Apple Fritters

I can't remember how or why it all started, but a few weeks ago, I started to have a craving for a donut. And, not just any donut. I really wanted an Apple Fritter. I haven't had an apple fritter in a long time - possibly years. It just sounded really, really good!

This information went public sometime last week when I had my Facebook status read:

Trina is craving a donut. An Apple Fritter to be exact

I recently reconnected with my friend, Judy, from high school. It turns out that she lived in SF for a long time, and moved to Oakland a few years ago. It also turns out that she also happens to love apple fritters.

Judy responded to my Facebook status, mentioning our mutual love for fritters. That's' when I suggested that we meet for apple fritters! What better way or place to reconnect with an old friend, than in some random donut shop, eating fritters!

Judy was just as excited as I was: we made a date to meet this morning at 10:00am at Bob's Donut & Pastry Shop on Polk Street. I used to live near this place, but never went in (I can't imagine why). I read a lot of reviews, and everyone raved about their donuts, specifically, their apple fritters!

So, Judy and I met this morning at 10:00. It's the first time that we'd seen each other in almost 22 years! WOW!

Trina & Judy together again, after 21 years!

We had a great time. She brought her 2-year old son, who seemed to enjoy eating donuts as much as we did. We attempted to catch each other up on the last 22 years, which was great fun, but we agreed that we'll have to make a routine of this, so we can really have sufficient time to catch up. :)

Oh, and the apple fritter did not disappoint. In true Trina fashion, I was too busy yapping to eat very much, but what I did eat was perfectly divine. I brought the rest of it home with me, and will enjoy it this afternoon.

Since I was in the neighborhood, I decided to drop in to U-Lee to visit my friends, (and owners of the restaurant) Judy and Ken. I placed my order to go, but had a really nice time chatting with them, while they prepared my food.

It was a morning of pure decadence: an apple fritter, followed by pot stickers and tomato beef curry chow mein from U-Lee. It was also (and more importantly) a really wonderful day for me to see old friends.

I just realized that I saw two friends named "Judy" today! That's a fun coincidence!
