Reclaiming my Sundays
Going up Grand over the hills and far away,
you come across the Stater Bros Plaza on your right side, and in it is Manna Donuts, a 24 hour donut shop that also serves sandwiches.
Bought a dozen for $6.50 to bring into work. Why? Because today is my last day working Sundays, and I wanted to celebrate. Props to all those that work every day. I just couldn't do it anymore and needed one day off the week to recoup. Jelly, crumb, maple bar, chocolate bar, glazed twist, and two rainbow sprinkles. They are not stingy w/ the jelly and use better quality stuff that actually tastes like raspberry instead of syrup. I'm also a fan of their maple bars. Their cake donuts are delicious. None of their donuts(at least the ones I've tried) are overly oily.
I also ordered the tuna sandwich for lunch (no picture sorry) for $4 bucks. You get a choice of a sub or croissant and I chose the sub. It's definitely a fatty sandwich on a somewhat airy piece of bread(I wonder if they make their own here), and the tuna salad was plain along w/ all the standard lettuce tomato, etc. A good sandwich for what you pay, but I would have appreciated some chopped onions and celery in my salad.
Overall a pretty good donut shop that also gets +1 star for being 24 hours and serving sandwiches.
My new addiction/upper to keep me going in the mornings. It's not too sweet and has a sort of plant-y (I know that's not a word, but I can't find the right word to really describe the taste) and herby flavor mixed in w/ whatever one you get. The original is fine w/ me although here I have the passion fruit and pomegranate flavors. I try to switch it up. I find that for myself it gives me just the right amount of the caffeine kick I need to stay awake in class. How do you stay up w/o caffeine or any drug? I'm always tired and need to find healthier alternatives to stay awake.
*Just looked up the key ingredients in the Passion flavor: catuaba and damiana. These herbs have a variety of remedial claims, one of them being an aphrodisiac, hence the name "Passion."
Sundays come and go too quickly. Time to enter the rat race once again.
2 rah rah rahs:
Those donuts would go really well with my coffee right now. Cake donuts are my favorite.
Glad you're getting your Sundays back. Gives you a change to recoop, good for the body and the mind.
When I was in school, I used to take little naps between classes, even 10 minutes helped me get through the day/evening. They add up. Cramming for tests, I took 45 minutes naps every few hours. No more than 45 min for me or else I'd never wake up! hehe.
Oh, I forgot to mention one other thing. I gave up booze until after finals. I think that made a big difference but I know it isn't for everyone. ;-)
