BLUE STAR DONUTS

... the morning began with a voice mail message from a friend advising of a new Portland, OR based donut shop that had just opened on Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, Calif!.. and that they were giving away FREE DONUTS until approx. 1 pm !!!  Adjusting my schedule... I proceeded to Venice post haste...

Blue Star Donuts Reconn...

And the winner is... REAL MAPLE BACON!...

Many Thanks to my friend who shall remain nameless and who made two disclaimers that she is "not a donut person"...  yeah, right!...  :-)

Topped it off with a Iced Vanilla Latte at the nearby TOMS (shoes) ROASTING CO. ... which is apparently the "millennial hang out" where you can get a latte, sunglasses, shoes, a t-shirt and wifi...

Abbot Kinney is worth a visit as it has lots of shops and cafes... plus a new donut shop!  :-)
