General rules have exceptions, don’t they?

December 8, 2008 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

So, as a general rule I don't eat donuts.  Nothing against them.  But I don't love donuts.  I don't go out of my way to pick up a donut at church on Sunday (which is where I'm most likely to have a run-in with a donut, but that's not important right now).

See?  Donuts are not even on my radar.

But we had to go to Borders and to Best Buy today which meant we had to drive by here:

Krispy K

And when the hot doughnuts sign is on, well, I guess….. it makes me want to have a donut! Although, let me reiterate that as a general rule, I don't eat donuts!

But these are not just ANY donut, of course.  A Krispy Kreme Original Glazed.   See?  So suddenly I know what classes donuts are to be found in. 

I know species and genus and I could quickly sort them into a pleasing configuration for maximum eating pleasure.

Krispy Kremes

I don't eat donuts as a general rule, remember? Except for when we drive near Krispy Kremes and that HOT NOW sign comes on and the smell hits me and I throw caution to the wind and I order a DOZEN Original Glazed – straight out of the oven.

Krispy Hot

Okay, so technically the "no donut" thing is really more of a loose guideline than a hard and fast rule.  =D
(you wish you were me. =D)

    Hot Now are the only donuts I really like. They’re addictive, and evaporate somewhere between my mouth and my throat. I don’t even know how that’s possible, but it’s true. (They also, miraculously, go straight to my hips after they evaporate)

    OMG, donuts are EVIL!!Donuts aren’t generally my Indulgence-Of-Choice, but whenever I eat one I crave them every day for weeks on end!
    So glad to hear they’re not on your radar! —but you’re right, if I saw that light on when driving by, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to resist that yummy hot melt-in-your-mouth happy-place!!
    ….Mmmmmmm….Donuts…. *drooling*
