The Hunt for Donuts

Next week when I see Poon (and I will see the real Dr Poon as I am going early to the clinic - he will be the doctor seeing patients that early) - we are continuing down to Toronto.  So that means I really can't pick up any 'supplies' for the following two weeks.  When I was down for my weigh in, I wanted to pick up some Lemon Donuts.  They are good and a nice treat.  Realized that wasn't going to work for my next appointment, and that I really wasn't going to buy anything that needed to be frozen.  It would all melt during the day down in Toronto.

Saturday morning was a beautiful day.  As we where having breakfast AJ and I talked about going somewhere.  We are usually at a loss as to where to go.  We decided to go see my mother.  Which.....surprise surprise - there is a Poon clinic in Pickering.  So I called to see if they had any Lemon Donuts.  See when I went to weigh in, the Thornhill clinic was out of Lemon Donuts.

(they look almost like that)

Wasn't that convenient?  Problem was, when I called, they were out of them too. On to plan B.  Still seeing mom, and also stopping at the Low Carb store in Markham.  Called them, and yes, they had them in stock.  Since they are frozen, and the store was open until 6pm. we went to see mom first, had a nice visit, Jax loves to run in the backyard, and thru her house looking for the cats   Drove to the store on the way back home.

We laughed about this epic quest for lemon donuts. as it was a memory of previous epic quests we've had in the past.  Like looking for soft ice cream, or taco bell.  Mostly junk foods.  Just like the donuts, in a way.  Or not.  Depends on how one looks at it.

The thing about the Low Carb store is that it has a few things that the ONS Poon store doesn't have.  I still have to be very careful in the choices as they also have things that are higher in carbs that Poon allows.  Still it's nice to be able to have a few different things.  Picked up some Flax Cranberry bagels - so very good.  I little bottle of White Chocolate syrup for coffee.  Also a hot chocolate drink - cocoa and stevia mix.  Liked that idea better then using Protein Shake for hot chocolate.  So into the bag that went too.  They had some Protein chips - thought that would be a nice change too.  Of course, I got the donuts.  Have enough mix of things for the rest of the month.  I gambled and got a few chocolates too.  Will have to see how THAT goes!
