glazed and confused
Stayed home today.
Maybe all the week's driving and walking and shopping and eating have finally taken it's toll on me.
The other day, I finally had the chance to taste Krispy Kreme, something I've only read about for the longest time. I think it first found otu about this wonderful glazed dougnut from Fast Company. Funny thing is, this company has been making doughnuts since 1937, but magazines and books have been writing about it's success like it was a fast running newbie company. Krispy Kreme has been as an example of a product that generates good buzz without bombarding it's audience with tons of advertising. It generates word-of-mouth and intrigue, especially when people tell you... insist that you taste Krispy Kreme the moment it comes out of the line, while it's fresh and hot, which is something we haven't had the chance to do since we haven't visited an actual Krispy Kreme store. We bought out dozen from one of their smaller branches, so it wasn't fresh, but it still tasted good.
Connie did bring us two boxes from the Union City branch, so it was still kinda warm when we got it. I ate one dozen and Brandie ate the other dozen. Okay... maybe we didn't eat all of it. We did share some of it with our cousins. We gave them one doughnut and that was that!
I find it strange the no one in the Philippines has attempted to do anything like this. It's not like they're using new technology to put glaze on the doughnut. What makes Krispy Kreme different from the usual Dunkin and Mr. Donut is that they cover the entire doughnut with the glaze. Most of the local doughnuts only have glaze on top. And there's also something about the dough they use, that it's not dry. The whole thing just melts in your mouth when you bite off a piece. Then some of the glaze gets left on your fingers so you have to lick it off. Yummmm! Ohhh... doughts....
The guys are asking me to bring home some Krispy Kreme, which shouldn't really be a problem --considering we were able to bring buko pies, supermelt ensaymada, and puto-- carrying a couple of boxes of Krispy Kreme should be easy. The problem is we arrive on a weekend, and I don't think the doughnuts will survive til Monday. Or worse, we might start eating them on the plane! But we'll give it a try and can only pray that the flesh be not too weak.
