mmmm... hot krispy kremes... When KKs first hit the Baltimore area, I was so stoked. At the paper, we found coupons for free dozens of donuts among the pile of media swag we would get from publicists. If you work in media, you know: Most swag sucks. KK swag made up for all the crap. For the next few weeks, we all went nuts eating those fluffy, sticky heavenly clouds of sweet goodness. And we all started gaining weight, so that office ritual -- sob -- had to stop. It hurt, but there was no other choice. God, I *love* Krispy Kremes... but I must - must - must avoid them at all costs. Dammit, just gained a pound from just thinking about the things.

For the first 9-12 months I was buying a dozen a week. I wasn't eating them all, thank God. I've now cut back to a dozen every 3-4 weeks, and they have to be hot, right out of the fryer.

Use caution with those doughnuts. We get Krispy Kremes delivered to our office cafeteria and belive you me, you can tell by looking around... They say the average new hire gains 15 pounds pronto when signing on. But yes, they are delicious. I Actually had two this morning!
