Chocolate Brownie Deluxe
by Hella ~ May 30th, 2004It’s that time again at Krispy Kreme. The featured doughnut is scheduled to change over to Chocolate Brownie Deluxe on Tuesday. This is the first time in 4 months or so that they’ve had a non-filled featured doughnut. Recently, they’ve had Cookies & Kreme and Strawberry Shortcake, which were both filled, so I think this [...]
Going Batty
by Hella ~ April 3rd, 2004I guess it’s silly that I haven’t done one of the most popular things in Austin even though I’ve lived here almost seven years. Tonight, just before sunset, I went to my first official Congress Avenue bat viewing. Earlier in the week I saw the bats from my kayak while I was on Town Lake, [...]
Lake Out and Back
by Hella ~ March 30th, 2004I took the kayak out late this afternoon for the first time in a long time. The sun was just about setting when I put the boat in the water. I made a lazy stroll down under 4 bridges and back to where I came. There were several rowers out and their support boats were [...]
Strawberry Shortcake
by Hella ~ March 30th, 2004Well, it’s that time again. Krispy Kreme changed their featured doughnut from Cookies & Kreme to Strawberry Shortcake. The last featured doughnut was good, but I prefer this one. While it does have the shortcake flavor, it also has a hint of cheesecake, mostly due to the strawberry flavor and the creamy texture of the [...]
Finally Real Rain
by Hella ~ February 24th, 2004For the first time in a long time, it is really coming down hard here in Austin. I had planned to get my running back on track this week, but the trails will surely be completely mudded out until the end of the week. I wish it would be been doing this on Sunday; the [...]
Retail Personalities
by Hella ~ February 6th, 2004I had to make a quick trip to the mall tonight to make an exchange. I bought two pair of dress pants earlier this week but they seemed to be unfashionably long. I also swapped some jeans for the same reason; I don’t know why I thought these pants originally fit because I tried each [...]
Guinness for the Record
by Hella ~ February 5th, 2004I went shopping at Whole Foods today and decided to stop by the drink section to see if they had a Guinness in a pint bottle or can. I’ve never had one, but have been wanting to try it since I found out about the Black & Tan celebrations some people will be throwing up [...]
Cookies & Kreme
by Hella ~ January 19th, 2004For the love, my local Krispy Kreme finally changed the featured doughnut from Pumpkin Spice to Cookies & Kreme. I have been awaiting this change for over a month now because I was not a fan of the Pumpkin. I will be stopping by on my way home from work to pick up a fresh [...]
