M-m-m-m-m. Doughnuts

When you live in the south, you learn that the two main culinary staples in life are the Waffle House and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Not to mention Barney Fife’s favorite snack of a Moon Pie and RC Cola. I visited our Cadillac dealer in Winston-Salem, NC today, which is just down the street from the world headquarters for Krispy Kreme.

There is something mesmerizing about watching those light, airy, pastry delights drifting along in a sea of hot grease as they move onto a moving rack to deliver this sweet treat to its shower of liquid sugar icing that makes your mouth water. Nothing tastes better than a classic Krispy Kreme or French cruller that is freshly picked off the conveyer belt.

As I drive this new Escalade Hybrid I find it requires less fuel than any other large sport utility. With a new lower octane consumption diet for my driving, I guess I should put myself on a similar calorie intake as well.

Well, maybe just one doughnut. It’s all about moderation, right?
