In this area, you're more like to find a good kolache bakery than donut shop. Caldwell's kolache festival is this Saturday, too bad I already have plans.0 -

Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of KK. Shipley's is a more acceptable donut chain in Texas.VykkDraygoVPR wrote: »Krispy Kreme isn't really HORRIBLE, but if I'm going to have a donut, then I'm going to Titus Bakery for some Pershings or Bismarcks. But, that's in Indiana, and I'm in Texas... so...
Shipley's aren't bad, my mom loves them, that's for sure. I just don't have much taste for sugary pastries.0 -

Dunkin donuts aare cake donuts and much more dense. KK are yeast donuts and much lighter in volume and density.
DD also tastes like crap but hey we all got our opinions LOLOLOL
Nay, nay I say!!! DD Boston Cream Donuts make my taste buds so very happy, I try to have one once a week or two. 310 calories and 16 sugars are totally worth it and actually fill me up.
But those Yum Yums could very possibly unseat BCDs if I could find them.

You don't get mercury poisoning for eating two servings of seafood in a week. That's well within recommendations of 8-12 ounces of seafood per week (even for pregnant women, who are most at risk). Also, neither type of seafood you would have eaten are high-risk. Those would be tuna (which they don't tell you to not eat, just to limit to 6 ounces per week), tilefish, shark, swordfish, and king mackerel.
I had said that I had eaten a box of the shrimp, that week; which is about or over 12 Ounces.
And shrimp has 0 parts mercury per 4 oz, so at most a trace amount in your 12 ounces. Compared to between 110 and 219 parts per four ounces in the high risk fish. (even if you'd added the fillet-o-fish, the pollock in it is also a very low mercury fish)

And of course, eat whatever you like, I just wanted to make sure no one saw your post and panicked.
Thanks for posting this!

Your wife sounds amazing :laughing:
@VykkDraygoVPR
Yeah, that's why I've only eaten donuts once this year. I really need to find a good place in Houston.

I remember when KK arrived in Phoenix (when I lived there), so much buzz. And of course the hype around it ended up in me being disappointed once I finally had one. Tasted like straight up butter. Like if Cotton Candy wasn't spun sugar but was spun butter. Some weird nothing-substance that melted on my tongue and tasted like butter. I haven't had another one since.
Where I live now I only see KK preboxed in the grocery store alongside other preboxed snack cakes and donuts.
DD rules the roost where I live, I don't think I've even seen any other donut shop around (though there are lots of bakeries and bistros). I've always liked DD donuts, but I usually only ever had them when someone would bring in a huge box for meetings or the breakroom.
I did specifically go to DD several months ago for a free donut on free donut day. Which I found out about on MFP. I got a strawberry glazed, it was a yeast donut and around 400 cals if I recall correctly. DD has a large variety of both yeast and cake donuts.0 -
The cafeteria where I work uses leftover Krispy Kreme donuts to make bread pudding. Having already researched the calories in a glazed KK donut, the woman who told me about it was annoyed that I wasn't outraged that they make it in such an unhealthy way. "DO YOU KNOW HOW FATTENING THOSE THINGS ARE!?" Yes, I do, and I'm not impressed.0

During my trip to Hawaii this February we had malasadas during a century ride. Presumably more than 200 calories, but worth it. I usually don't like filled donuts, but for some reason these were an exception.

I haven't had one before! They only open shop in my state this year! Perth peeps are in love with them! Before they open this year the nearest one was a 6 hour plane ride away!
I am hoping not to taste one, just in case I want to eat them all0 -

The same thing happened to me in Southern California. The hype before they opened was incredible - great marketing team they have there. There were actually traffic jams and long lines to get a donut. I bought into the hype - much the way I bought into the hype for "Frampton Comes Alive"* - and was just as disappointed as you were.
