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.

The closest Crispy Creme around here is like 2 1/2 hours away. So by the time we ever get them for “donut sales” they are nasty. The only way to eat them is hot and fresh with the light on!
But hey, 0 trans fats means they’re good for you, right? Right? :)
If they were hot, I’d have to eat a few, then shoot you:)
Hand over the doughnuts and no one gets hurt.
Except me, as my arteries slam shut.
I have to drive by KK with my eyes shut so I won’t know if the “hot now” sign is on.
This has nothing to do with the fact the you are blessed to have Krispy Kreme in your area…I think it’s pretty much the coolest that you are one of the tatt judges for SCL.
Rock on BooMama!
Would you consider it really horrible if I told you I have never had a Krispy Kreme donut? Isn’t that sad!? I hear they are heavenly when fresh and hot.
so does your costco carry the krispy kremes or was that a separate trip?!?
i don’t think our costco does…and i can’t think of a better item i’d like to buy in bulk!
Have you blown a fuse in your microwave yet? I would have! Personally, I think it’s a crime in GA to drive past Krispy when the Hot Donut Now sign is on and not stop. I’m pretty sure you can be arrested. So, you’re doing a good thing!
I went to a dinner once where these donuts were brought to a whole new level of evilness:
Vanilla ice cream was sandwiched between two Krispy Kreme donuts fried in butter, then drizzled with caramel sauce.
So wrong, but also, so very right.
God bless your boys!! I would grab that and run off to the other end of the house and eat like an animal deprived of food (and that would be after a full meal). Those are some dangerous little goodies there!
I have never met a Krispy Kreme doughnut I didn’t like!!
Am starting day four of eatting heart healthy. This is not cool. Now I want a doughnut. Shoot.
Oooo… that can be dangerous! Especially with a warm cup of coffee, yum!
It must have been the red light. Because it IS against the law to pass a red light…and I think that applies to Krispy Kreme’s red light, too!
Oh my…. There is nothing that smells quite as wonderful as warm hot Krispy Kremes, is there? I remember an incident where we picked up a dozen (ok, maybe it was 2 dozen) at the drive up window, and our border collie, Betty Lou, who had been fast asleep in the back of the SUV, woke up and literally jumped into the front seat as the box(es) were being passed into the car. She was determined not to miss her donut! It’s downright scary what people, and apparently dogs, will do for those sugar coated fat balls….
Please eat one for me. We don’t have them around here anymore. And look–it now says 0 grams transfat. Woohoo! Live for me–PLEASE!
I.Love.Krispy Kremes! We lived in Australia for a while and the donuts there — terrible. Not a Krispy Kreme in sight…Then one Sunday, my DH and DS and I were out for lunch and, I swear to you, in the parking lot – a Krispy Kreme car. I, pregnant and having not had a good donut in MONTHS, struck up a conversation with the driver of the car. He graciously gave me 2 dozen of those glazed wonders and told me they were opening the first KK in Australia not far from where we lived. Heaven for a pregnant woman!
You could always use your special casserole enhancer on the doughnuts… might help.
Unfortunately, due to my wheat sensitivity, I won’t be able to assist you. Otherwise I would suggest you just send them to me [smile].

a quick shot in the microwave and mmmmm…tasty!
There’s no hope when 24 Krispy Kremes are in front of you. No hope at all. Might as well get the beverage of your choice and surrender to the inevitable.
Enjoy them!
oh NO! that’s a recipe for disaster in my house! YIKES!
When I was at Mama’s over the weekend, we passed Krispy Kreme and she asked if we wanted a donut.Like she had to ask.
We went through the drive-thru and Mama said she would eat hers LATER. LATER!
I did not inherit her donut restraint.
0 grams of fat maybe, but enough sugar to send me into a diabetic coma and I’m no diabetic.
When we moved to this town I had never seen an actual KK store! It’s such a novelty when friends come to visit. My dad actually called a friend on the way there to tell him he was going to a KK “Factory”!
