So good I eat them plain, and I have long felt that half the point of donuts was coatings, glazings and toppings.
Interesting... I've always preferred plain donuts, or filled donuts with nothing on top. I also like un-frosted/iced/glazed cake... maybe I'm just weird? |

I've got some Top Pots here. Their Old Fashioneds are very nearly to die for. So good I eat them plain, and I have long felt that half the point of donuts was coatings, glazings and toppings. Also they have raspberry-glazed chocolate cake, and raspberry and chocolate never fails to delight me. (And their chocolate frosted with sprinkles often have other colors than rainbow. They change them for different occasions, including local team colors on game days. So, y'know, you can still have chocolate frosted with sprinkles without it being The Donut.)
Oh dear ghods, Top Pot doughnuts. *whimper* Every once in a while when I'm over there, I cruise by on 5th, and if there's a parking space within a couple of blocks... The... old fashioned blueberry, is it? and just the plain old fashioned, which have always been my favorites. *leans back to keep from salivating onto the keyboard* |

Yeah, the apple fritter I ate on my way to the bank and the co-op is dedicated to this forum. (They were out of old fashioned Top Pot donuts.)

an old fashioned please, or maybe one of those chocolate cake with raspberry ones? failing either of those a nice fresh from the fryer plain krispy kreme would not go amiss.

Dude, I am SO disappointed in the Krispy Kremes out here. They bake once, in the morning. If I go by when I get up, if they're even open, the donuts are cold and stale.  Boo! Hiss! |

krispy kremes are pretty much inedible if not still warm from the fryer, it's true. they (like so many other regional delicacies) lost a lot when they went national mass market.

I dunno where the "burned too badly for DNA comparison" thing is coming from. According to the forensics, that was Hope's body.
Sorry, sense of humor - I don't recall seeing confirmation that it was indeed her DNA. Though I guess we could assume that if it hadn't been that would have been brought up. episode <i><b>Spell 81a</b></i>, specifically: "Chaz accepted it and began scanning the printouts inside, a pattern already building its three-dimensional structure in his mind as he flipped pages and memorized images, correlating, contrasting. "These are DNA sequences." Reyes said, "Everyone in Idlewood, except Susannah Greenwood. Every dead gamma Frost has retained samples from." He hesitated. "Hafidha Gates. You." Chaz had known it was coming, and so he managed to keep the shock of rage and fear from registering on his face or snapping the mirror up around him. The cards were only identified by code numbers, but he'd just spotted a closely repeating pattern to two of them. One was familiar, part of an autopsy report he'd once studied exhaustively. And that part of the code number must indicate the age of the subject, which meant the lower sequence was... "This one," he said, and handed Reyes his card. Reyes glanced at the code string and nodded. "How did you know?" Chaz handed him the second one, the similar one. He made his voice crisp and professional. "Because that one's William Villette. Which one's Hope Mitchell?" Silently, Reyes indicated the card. "You're seeing it."" although it is never really made clear where the initial sample to compare against the forensic sample came from. |

From her house, I'd guess. Hairbrush, toothbrush, check her pillow for eyelashes, trash cans and eating utensils and so on. Alternatively, there might still be something on file for her from that psych institution or anywhere she'd had any kind of medical care. |

Is there a picture of the Button/Jacob's Ladder online anywhere?
There is, both stills and video! Here is the construction blog and some photos taken in our garage: http://www.attoparsec.com/a-ladder.htmlOh, my, that's awesome. |

Nor do we know that that sample they have was acquired post-mortem. This is an annoying artifact of how I file information* - when the decapitated and burnt probably-Hope was first found, we didn't have DNA confirmation that it was her. So there was a thread hanging, and it was never explicitly resolved. Mind you, revisiting it, it's pretty obvious that since they were expecting the data back soon, and "it's Hope" is the default condition, it would almost certainly have been mentioned if it were not Hope. It's not a totally insane strategy if you're tracking scientific experiments (or if you kind of expect people around you to lie by implication or omission a lot) but I don't know if I'd call it generally adaptive. * And this is when there actually is an index. It really explained a lot about my information retrieval process when I realized that while I do build indexes fairly well, I don't always build them, certainly not for everything. And if it's not indexed, I can usually find it, but... guhh. It's like finding something in a room full of piles, and piles of articles. (Kind of like my advisor's office.) I mean, once you think about it you can figure out what stack it's in, and maybe kind of how deep, but it's not just there and fast and shiny. Life is hard, I want a lollipop. |

Thing is, they haven't changed the recipe, they've only changed the schedule. They could do it right, but because before Seattle got a KK, they used to ship them in, the people here are accustomed to stale KKs, so they can get away with the crappy schedule. |

The Issaquah KK used to make them throughout the day - and everyone in line would get one, hot. No clue if thats still going on - probably haven't been there in ten years. I never got the Krispy Kreme thing. I prefer cake style donuts, I guess. |

Krispy Kremes are pretty much inedible, period, but I will acknowledge that that may just be me. I'm more of a bagel sort of guy anyway. |
