OK, I was able to withstand the temptation for less than 18 hours. But after thinking about the subject of this thread all night and all day long, I finally had to give in. After dinner we drove over to the nearest Krispy Kreme store for some fresh-right-from-the-fryer original glazed. While there, gobble down two of the football donuts from the tailgate pack we bought, then back in the car for the hour drive back home (yeah, we drove an hour for donuts). Thirty seconds after walking in the door at the house, the butter is in the pan, the donuts are out, and the skillet is heating up. Two minutes later and the first butter-fried Krispy Kreme is cooling on a plate next to the stove, and we are already salivating (these things smell SOOOOOOO good when they are cooking!). Without going in to all the details, let us just say that the scene that followed was everything that you might imagine it would be. After the first bite, you don't care that your cholesterol level is about to spike at 500 points plus. After the second bite, you are oblivious to the fact that you have just consumed more calories than the average human takes in over an entire year. After the third bite, the crusty comestible has reduced your ability for coherent speech to the point that you have to struggle to get out the words "yuuummmmmmyyy! Me want more!" The simple truth is that these things are unbelievably good. The fact that they are possibly the worst dietary combination in the world just doesn't matter. Bring me more!!!
