but are they as good as Tim Horton's?

They are all good and depends what I am hungry for. We don't have many Tim Horton's down here in Fla!

Krispy Kreme offers $1 Original Glazed® dozen BOGO Saturday through Monday and perfect pairing of FREE coffee and doughnut on National Coffee Day

5-stars. Hottest story on Lit. I had to read it twice.

Tims is the national flagship donut store in Canada.

Despite the name, Krispy Kreme flagship donuts are not actually creme filled for you

 

[TheRedLantern]

Oh, I know EXACTLY what I'm getting into with Krispy Kreme. They're REALLY popular.

I bought a couple boxes of Krispy Kreme for a social gathering. On the subway ride to the place, people kept asking to buy donuts from me. I made some of my money back. They're SOOOO delicious.

The glazing gets me messy enough for it to be Lit-worthy.

though Krispy Kreme is in Canada, they have limited locations only in the largest cities. Fer instance, in Ontario, all their locations are in the Greater Toronto Area, which is only a 17 hour drive away from me (in the same province).

It's another beautiful sunny morning and the grass is starting to green up. I'll have to get out and harvest some cherry tomatoes today. I harvested some chives yesterday

I've got a fresh pot of coffee brewing and the teapot is hot. There are pastries and apple crisp on the counter. This one was made with Empire apples and tastes great.

I'll be over in the corner working on my story. Just ignore the argument I'm having with my Muse ...

There web site tells me my closest one is in Canada, a few hours away. And I do not live in Canada.

We do have double D's everywhere. This is the part of the country where if you can find a spot to shoot off a gun and no DD can hear it, start bullding one there.

We just got a new double D here and the local donut shop closed up.

Despite them being ubiquitous all through new england, I'm not a huge fan. And I will always try to go to a local place than a chain when I can.

 

[NotWise]

We're getting a new Dunkin's down the street from here--about a mile away. I haven't had one of their donuts in the modern age. I've only had their coffee once, and that was in suburban Atlanta.

Dunkin's in New England sounds like Waffle House in the south. We checked once while driving in Alabama, and if you were out of site of a Waffle House sign, it probably meant the trees were blocking your view.

 

[NuclearFairy]

If I posted that, I would have to add "and a few of them were good ones."

I'm satisfied with what I've written, it's what comes next that I'm not so sure on.

We don't have any Dunkin's or Waffle Houses around here. Although I do wish they'd build a Casey closer to here. Best pizza, donuts and pinwheels all in one stop.

I had to look up Casey's. We don't have them here, and when their website couldn't find a nearby location it gave me this:

Casey's serves the boonies so you must really be out there.

We moved back to Washington very briefly after my dad died. (It was more like a one year visit to help my mom get her affairs in order) And on the trip back we very nearly cried the first time we spotted a Casey in I think Nebraska, but I'm not sure. The eldest is a very picky eater but there is always something she'll eat there. D=

 

[JGittes]

There's a Krispy Kreme down in Brighton. They're the closest in style to my favorite glazed doughnuts in the US, Shipley's in Houston (and other places in Texas, I believe). But unless one can get them hot from the doughnut-making machine, it's not the same.

KK - Closest is 70 miles away. When we lived closer to one, it was always fun when they were running the machine and would hand out free samples hot off the conveyor to anyone waiting in line.

DD - Closer, only 30 miles. Cream-filled always my preference. Powdered sugar on top? Very, very messy. Don't dare eat 'em in the car.

Casey's - Quality is regional due to contracted suppliers. We have three in our town, and I haven't been happy with any of them. The one near our (former) cabin was great.

Tim Horton's packed up and left most of the US 10-15 years ago. We used to have one about an hour away. There are a bunch in western Ohio, three in Houston, and a handful of single stores scattered in the eastern US.

Local? We had a great one that lasted about two years. Did a land-office business they couldn't handle. Our choices here are either Casey's, or the bakery at the large-chain supermarket. Now theirs aren't bad, and cooked on-site.

But it doesn't matter any more. Just diagnosed with Type 2, and the doctor frowns on this kind of activity.

We met Tim Horton's in the Detroit area last fall and stocked the AirBnB with their coffee. Didn't have their donuts. I didn't even know they sold donuts.

edit: And to be honest, I can't remember the last time I had a donut.

In the couple of times we hit a TH, it was all about the cinnamon rolls, actually.

@Candy_Kane54, the Lobos are playing the (NM State) Aggies this afternoon at 2:00 Mountain Time. If you want to watch, you can find it streaming on themw.com. There may actually be a crowd in the stadium.

Krispy Kreme Donuts actually originated in Buffalo NY. The system to make those yummy donuts was invented by an ancient donut shop called "Freddies Donuts" But Freddy didn't make a go of it. He sold the recipe and machinery to a couple of fellows who moved I think it was to North Carolina, opened up Krispy Kreme and made a killing.

Buffalo is the city where good ideas go to die.

Get your levels stabilized and figure out how much you can cheat and where you want to use that budget. It might be a donut a week. Or a milkshake a month. Or whatever.

I hope you can find a way to keep up some of the things that are important to you.
