There was a lot of love in Monterey as 31 Bloughnut relatives descended for Grandma Edna's 100th birthday. Needless to say, there were numerous trips to the Grand Daddy donut shop of them all, Red's Donuts on Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey.
Dominating the counter with my brothers, nieces, nephew, and cousins was a truly holy experience. Our tally for Saturday morning was 8 maple bars, 1 chocolate cake, 3 chocolate cakes with sprinkles, 1 cinnamon roll (microwaved with butter), 1 chocolate custard bar (to go for mom), and 5 cartons of milk. Donut hangover!
Younger Brother and I brought Grandma a maple bar on the morning of her 100th birthday, 25 Jan. 2010. We love you Grandma!
For our next posting we will re-visit Colonial Donuts in Oakland near Lake Merritt. You will see the most perfect maple old-fashioned (which someday will be re-created in bronze as a hood ornament for my truck). Thanks for visiting.
