Ärende: Krispy Kreme
====================
Hey Dave!
-> 
->  -> You got a frebie out of it. Krispy Kreme is offering a BOGO on their
->  -> sundaes on bought on Sundays now.
-> 
->  RH> You still have Krispy Kremes too.(sigh)
-> 
-> If Ruthie is missing out on Krispy Kremes she should rejoice. Although,
there
-> is no accounting for taste(s). 
->  
->  DS> We used to have a very large Krispy Kreme store in Columbia.  They
had
->  DS> a retail section and I believe that they also made them for
->  DS> distribution in the area.  Gail brought some home one day and they
were
->  DS> quite good when fresh.  We've also bought the same type of
store-brand
->  DS> donuts and they were NOT so good, i.e. stale and greasy.  However
the
->  DS> KK store closed up a short while back.
-> 
-> My problem with KK doughnuts is that while they *are* good served hot!
and
-> now!, their shelf life sucks and they degrade quite rapidly.
-> 
->  DS> There are lots of Dunkin Donut shops around still.
-> 
-> All the Dunkies I have visited have a kitchen to make donuts on-site. So
the
-> stuff you get is not long from the oven or hot fat. Makes a big
difference.
-> 
-> We have a local donut maker (Mel-O-Cream :
-> http://www.mel-o-cream.com/rise.html) with several locations serving
donuts,
-> coffee and sandwiches. Their product ages much more nicely than Krispy
Kremes
-> and is as good or better (in some cases) as Dunkin Donuts. In fact,
Dunkin
-> Donuts has tried several time to establish a presence here - with very
limited
-> success. Currently they have a freshly opened shop located inside St.
John's
-> Hospital ... giving visitors and staff an alternative to the
hospital-run
-> coffee shop.  Bv)=
-> 
-> It's interesting that in head-to-head blind taste tests Mel-O-Cream
kicks
-> Krispy Kreme's butt every time. It's also interesting that Mel-O-Cream
does not
-> use that as a "brag".
->
We have a Krispy Kreme located here now.
We have a donut "tradition" at the ballpark.
When we have a Sunday Home game (always a day
game on Sundays) the team captain brings 
donuts for the team. "team" being the group
of workers who work a specific area of the 
ballpark. I am the "stand in" captain when 
my team captain is not available for a game.
Sunday I was team captain and I bought two
dozen mixed donuts  on my way to the ballpark.
I thought they were better than "store bought"
which means "several days" old at least. These
were made on site and some were still warm when
they went into the boxes! My team sure seemed
to like them as they disappeared in a flurry of
arms going into the boxes! Personally I think
their "regular" donut is fine without all that
sugar added on top of it...but I don't know if
you can even order them that way!!
Two Dozen mixed was $14.99 +tax...not too bad
I guess.
chat with you soon!
