Earlier today my boys left the house so they could run some errands. In addition to returning a used car battery to Costco (don’t ask), they needed to buy wiper fluid, engine coolant, milk and eggs so that I could whip up a tasty little Poison Pie for supper.
Oh, I kid about making a poisonous dessert.
And besides, I only use engine coolant in special casseroles.
Anyway, they returned with everything on their list. Plus a couple of extra items.
Twenty-four. Krispy Kreme. Donuts.
In my house.
Shoot me now.

Scott has become obsessed with krispy kremes. Pretty much after every meal now – he suggests we go to KK and get donuts. SERIOUSLY? I could eat 24 in one sitting I love them that much. That’s why I have to stay AWAY!!!!!!!!!
Life is short – eat a donut! (or two!)
But look! 0 Trans Fat! It’s all good.
Oh my.
When the sign flashes, ya gotta get ‘em.
It’s a law.
I think the whole no trans-fat justifies eating them. You’ll be fine… :) Have one for me. Can’t get them in this town. :(
If we adhere to your request, do we get the donuts?
Do they put engine coolant in Krispy Kremes, too? You’ll have to send post your recipe.
Bet there ain’t 24 of ‘em now. There probably weren’t even 24 of ‘em there when you posted this! ;-)
xoxoxo

Shoot you? Heck, I’m waiting for directions!
Aw, c’mon Boo- it says “0 grams trans fat” right there on the front of the box! It must be good for you then, right?
Poor baby!
24? 24? What were they thinking? My husband understands that it’s really best for me if he just brings me ONE of whatever special treat he decides he needs to purchase. Yes, I do possess the ability to eat all 24…
Oh yum!!
YOU, my friend, are married to the perfect man.
Life is short… eat (in moderation) and be happy!
I am a Krispy Kreme fan myself, but sadly I have to drive at least 3 hours (yes 3) to get to the nearest Krispy Kreme.
Are you feeling the teensiest bit sorry for me yet? Tee hee…
I must be the weirdest person on earth because I don’t think KK donuts are all that great. Lots of air, and pretty sticky, but not much taste. Now, give me Wenchels, or a Potter’s Bakery donut and we’re in business!
Beth
At least there are no transfats!
I. HATE. YOU. There is no KK anywhere near us; the best we can do is Dunkin Donuts. How many are left? Must live vicariously…..
Last week my daughter picked up a box of Krispy Kremes for the first time in ages and I simply could not stop eating them. Every time I walked by the counter they were sitting on I just had to take a bite…until they were ALL gone. Seriously, that’s why we can’t have those in our house! I’ll be lifting you up in prayer for a little self control!
The Krispy Kreme in my town CLOSED recently and has been turned into a jewelry store. (Drive through diamonds, anyone?) What is WRONG with Round Rock, Texas that it did not support a Krispy Kreme? (And it’s only blocks away from Dell Computers…quite a customer base, I would think.) Enjoy one for me, Boo.
Those are the devil!
Our only Krispy Kreme closed down. It was a sad sad day here in Southeast Texas. I miss the neon glow of the sign flashing HOT Fresh Donuts. Closest thing we have is a Shipley’s. Oh well eat 1,2 or 10 for me!
Mmmmmmm… doughnuts! :)
I’m sorry. This isn’t helping is it?
I so want your life! Krispy Kremes and named a tattoo contest judge in the same day! :) I say ice a glass and grab a diet Coke and a KK!
I could not be more jealous.
Now there is something I haven’t had in a long time. When I was pregnant those were coveted in my house. Enjoy them for all of us!
OH,BOO! What a painful, slow death…
I FEEL YOU! These are hard to resist!
Hypoglycemic LOWWWW that will send me into an abyss of darkness…it’s true! Hormones are horrible, headache….
BUTTT, they are soooo delicious!
OH MY ~ Krispy Kreme donuts are the best! When passing a KK shop and you find the “hot donuts now” flashing, you must stop, buy a dozen and eat at least three by the time you pull out of the parking lot!!! I think it’s written in the fourth chapter of Jude! At least it’s in my bible ~ my story and I’m stinkin’ to it!
Enjoy, Bitsy
(I met the CEO of KK ~ http://whatsbloggingbits.blogspot.com/2008/01/krispy-kreme-donuts.html
Hot & now…
Cold & later…
does it really matter?
Amen.
Oh, I miss Krispy Kreme on the beach in Destin….really, I do!
Enjoy one for me, OK??
By the way, you are beautiful.
