Today, I will start with something that looks relatively innocuous.

Okay, maybe youre thinking, Whats the big deal Its bean spread.

Probably not the tastiest bean spread recipe youve ever seen: mashed lima beans with pickle relish and mayonnaise.

Have you looked at the last sentence, though Yes, it asks you to spread the beans on a halved donut And why would you do that Because this is a recipe from the Dazey Donut Factory Instruction and Recipe Book (1977).

Just as Wilton tries to convince cake makers that specialty pans work for any occasion and e arly microwave cookbooks suggested that the appliance could do anything, the Dazey Donut Factory makers wanted to work donuts into every place they possibly could.

I love the way this says most spreads could be used between the Corn Meal Donut halves as after-school snacks.

Spackle could be spread on the halves and fed to the kids too, I suppose, but that doesnt mean it would be a great idea.

Top em with creamed tuna or chipped beef, and youve got yourself a main dish Or make Mexican donuts.

The donuts in question are not traditional glazed or cake donuts, but (as you may have noticed) corn meal.

Of course, we cant make actual corn meal muffins because that wouldnt involve the new toy.

Okay, one last recipe that sounds a lot weirder before you know the trick.

Green onion and bacon donuts Serve with creamed ham, mushrooms, and a little speech about how youre really getting your moneys worth out of the Dazey Donut Factory, and your husband was so wrong when he said it was a waste of money and would just take up space in the basement and we didnt need it.

Why couldnt they just think of different types of donuts to make in the Dazey.

I mean really, there are different flavors, lol.Thank you so much for sharing, Poppy.

P.S. Will you be playing the Picnic Game this year Reply Delete Replies Reply Poppy Crocker June 21, 2014 at 12:12 PM I have to admit-- the picnic game is not really my thing-- scrambling for letters, and then the repetition.

If you have an unclaimed letter that you need someone to cover, though, let me know.

I have enough recipes that Im sure I could find something Reply Delete Replies Reply Add comment Load more.
