I’m kind of late on this entry, but my family spent the fourth of July week in Carpinteria, CA, which is just south of Santa Barbara, about a hundred miles away from our house in Orange County. (This being Southern California, and Carpinteria being on the far side of L.A., distances can only be measured in miles, not hours.) On the way, we made a slight detour north, just past the most excellent town of San Dimas, to Glendora, a pretty little town with views of the San Gabriel Mountains . . . and a old-time roadside donut shop called The Donut Man. I thought we were making a big discovery, but The Donut Man has almost 11,000 Facebook fans, which is, um . . . a few more than I have.

Check! It! Out!

Yup, those are real strawberries. What a way to fill your daily fruit quota. Normally, I don’t even like donuts that much, but these are totally worth the guilt and unavoidable resulting sugar crash. They’re worth a detour, too.

As for this YouTube video, I’ve got two words: pastry porn.
