The contest

Yes. It's true. There was a doughnut eating contest.

We arrived at Krispy Kreme in perfect time for the doughnuts to stroll through the icing waterfall and for the HOT NOW sign to light up. We got two dozen, and they were .... perfect.

I finished my first four in five minutes or so, and then slowed down a little. Maxine plowed through her first five like it was nothing. And then the sugar high hit us and we were laughing uncontrollably at absolutely nothing. Cassi was photographed laying on the floor. And Maxine had to call Jodi for moral support.

And I held my own. I ate six. But Maxine reached across the table at the last minute and ate half of another from the spectators' dozen.

And so yes. It's true. I lost.

But I ate six hot krispy kremes in fifteen minutes. AND I ate one for breakfast this morning.
