Tomorrow night I'll be on one of the longer non-stop "domestic" flights this country has to offer . . . HNL --> EWR. While assembling some onboard reading material, I came across this in Motor Trend and knew it would strike a chord with some of you.

March 2009: boob tubes

Let me tell you: Nothing makes me appreciate the modern car more than a long flight in a packed aluminum tube seated next to a guy scratching his navel through the hole in the jelly donut balanced on his belly.

If you enter Honolulu HI to Newark NJ on Google maps instruction 15 is "Kayak across the Pacific"

Of course, I'm the guy with the jelly donut . . .

You gonna smuggle me some of those Okinawan potatoes?

If I was heading for the "land o' lakes" I might find a way to stash some in jacket pocket, but those ag inspectors here are on the lookout.

Apparently, they are available in major markets . . . food blogs around the country talk about them.
