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.
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.
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.

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.)
Stephanie, it's on the right if you're headed toward Chapel Hill. Kind of a tumbledown barn looking place, as if it'd been there for a zillion years, which I think it has. Best BBQ ever.
That's the one. Closer to Pittsboro than Chapel Hill.

Oh, YUM. When I was in Vermont for my bro's wedding, I made sure to get a cider cake donut at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Also, the best honey EVAR, from the apple blossoms. I like it much better than clover honey.
I've long perfered Dunkin Donuts to Krispy Kreme. Dunkin Donuts have more body and are cake like and also come in better flavors. Like pumpkin. Yum.
However, recently I've had fresh Krispy Kremes and I do love the sugar rush I get from them.
Now I want barbeque. I pass 4 places on my way route two and from work, all locally owned and all good.
My son has a total fauxhawk. The hair on the top of his head is about 4 inches long, and the rest is so blond you barely notice it. I should dress him up as Billy Idol for Halloween.
And dang! I forgot about your being in town on Halloween, Jilli. It'd be fun to see you.
