cupcakes are merely delivery systems for the frosting

This is Franny's opinion. She considers the cupcake to be a plate.

Won't eat them now. The sugar crash would be so hard, I'd probably dent the floor.

I have had a Krispy Kreme hot from the line once. The sugar vaporized as soon as it hit my mouth; my eyes dilated, my heart sped up, and I apparently became a touch hyper and incoherent. No more KKs for me.

I have realized that I like my own buttercreams better than those at Cupcake Royale

Yours are a touch better, but Cupcake Royale is somewhat closer for Pete to go to and get me a 'you will feel better tomorrow' treat.

I wonder if one of those is a place some friends swore by. Really rustic meat & three type place. Just rough benches and picnic tables. You didn't "order" anything , you ate what they served you The meal might vary a little in terms of whether you got collard greens or green beans and what kind of cobbler or dessert you got, but it was basically bbq, mashed potatos, corn on the cob, some bacon grease cooked veggie, biscuits, gravy and sweet tea.

I went there once. I mainly remember the corn and the biscuits.

A Fry Daddy?

What is this thing? It sounds fabulous. I love Things That Are Fried.

Bear in mind that I never had a donut that wasn't from Krispy Kreme until I was 18. So to me they're what a donut is supposed to taste like, and the others are all too heavy and dense, even when they taste OK.

I've mentioned it before, but I grew up eating greasy cake donuts made at the local cider mill every year, so to me, that's what a donut is supposed to taste like. KKs, while good, taste sort of like spun sugar to me. They're not heavy and dense enough.

Also, according to my childhood experiences, donuts are an autumn food, usually consumed in September and October.

I apparently became a touch hyper and incoherent. No more KKs for me.

Really? Damn, because I would pay cash money to watch this in person at the end of October.

Sweetie, just come to Disneyland with us. It'll pretty much be the same sort of experience, just without the sugar crash at the end.

Oh, true. It's quite a bit closer, and they always have frosting. I only have frosting sometimes. It is, however, closer and easier for me to make my own frosting, as I always have the stuff to make it with on hand in case of cupcake emergency.

My first non-KK donut was a freshman year culture shock experience akin to going to an advertised "barbecue" where the menu featured hamburgers and hot dogs, and discovering that no one else on my dorm hall made a distinction between a barbecue and a cookout.

Sweetie, just come to Disneyland with us.

Oh, rest assured. I am pinching my pennies hard for this. I already wanted to make it to Disney this year because of the 50th celebration. Going along with you is like going along when Nilly was here. A no-brainer.

(Though I waffled until literally the last possible second when Nilly was here. I was running down the stairs as ND pulled up to pick up my roommate. I burst out the door to my building just as he was about to pull away, and Thomash had to tell him to stop and grab me.)
