There is something so refreshing about eating from a tray. In this crazy go-go world we are often encouraged to be constantly moving. It is a rare occurrence when one is offered the chance to sit for a spell and just relax. I recently had the opportunity at the excellent Demet's Donuts. The Mrs. and I wandered into this wonderful little shop a little bit after noon on a Saturday. Boy, were we lucky we got there when we did! Demet's donut supply was nearly depleted! Shelf after shelf sat empty, a few remaining crumbs all that was left of the splendor that had once occupied them. My options being limited to a jelly, a honey glazed and a partially dismantled cruller I chose the first two. The kind woman behind the counter asked if it was for there or to go. I explained to her that I wished to eat them on the premises. It was at that moment the tray made it's appearance. Memories of school lunches came rushing back. Of accidentally thrown away retainers and my beloved Taco Day Thursdays at my old high school. Sitting down with a tray containing what was surely the last two whole donuts of the day, I was met with a feeling of elation. A small victory had happened, it was clear to all who were present. And the donut, you ask. How were the donuts? Heaven on earth! They were both surprisingly fluffy on the inside. The jelly one had easily a 3/4 of an inch of donut between the jelly center and the outer edge. Demet's coffee made for an excellent counterpart to their fantastic donuts. I can easily recommend either sitting for a spell at Demet's or if you a hosting a dinner party bringing some home as an after dinner treat!
