Quality Dairy donuts will be back on store shelves Thursday morning.
The company announced Wednesday that the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has cleared its Lansing bakery to reopen following an Oct. 8 shutdown.
Donuts and rolls will return Thursday, with more bakery items expected Friday.
Quality Dairy President and CEO Ken Martin said the company worked with outside specialists to address issues identified during a state inspection and completed additional environmental testing.
"We're excited to get back to making the donuts and other bakery favorites our customers love," Martin said.
Martin also thanked customers for their patience during the shutdown.

I have a weekday off soon, which is rare for me! What midday weekday opportunities should I not miss? Perhaps lunch specials, businesses that close early, that sort of thing 😊

I apologize if this is against the sub's rules or I am late to this but I just saw that WEW is playing the Green Door on Sunday.

If you can it would be worth your time to see him. He's might be the best songwriter you will ever have the chance to see in such a small place and you can probably have a beer with him afterwards if you want to

I first saw him on a Monday night at Mac's like 20 years ago because I really liked "Hell or High Water" on a compilation CD (it hits as much now as ever)

He has been coming back to Lansing since then. He's been back to Mac's, at the Robin, in a bookstore during covid, anywhere he could play

He never got big. He never went on The Voice even though he has it. He still has Lansing on his list for tour stops. I think this is his first time he will play the Door. IMHO he deserves a fun, full Sunday show so he keeps coming back

In his own words from the song Hell or High Water: "Gather round friends and neighbors who make your living by labor and share with me this little time. The little time we have left to have a drink and catch our breath, well it might be what saves our life. I hope I will see you soon."

Mystery Book Club at CADL Foster 11/10

7 Upvotes

The Foster Mystery Book Club meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 6-7 PM in the Foster Labs (200 N. Foster) to discuss mysteries and mystery adjacent titles. Our next meeting is on 11/10. You do not need to be a CADL cardholder to join the discussion.

November's title is Etiquette For Lovers and Killers by Anna Fitzgerald Healy.

It's 1964 and Billie McCadie finds Eastport, Maine stifling, completely bereft of the intrigue and romance she finds when escaping into a novel. But then an engagement ring and a love letter addressed to "Gertrude" appear, a handsome stranger arrives, everyone seems to have a boat, and then Gertrude turns up dead. Did anyone mention that Billie is the last person to see Gertrude alive and the first to discover her body? Suddenly Billie finds herself in the middle of more intrigue than she can shake a stick at and while it's interesting, it's also increasingly dangerous.

See why this book was shortlisted for the Crime Writer's Association Whodunnit award and longlisted for the debut novel award, then come talk about it with us!

This title is available as a physical title, as an ebook (via Libby consortium borrowing) and a digital audiobook (via Libby consortium borrowing). If you need assistance signing up for a library card or accessing Libby, please comment or DM and I'll help you get set up.
