We had been cruising the very pretty town of Natchez looking for a specific bakery that wound up being closed when Mary spotted a ramshackle drive-thru donut shop (three of our favorite things!) and Rick proved his “Dukes of Hazzard” driving skills by turning on a dime even without the aid of a confederate flag painted on the roof or Jessica Simpson sitting on someone’s lap.

We bought two hot glazed at the appropriately named Donut Shop when Mary spotted a chocolate log and asked “What’s that?” to which the lovely counter girl said “We fill those to order with custard, lemon, chocolate, or cream.” Rick exclaimed: “This is my idea of heaven,” and a custard filled version was soon in our hot little hands.

This is one of those places that would be easy to pass by on your way to wherever. Don’t!
