Hmmm, will have to figure out how to send you some of those boardwalk eats……… Really, there are at least two Dunkin Donuts in our town and somehow we managed to live within walking distance of both!

I had my first KK last year at a LAUSD meeting. Growing up in NJ and working at DD during high school and than a year after HS I got tired of donuts and cinnamon buns and hot cocoa, cannot handle donuts still.

Now I could really use a porkroll sandwich and stewarts root beer and the marshmallow fudge from jersey boardwalk. Oh and also a fresh white castle burger with onions and picke.

There was this place in Union where across the street from WC was a drive up or drive thru hot dog place, loved them.

Charlie has good taste!

My son likes both, but he always chooses cupcakes because they’re so visually appealing (I think). Usually by the time he’s finished with the icing he’s too full to eat the cake. I’m totally different, I never liked icing even when I was a kid. Usually I go for the cake and don’t eat the frosting.

Yes, forbidden fruit syndrome has been a side-effect of being GFCF that I had not anticipated. Giving Charlie the choice of the desired items has made a big difference.

Had my first KK in Nashville; seeing them at Penn Station has made the whole phenom well, less phenomenal. Mrs. C, there are Dunkin’ Donuts everywhere I turn around here in NJ—-one right down the block, actually!

It’s the frosting that seems to be very popular around here and also the crumbs on crumb cake……

Yes, there’s a brownie in Charlie’s lunch tomorrow.

Brownies with chocolate chips are better anyway.

But, cupcakes with chocolate frosting are nice too. Not techno-coloured, but chocolate.

“no, you can’t have that”
At home we call this, “Forbidden fruit syndrome” .

The gourmet cupcake fad hasn’t seemed to have hit our boutique bakeries yet, but then Krispy Kremes didn’t make much of a splash round here until it was already passe in most other places. We may start seeing this about the time it dies out back East and the smart set have moved on to pie or cobbler or something else.

(I tried a KK in Chicago once and it made my teeth hurt from the sweet–but at least I could say that I tried one.)

Yep, brownies are better.

I live in the Midwest and do you know what I miss? Dunkin’ Donuts with the chocolate icing filling.
