In a comment about my recent commentary on Krispy Kreme, Dorcas mentioned a donut episode that happened in years past.
Indeed, it’s a particularly favorite AHQ memory. We were on tour with Paul (Life in the Shoe‘s husband, but this was years before Life in the Shoe) somewhere up north, Minnesota or somewhere, and it was in the dead of winter. Piles of snow everywhere, and bone-chilling temps that make even Hoosierville seem mild.
We had managed to find a Krispy Kreme (this was also long before there were any in the Northwest), so we stocked up on donuts. Not long before this, our good buddies the Denton Brothers had showed us a video they made centered around the last Krispy Kreme donut in the box. It was pretty good, so we thought we’d do our own version.
There was one donut left, but it was a day old and had been frozen in the van overnight. Now you know that hot off the conveyor there’s hardly anything more melt-in-your-mouth than a Krispy Kreme. But old and cold, they’re anything but. I was more than up to the task though, and I put it away in fine style.
So here for your viewing pleasure interest is “The Last Donut.”
This particular feat would have been no big deal if it was a hot one, but let me tell you, that was a mouth full.
