Message: <blockquote data-quote="Honeybee" data-source="post: 1482707" data-attributes="member: 3655">Just found this story, thought you would like it.I like doughnuts!  Who doesn’t?I am a patrol officer in Las Vegas, this is just my current job, I used to work in Los Angelis but the powers to be decided that I needed an easier beat, and then she left me for some Elvis impersonator.  Enough about that, it has nothing to do with doughnuts.Driving around 10 hours a day can be boring, very boring. Unlike the CSI shows you see on television real life is not like that, it’s writing tickets to everyone who pisses you off by trying to drive impaired or blind or looking for thieves after a burglary or robbery. To stay awake it is only natural to drink a lot of coffee and if you drink a lot of coffee on an empty stomach you get acid attacks so eating doughnuts is a natural.I was first introduced to dougnnuts in my grandmother’s kitchen. They were globs of deep fat fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar and we all loved them but when I was in junior high our town got a Duncan’ doughnut shop and every weekend included at least one stop at the Duncan’ to get a doughnut or two and a drink. I loved Duncan’s  but my senior year of high school my dad moved our family to California and there I discovered Winchell’s, home of the fresh doughnut.Winchell’s was like a little slice of heaven, Duncan’ had great doughnuts but Winchell’s had “Fresh hot donuts” and it was there that I became officially hooked. It wasn’t too many years before I began traveling across the country and in each city I tried the local varieties and each had something great and exciting going for it.But a few years ago a little shop opened here called Krispy Kreme and when they opened I became their number one customer, It was great, they give you a fresh hot doughnut as soon as you walk in so you can curb your excitement while waiting in line to place your order. And you can watch the entire opera played out right there in front of you, from loading the dough into the hopper, popping out the well-loved circles, cooking, turning, icing and packaging, all in a glass walled room just inches away.My partner just became “Health Conscious” a few weeks ago and decided that having doughnuts in the car was not healthy for “us”.  Not healthy my ass, I have to have donuts to cut the acid of the gallons of coffee I drink a day. None the less I agreed to cut back. Unfortunately I am finding that Krispy Kreme’s are just too addictive.  I found myself yesterday making a sandwich out of 2 glazed doughnuts with a chocolate covered donut as a filling, today I bought 6 dozen so I could hide them around places I frequent so that I would not have to go without and yet not have them in the car.  If I don’t get a new partner I am thinking of quitting and buying a Krispy Kreme franchise.</blockquote>
