Well, the glazed (the only ones I'm interested in from KK) are small and
very light when hot and have a thin sugar coating over the entire donut.
When hot, the are very soft and you can practically inhale them. I would
not say they are significantly different from other donuts (just an ungodly
amount of carbs and of zero nutritional value -- make that negative
nutritional value), however. I've had very good donuts from other places
too. But to me a cold glazed donut is not worth eating -- and if the sugary
coating is not there, no way.

Well, I've had to do the same thing. Donuts were always something I ate too
many of. No more, however.

I've never had a Krispy Kreme donut and don't plan to. I suppose the fact that
donuts were never a big temptation for me helps :-) Don't get me wrong -- if
they were around at work, I would eat them, but they never really "called" to me.
They were the kind of thing where I would eat them because they were there and I
wanted something sweet, but afterward I would kick myself because they just
weren't THAT good that they were worth the calories and fat. Fresh chocolate
chip cookies, OTOH ...

When we moved to Atlanta from Up North, everybody told us that You Just
Have to Try Krispy Kreams. So we did. They do, in fact, taste good; but
since the numbers add up to about a day-and-a-half's worth of eating
they just ain't worth it. Nothing is.

Well, I had that for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't need
no stinkin donut! I'm sure some of them went into making some of
the
fat that still hanging around....I'm fortunate that I'm no longer
slave to
the call of the lit "hot" sign. Also, I'm even more fortunate that
I don't
have to go anywhere near a KK in my day-to-day travels.

Me too. The nearest one is in Nashville (whew!). :-)

Take care,

Take this morning, here in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Traffic is backed up and becoming a problem. One lane is blocked
completely,
causing commuters to have to make the transition over to the next lane and
creating one hell of a slowdown.

Why?

There's a new Krispy Kreme that opened on South Shackleford.

Last night around 9:30 I was driving to a friend's house and had to take
S.
Shackleford to get there. Still one lane closed, and a huge line of cars
in
the lane to turn into KK. Traffic monitors were even there.

You know, there's NEVER a line to get into Powerhouse Gym, which is about
10
miles away. Matter of fact, the parking is just like at church...it's
*great*.

I've resolved never to step foot in that Krispy Kreme. Why add to the
chaos?

Then something wierd happened. I didn't binge. I didn't get a
coughing fit. It was no worse than other occasional cheats. It
only took a day at 20 to get over it. The temptation to have
more evaporated out of me with a poof. It's been a few years
since then and now I can walk past them and chuckle.

If a donut fails to make wheat-allergic me sick, there is something
severely wrong with that donut!

I heard once -- I can't confirm it -- that KK donuts were made with
potato flour. Maybe that's why you didn't get sick.

I have no idea about Krispy Kreme. Might have been the sugar OD for
all I know. But I used to go to a chain called "Spudnuts" before I
started Atkins. They advertise that they use potato. I haven't set
foot in a Spudnut since 1999.

Now I go to Dunkin Donuts occasionally. For a coffee.

That is what I go into Timmies for. A coffee or a tea.
