You'll have to pardon me, but it is early morning out here, and I've just been reading the "Financial Post" which has a big article on the Krispy Kreme franchises of donut shops below the 49th parallel. My stomach yearns for something sweet to go with my morning Second Cup Paradiso Dark...

Though I have been to the 'States many, many times, I have yet to encounter a Krispy Kreme. But they are known to me, of course, from postings buried away in various of the foums on FlyerTalk.

So, I was wondering if any of you folks flying up for the weekend might consider smuggling in a box of your favourite (sealed in a plastic bag to protect their freshness on a two-day voyage) selections, so those of us less gourmet eaters might sample them at Saturday's tasting? I would be prepared to pick up a box of Tim Horton's (Canada's national donut chain) and we could do a cross-border taste-off!

Donuts, hmmmmmmm....
