Words Like Locusts Flew From Her Fingers

The Doughnut’s The Thing

Krispy Kreme’s Failings Tough To Glaze Over (washingtonpost.com): “And a Krispy Kreme in a box at the supermarket might as well have been made in Minnesota. Hot doughnuts have the half-life of a sub-atomic particle. Hostess cupcakes hold up better over time. Cartoned up in cardboard, Krispy Kremes taste as fresh as an Amtrak sandwich.”

Hey! They write that like being made in Minnesota is a bad thing! Well, I’m here to tell you, people: Being made in Minnesota is a very very good thing. You all should be so lucky as to have been made in Minnesota.

I was made in Minnesota. Look how well I turned out!

Anyway…Krispy Kremes. Yuck. They’re tooooooo sweet. It’s true that I’ve only had the ones you buy at the grocery store. Still, I can’t believe hot-and-fresh-ultra-sweet is all that much better than cold-and-slightly-stale-ultra-sweet.

Well…maybe it is. It’s still ultra-sweet, though, and I don’t really like that. I’m one of those people who would much rather have another slice or two of pizza and another glass of wine instead of dessert, anyway. I’ll eat sweet stuff if it’s all that’s available but I don’t typically search it out–if you know what I mean.

So, you can keep your Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I’ll have a beer.