Just found your site from SCL. Let me tell you about the KKs- you are dead on. My hubby came back with some one his first trip to the grocery store and said, “Did you know they sell Krispy Kreme’s at Publix??”. he was so excited.
“Why, yes. I just walk past them every time.”
That was about 5 years ago and he hasn’t been allowed back to Publix since. He is occasionally allowed to Target for emergencies-
Oh and the recipe for Poison pie? Will you send it to me? I really would like a recipe from your Mama and Martha, too, if you could :)
The cookbook needs more Martha–that’s all I’m sayin’
Oh. My. GOSH! Is that just like a man? Have you read Big Mama today? My hubs could eat a whole box and never have to loosen a button and I just gained 5 pounds looking at the box photo. I just finished my nightly ration of 2 turkey franks, 1/2 c. broccoli 1/2 c. carrots and 1/2 banana w/1/2 c. ice cream (no, its not the half-a-diet) and just the photo of the box is making me drool. Thank you for not showing the photo of the innards. I’m fantasizing that they were vanilla cream filled with chocolate icing.
closest store from me….315 miles!!!
NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo.
Was just reading a previous post and realized you’re from Mississippi. I was at She Speaks and in one of your workshops though I didn’t get to meet you personally. I am a Mississippi gal and never plan to leave.
Oh Sophie. My sympathies. Because the Kremes? Impossible to resist. I believe they use them at Gitmo to make suspects crack.
“Just tell us where Bin Laden is, and you can have a donut. Heck, we’ll even let you have a hot one.”
krispy kreme. who could resist?
Did you know that Krispy Kreme’s stock goes up when the economy is bad?
HA. I’ll take one off your hands, just send it on over.
Have they been talking to Big Mama’s bubby? Mercy! That is just pure evilness right there, 24 of them!
Mari
If I shot you, then I’d eat all the donuts. Then I’d have to shoot myself.
We’re in the Land of Krispy Kreme here so we love that purchase! ;) Way to go guys!
May I recommend 9 seconds in the microwave before indulging…you won’t be sorry!
KK donuts mean – you scramble eggs – real ones not that eggbeater stuff, fry bacon – a lot of it and get out the orange juice – all that protein and vitamin C will totally balance out eating your full share of the mere two dozen (say two dozen instead of 24 – sounds better doesn’t it?) Oh you are definitely in the family of GOOOOOODDDDD men – good doughnut bringing men.
Just looking at the picture is hard on a girl.
4 months on Weight Watchers…..39 pounds down…..I ain’t sayin’ how many to go.
That there is a beautful sight!
I love your blog!
Many blessings!
OK, you need to go over to Big Mama’s blog right now and read her post about how wrong it is that men can eat whatever they want and their ability to lose weight quickly when they want to.
LOL! krispy kreme is my weakness! especially if they have chocolate on top. yum! I didn’t know we had any around here! enjoy :)
Great. Now I am craving those like crazy. They are SOOOOO good…
I’m probably going to get some major backlash about this one, but I HATE Krispy Kreme donuts. Ugh. My husband thinks I’ve lost my mind. I’m not saving my hate just for KK. I hate all donuts. Except Dunkin Donuts powered donut. Yum. All others are gross.
I know, I’m weird. I get told that every time I pass a “Hot Donuts Now” sign and I don’t start to twitch like everyone else.
Two things are funny about this post for me…..
First: this evening, as my husband stopped by Sam’s after work to get a few ingredients for a shrimp boil he is making this weekend, he brings home a CASE of Oreo’s and a DRUM of those little chocolate Pirolines stick things. I almost passed out from all the calories he brought into this house. I hate to say I laid into him and he took the things outside (where they belong) to the car for him to take to work tomorrow. Let those people gain the weight, I say! I should not be surprised. He never cooks, therefore, never shops for food, and thusly, never goes into Sam’s. He was just suffering from some kind of “junk-food-abundance-overload” which obviously fried his brain and rendered him incapable of making rational decisions. And he lives in a house with FOUR females, for pete’s sake! We just can’t afford to eat THAT much junk…I mean who is home alone all day with the Oreos? Him? No, he’s safe at work. Us girls, that’s who! Okay, I’m done with the rant. Whew. Glad that’s over.
Second: We have all the Looney Tune DVDs and I LOVE the one with Bugs and Daffy arguing over who Elmer Fudd will shoot while hunting. Bugs totally confuses Daffy in this episode (doesn’t he always?) and Daffy ends up yelling “SHOOT ME NOW!” and gets a face full of buckshot. Not funny unless you see it, probably, but totally funny to my tired brain.
Good luck resisting the dougnuts! Man…24????? Geez.
