Huh? Krispy Kreme has just opened multiple places down here in Austin
and has been making quite a splash. Couldn't drive past there two
weeks ago without my wife demanding we stop. We bought a dozen for
ourselves and another for me to take into work the next day to share.

I don't imagine those pastries would survive the shipping for the
treat exhange would they? :-(
