The caffeinated donut

From the annals of the excellent Ink-Stained Banana, news that a scientist has created a way to add caffeine to baked goods.

GOD BLESS SCIENCE. From whence all good things come.

There was already a way to add caffine to baked goods. It's called chocolate, silly.

Well, that is about as handy as caffeinated beer. Get drunk and stay awake to be a witness to your own inebriation.

I am concerned that the cops will be on a hair-trigger.

there's a chocolate stout the local brewery makes which is fabulous. Though I'm still mostly partial to John Harvard's Milk Stout. As weird as that sounds.

Today I shall be carting around small paper trick o teat bags filled with my favorite variety of caffeine, dark chocolate pastels w/ chipotle and smoked sea salt.

I have to make new friends you see, and well, offering a bit of mayhem in such a small mouthful seems to be the best way to go. Like a Jelly Baby, only evil and sexy.

However a caffeinated donut seems to be an ideal solution to my spouse's late snoozing. Have to get it into him first though....

If you can bring me some of that beer Xk, (if you can get it across the border), and your first taste of Quebecois cuisine, is on me. Take your pick.

I also know a place for momos and butter tea, I was wondering if you'd be interested in. Those are not native to Montreal, however.

Mmm, butter tea. It's an acquired taste. I doubt very much if it is made with traditional yak butter.

You can already add instant coffee/coffee powder to just about any cake recipe, and in most it's pretty easy to replace water with already-made-up coffee or tea. Does this not make the resulting cake/bread/etc caffeinated (because the baking process denatures the caffeine, or something), or is the point that this process enables you to make "baked goods" caffeinated without them being coffee-flavoured?

And aren't doughnuts fried, as opposed to baked?

Slowly but surely caffeine continues its plan of trying to kill me by putting it in everything. I can hear my heart crying.

Tears of mortal joy.

You know I can't have caffeine.

Vodka Redbull anyone?
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh

Yeah, it's a big "ewwwww" on that, too. Though if they ever invent decaffeinated Red Bull, I will buy it because I hear it tastes like SweeTarts and I love me some SweeTarts.

Yeah nataraja, the idea seems to be that he has come up with a way to chemically "mask" that "bitter coffee taste", that I personally love so much. It doesn't sound particularly healthy to me...

But what's wrong with a coffee-flavoured doughnut?

Yes it is vile, vile stuff. Luckily now that I am older and wiser I only caffeinate myself with the good stuff like Rocket Fuel coffee (which is ground coffee with added guarana). Kung hao!

Finding new ways to jack people up on stimulants by stuffing them into otherwise innocuous foods usually isn't, but that's not the point.

Scotch and Redbull is quite tasty. It's been the only thing to keep me going on a few late evenings...

I don't find the stimulants objectionable (on the contrary). Just masking their delicious bitter burnt midnight taste with supressant chemicals.
