I Bought A Gf Donut At Wf Yesterday!

[Billygoat]

It has been YEARS since I've had a donut. Every Sunday at church, there are boxes of Krispy Kremes lined up in the back of Sunday School class and it kills me...I can smell how fresh they are. *sigh* It's one of the few things that I miss terribly and have not found an alternative for.

So yesterday I'm at Whole Foods, getting my gluten-free Prairie Bread and gluten-free Blueberry Muffins, when lo and behold - I see a basket of gluten-free donuts in single packages! They were cake donuts (not the yeast kind of course) and they were a beautiful golden brown, with a lovely creamy glaze on them. Oh, they looked so divine. I put several in my basket, as I squealed with excitement. I could hardly wait to wake up this morning and have breakfast!

I jump out of bed (an hour early, mind you!) and get my coffee started. As the pot gurgles and pops, I open my donut package and the sweet smell wafted out. My mouth was watering. I force myself to wait until the coffee is done. Can't have donuts without the coffee. I pour myself a perfect cup of Ethiopian brew with two Splenda and a touch of toffee cream. Hot sips scalding my tongue, but the anticipation of having a donut drives away any pain. Tentatively, like a first-time lover I pick up my donut, pausing before I nibble into the sweet glaze, thanking God for such a wonderful delicacy. And then I take my first bite...into a brick of hard and crumbly sand castle of a pastry. The flavor is of sweaty socks dipped in a flea bath.

Oh...the disappointment. I feel like a jilted lover the morning after. I wish I'd just stuck with the coffee.

*heavy sigh*

What brand were they?

Kinnickkinnick doughnuts are pretty good, I've found.

I know you were so dissapointed but thanks for making me laugh. You should be a writer if you aren't already.

Sharon, no they weren't Kinnikinick. They were from Nutrilicious Natural Bakery. I guess there's a difference between NUTRAlicious and DElicious.

Thanks Tiffany. I'm not a writer by trade, but have loved writing since a journalism class in high school. I'm a photographer in real life. This was just my attempt at making a gloomy experience funny. Takes the sting out of the disappointment.

Hi Andy,

Okay...first of all...you are Hillarious!!! You sound alot like me. The donuts at church are always wonderful to look at and to smell, such a shame!!

Here's one for you..talk about dissapointment....

We were at a meeting last night that lasted about 2 1/2 hours. We hadn't eaten dinner and I was starving. After the meeting the hostess announces that there is coffee, tea, and dessert. She removes a towel covering the desserts and this gorgeous chocolate cake is there. Ahhhh....Every one digs in of course, except me. The hostess asks if I want any and I expain why I can't have it. She says

"Oh, I didn't make the cake I ordered it from a neighbor who uses all natural ingredients. I think she said she's the same thing as you...a celiac?, and that the cake is made with some special flour, but I can't remember"

Arggggg!!!!!

YOU CAN"T REMEMBER????!!! So obviously I couldn't risk it, not without knowing for sure. I am extremely sensitive. If she was wrong, even one bite and I would have been excruciatingly ill. Oh Well

But life is good, Wendy

I was thinking about getting that book, could I ask if it has info about blood type, genetics, etc?

Thanks,

The best gluten free dounts are from Celiac Specialties Bakery in Chesterfield, Michigan and they can be ordered on-line. (Way better than KInnickinnick!)

Sorry about the disaterious love affair thing this morning.

This thread is hysterical! I can so understand your disappointment.

I am craving Krispy Kreme like crazy...and I'm pregnant...so it's REALLY intense!

I got the Kinnikinnick, but they just didn't cut it...not bad, just not what I wanted.

Then, this week, the ladies at work brought in a dozen Dunkin' Donuts (similar to Krispy Kreme). Of course I didn't eat any, but when no one was in the break room, I would walk in and lift the lid and sniff (just fanning the lid and that delicious smell). I'm almost embarrassed to admitt that I did this at least four times that day!

I truly feel your sorrow!

Okay, I finally tried the Kinnikinnick chocolate glazed donuts. Pretty decent. I've never been a big cake donut fan, but I think I'll just have to get used to it. I've heard the chocolate dipped are even better, so I'll have to give those a whirl sometime. But they are much better than Nutralicious. Not that that takes much. God those were terrible!

Open Original Shared Link As posted above, this bakery (totally gluten-free) does have donuts. They are not bad at all, my first gluten-free food. I have to admit that they are better fresh than a few days old or out of the freezer. It might be worth a try if you want a donut.
