Donut Mecca

Donuts.....mmmmm......

But let me preface this by saying Ron was going to play tennis this weekend but it rained and I took an incredibly challenging baby and mommy yoga class on Friday. I know what you're thinking- Mommy and baby yoga, how cute and playful, not challenging. Wrong!
In fact, it was more like yoga boot camp where we used our babies as free weights. Glad Summer's only 11lbs., 7 oz. I feel sorry for some of those moms who's babies are like in the 90th percentile for weight. I'm still in pain!

Anyway, now that I have painted us as the picture of good health, maybe we won't look so bad when I talk about the four donuts we scarfed down at the best donut place on earth. (Well at least in Santa Clara County.) We have been on a quest for donut bliss since we have moved to SCC, which has turned up nothing but stale, humdrum donuts. If I'm going to eat 1000 calories of fried, doughy goodness, dammit, it better be good!

I asked the man that would know where to find what we were looking for, my brother Tom, and he told us about Stan's Donuts on Homestead and Keily in Santa Clara. First of all we knew as soon as we drove up that this was the place. People of all ages and cultures gathered to taste the deliciousness. Even a very fit woman in a jogging suit couldn't turn these donuts down.

All the signs were there that this was going to be a good donut place. There was a guy in the window rolling out the dough, which means lots of donut turnover- fresh donuts!! There was an old school donut sign at the front so the same guy has probably owned it for years and takes pride in his donuts.

When we went inside there was a line of people waiting to get the donuts that were just coming out of the oven and a counter with a group of 60- something-year-old retirees that have probably been coming there since 1962. All the signs were pointing in the right direction that we were about to taste the best donuts ever!

We ordered our two hot raised glazed that just came out of the oven and 2 old fashions. And yes....they were deeeeeeeliciousss!! I'm sure we will be back!
