KD's Nuts

Anyone of you guys that live in the South Bay and are familiar with the western half of Chula Vista might have seen this sign located on the corner of Palomar and 3rd...(it's right across from Gunco Ramen/Kanpai, El Dorado Mexican restaurant, and slightly north of Seafood City)...it never fails to make me laugh and unleash my inner Beavis and Butthead.

After TC and I had lunch at Dona's (that's how it's spelled on their sign but their receipt reads as "Donna's") and picked up paletas at Oasis, we headed home. In doing so, we took the scenic route and lo and behold, the sign was calling out to me. I thought to myself, "Hmmm, we always laugh at this sign but have never tried donuts here. Today may as well be the day."

It's your basic no frills donut shop; KD's was manned by a really nice Asian lady the day of our visit. Since Bert was gone in Texas, we only ordered a half dozen (which cost almost as much as a dozen). I didn't think we could finish a dozen by ourselves. I'm not much of a donut person but sigh, the things I do for the blog...ha ha.

I'm instantly reminded of my parents' family room, with the 70's wood paneling and such (although they don't hang completed puzzles).

This was part of the sugared twist I got...It tasted okay, but not spectacular.

Here are the rest of the donuts at home. You can see some of the vintage plates with either turned over crystal cups or candle sticks as makeshift cakestands.  Earlier that month, I went on a thrift store shopping spree and bought up a bunch of plates, candlesticks, and glasses to hoard for future gifts (Christmas,birthdays, Seceretary's week, etc).

Here's another view of the donuts but this time, in a plastic container. I bought two twists (the sugar and chocolat), a chocolate old fashioned, a buttermilk bar, a coconut cake donut and one with Sprinkles that we nicknamed "Lardboy" (after the donut mascot in "The Simpsons", except the real lardboy donut would be pink). They may look good, but they really didn't taste all that good. The chocolate was really thin and tasted artificial. In fact, the chocolate melted easily and slid off the donut, making it look like a disgusting greasy mess. I regretted buying these and ended up tossing most of them.

Sorry KD's Nuts, I don't think I'll be coming back here again...