Hubby once ate 4 before we even got out of the parking lot. He’s still alive, so I’m sure you’ll be fine, too :)
YUMMY! At least you have a reason to eat them now. They can’t go to waste!
Yum…. now all I can think about is Krispy Kreme
Mmmm, donuts!
Hey there… why don’t you just try eating the “holes” then you won’t have a problem. Though I don’t even have that much will power! Good Luck!
you know, when they’re hot, they melt in your mouth so quickly, that you can eat 4 without blinking, and it’s really only like eating just one.
at least that’s what I think.
and if “it’s the thought that counts” really, then you can eat 8 and only feel like you’ve eaten 2. :)
that’s my logic and I’m sticking to it.
While you’re judging the tatto contest for SCL…..have some hot KK…….maybe one for each tatt?
That’s like the time my husband emailed me a “buy one dozen, get a dozen free” coupon from KK. It’s just us and a 22-month-old (who was more like 18 months at the time), so I’m not sure why he thought I’d allow 2 dozen KKs in the house!
By the way, I found you through SCL and I am DELIGHTED that you are going to judge for the tattoo contest. Such fun!
at least there were 0 trans fat in them…so funny…okay so without feeling completely dumb, somehow I favorited just the month of Junes postings, so I was thinking you had left us for solong, thanks I corrected it and am so glad. Thanks.
I don’t even like donuts–except for Krispy Kreme originals hot from the store. OMG.
When we go to the “big city,” hubby will ask if I want to stop as we approach the hill where KK is located.
Nine times out of 10 I will say “no”…..unless one of us then says…”The light is on.”
And that means that our itty bitty pick’em up truck just glides into the parking lot on auto pilot.
Microwave for 7 seconds. Divine.
I can hear myself now “Please step away from the donuts” would be my chant with 2 dozen of those beauties sitting in my kitchen.
That is torture to this pregnant woman.. I want some now and there is no where to get them…
I’m going to go cry now..
;)
Perhaps they were accosted by some small child in the parking lot trying to raise money for a youth group mission trip. Yea, that’s it.
Ooh, I loves me some Krispy Kreme. And in our neck of the woods there’s one…35 minutes away. Yeah, I don’t get them very often.
I totally thought of you just now when I spilled, er spilt, a half a box of Cheez-Its on my kitchen floor. Just broke my tender heart.
Simply to die for! Love the Krispy Kremes. My daughter did a “presentation” on the history of doughnuts. So, of course, we went to KK and got doughnuts, hats, doughnuts, fliers, doughnuts, and pictures of the “process” of making doughnuts. That was by far our favorite project! ang
After reading your post, when I walked into the entry way of the grocery store I could smell the grocery store donuts from that far away. Then I grabbed crackers which were directly below the Oreo cookies. I had to talk to myself (outloud!) to get myself away…to where I got my creme-filled long john. :(
Hey, Just wanted to let you know I’ve been your reading your blog for several months now and have just worked up the nerve to comment. You are great. May I create a link in my blog to your blog? Oh and by the way, we are also doing the Beth Moore Living Proof Live at our church. I can’t wait until next week. If you have a minute, please check out my blog!
Oh yum!
I don’t love the Krispy Kremes (or any donut) so much.
Can we still be buds?
Wash that down with a little engine coolant and it will probably all dissolve right away. Guilt free eating :)
I just wanted to comment on the Pavlovian effect your photo had on me.
I’m totally drooling down my shirt.
Next put a picture of my mother from 35 years ago and let’s see what happens.
By the way, I really have no idea what that last comment was I made about my mom. Now that I read it, it sounds totally creepy. Sorry.
I hope you don’t lose readers from it.
i really shouldn’t be allowed on the computer when I’m hungry for donuts.
I’m a Shipley girl, but I have never been one to turn down a Krispy Kreme.
I can feel myself bloating as I type. But it’d so be worth it. Until weigh in day.
Those things are akin to crack, I’m convinced.
My hubs Scott is hilarious yet he rarely laughs. This post did it to him. Consider that a big victory. :)
