What kind of a doughnut-mad pig do they think I am?

Posted on February 2nd, 2008 in doughnuts, goofiness

Krispy Kreme Napkins
That’s a lot of napkins.

I just got back from the Krispy Kreme where I bought four dozen doughnuts for Boobaby’s birthday cake. For TOMORROW, that is. (The Krispy Kreme doughnut cake is a family tradition; you may recall our wedding cake or Boo’s first birthday, since I talk about it all too often.)

When I got home I discovered that they had given me at least 50 napkins to go with my order. (A quick aside to my continental and Commonwealth buddies — that would be "serviettes." You thought I meant "napkins"? That’s just gross.)

Anyway, did they think I was going to eat every single one of the 48 doughnuts on the drive home? (And, incidentally, need one napkin per doughnut?)

Although, to be fair, I do have a history of overeating doughnuts when depressed, don’t I?

And I did eat two on the way home.

OK, three.

And a half.

  1. mmmmmmm, doughnuts…..

    Oh Krispy Kreme, how I love thee….

    Even if I have to drive 2 hours to the closest one.

    That ‘drive through doughnuts’ seems a little obscene to me.

    And they give me heart burn to rival pregnancy heart burn.

    I love you Krispy Kreme.

    But only the plain ones.

    Hope BooBaby’s birthday is fabulous!!

  2. YUM. Keep me awaaaaaaaaay from the doughnuts. :)

  3. LOL…just three? And a half…
    Dunno maybe its me, maybe just being brought up on homemade and local bakeries here in New England, there was a Krispy and they didnt do well.
    I know I know…

    Great blog!
    Peace

  4. Aw, thanks. I think Krispy Kreme might be a big-town kind of thing — it was pretty crazy fun here in San Francisco when they opened it. You get to see the big machine behind the glass squoooching out the doughnuts and then frying them and running them through the sugar shower. It’s a hoot…

  5. Soooo sad reading this! The one decent doughnut place we have is WAY on the other side of town - and the KK you get in the grocery store are just bleugh!

    Oh, and we know what a napkin is ;)

  6. Oooh, how I love chocolate covered Krispy Kreme. I would love to see a picture of the cake. Sounds very interesting.
