

What's your favorite type of donut?
Submitted by tomatshonino.

I don't think I've ever met a donut I didn't like.   However, when it comes to favorites, I have 2 (naturally).  The first would be the "tiger tail."  For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a twist made with plain and chocolate batters.  The best of both worlds, if you ask me.  The other favorite of mine is the bavarian-filled.  It's a hole-less donut topped with a layer of chocolate, filled with bavarian cream.  MMMmmmmmm.  I could talk about donuts all day (and eat them too, unfortunately).  I found the following photos from my favorite donut haunt The Donut Man off of Route 66.  Yea, it's a hike, but fortunately, it's just a couple miles from my parents' house.  Incentive to visit more often, indeed!

P.S.

Donut Man, you owe me for the shout-out!
