Krispy Kreme Cravings

You know it's been a while since you've treated yourself right when you find yourself en route to Target Colma and all of a sudden this desire for something so delicious and ultimately satiating beckons. Detour! I see neon lights blinking...nope, unfortunately it's merely a mirage. No classic glazed doughnuts are being made. But, wait (literally). If we wait long enough they're bound to make fresh, warm doughnuts sometime soon. Tick tock, tick tock. Anytime now. We were patient. We stood behind the glass wall set up for pefect viewing of the Krispy Kreme doughnut making process. The doughnut chef, an asian guy who seemed to delight in torturing us by taking his time to make a fresh batch, was a little annoyed that we had our faces plastered against the see-through glass, drool sliding down ever so slowly. Tick tock, tick tock. This is taking too long.

To hold us over we decide to get some drinks, the Mocha was way tooooooo sweet. Avoid it.

We asked for cups to get water from the drinking fountain, just to wash down that syrupy sweet after-taste left by the Mocha drink. Ironic that we can't wait to have our mouths filled by an equally saccharin, be-holed, fried morsel. Tick tock, tick tock. How much longer.Tick tock.

Finally, I see it...plop, plop. Doughnuts were being plopped into the hot oil/conveyor belt. It's begun. Mini Krullers were cooking! The perfectly portioned pieces dropped from the doohickey into the hot oil, flipped over by the oil-soaked conveyor machine, doused by winter-white glaze ...nothing in this planet can be more mesmerizing...and Voila! Time to eat.

Krispy Kreme Staff: "Sure."

Jonsey Balonsey Avatar: "Since we waited so long for freshly made ones, can we get some free samples?" (Smiling)

Krispy Kreme Staff: "Ummm...." (Silence - Looks down as if something really interesting is happening on the floor) "Here's your change. Have a good day." (Avoiding further eye contact, lest I ask for her first born)
