The Best Donut in East Bay

Yesterday at the checkout line at Monterrey Market I tried to break up my Ben Franklin. The cashier asked me, "Did you make this at home. That's pretty good."

The lightest non greasiest donuts are from Donut Time in El Cerrito next to Marshalls on San Pablo. The shop is a time warp back into 80's just like Genki Sushi. I always try to limit myself to one treat and today I went for it. Bavarian creme donut with chocolate glaze. I normally get the old fashioned no glaze cake kind but the yellow dot squirting out the end hooked me somehow. Donut creme, I doubt it has milk products in it, is like a sweet mayonnaise. It was fantastic. And now I'm dying for another donut fix.

C and I made giant batches of organic granola. You have to do it at least once if you live in Berkeley. I made mine quite fancy with dried cherries, cranberries, apricots and Brazil nuts. C stuck to the oat and almond formula. I guess I'd better have just a bowl or granola. No donut is better than a stale greasy donut found at past 11 on a Sunday night.
