OMG. For those of you that know me you may remember my disastrous investment in Krispie Kreme. I bought 100 shares when I moved to SF, based on the quote of a very fit friend about Krispie Kreme actually containing heroine because he couldn't NOT eat them. That was enough for me, if a fried and frosted southern treat could tempt a dedicated sportsman then perhaps I should invest. The stock price went up up up then down down down down. Now I just keep it in the portfolio to remind me that buy and hold doesn't always work...When researching the stock I had heard they had an outlet in Harrods, but had trouble believing it until I ventured into the foodhall and lo and behold - "Hot doughnuts Now." Sort transported me back to the outlet on Ponce DeLeon in ATL, and the many late evenings that ended there. I'm all misty eyed as I write. I did not partake of the goodies, I will leave that for a future date however please note, that they do indeed have a krispie kreme in London.
In re-reading this post, I find it very surreal, kind of like the Bar B Que thing - I'm starting to sense a bad food theme for this blog. Must change that.

bad food blog or is the food in england really as bad as reputed? ya gotta eat! it's all about food and urban planning - I love it (and you!)
Actually, the food is quite good, as promised by Ms. Foster. Most of the bad food I write about is American food transplanted. Tomorrow, when I finsih unpacking and find the camera hook up thingy, I will post a picture of the most incredible fruit and veggie store just down the road!
