So I finally had a Krispy Kreme from the wakefield store (one of my coworkers was kind enough to bring some in for the group). I have one glaring complaint:
How in the world are you supposed to tell what is inside these donuts. I took a gamble between a delicious jelly (or maybe strawberry cream cheese?) and a yucky lemon creame. Of course I chose the wrong one and ending up just eating around the lemon stuff. I don’t get it, if the stuff is not highly visable, how do you tell.
Anyhow, the donut was ok, I hate the lemon, but I enjoyed the outer “glazed” part…
one day maybe I will see the light…
This clip has been making the rounds on the Internet, so odds are you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, you should watch it, preferably in HD at Vimeo. At the very least, click the title of this post to see it full size.
The premise is simple: Matthew Harding took a trip to 42 countries to film short clips of him doing a silly dance, sometimes alone, sometimes with lots of local folks, often in beautiful locations. The result is this 4:28 video.
I’m proud to share the fact that this guy is from Connecticut. They don’t call us nutmeggers for nothing.
Update: The song is (called Praan) is available at Amazon’s MP3 store. The web site for the project is, appropriately, wherethehellismatt.com, where there are more videos and maps.

I have to say that the plain ones are pretty good. I mean, for a donut, they are really good. They don’t quite have the overpowering sickly sweet taste that the glazed Dunkin Donuts has. Which is good.
I’m not a big fan of fruit fillings, so I can’t really comment on that. Try the plain ones if you get a chance. They are really good.

You have to try the chocolate frosted ones. Unlike the DD version, they are glazed first and then frosted with chocolate. Donut nirvana right there. Double if they’re hot.
Mmmmm donuts….. (had to be said)

strawberry cream cheese? they’re selling them again? Oh lord. I need one! College was seriously as much about Krispy Kreme runs (2 donuts and a beverage for 1 buck) as Taco Bell, Walmart and books for me

Well, for our Krispy Kreme enjoyment, there is now a new Krispy Kreme store at the Prudential mall. Seems to be doing well. Maybe I wil cave one day and give Krispy Kreme another go.

After this thread last night, I had to mapquest the closest Krispy Kreme to our new house. It’s 5.69 miles, in case you were wondering.

Ha! that is fantastic. Maybe I really am selling Krispy short. Weekend field trip to the Pru it is! I guess that would go well with a brunch at the Cheesecake factory?

I love Krispy Kreme donuts. I would like to know how I can open up a franchise.
