Donuts
What was your first experience with a donut? Can you remember what your favorite donut was? I grew up in South Texas, so my donut location of choice was always Shipleys Donuts. They had a huge selection of donuts, whether they be glazed, covered in sprinkles or filled with Bavarian cream, and I loved trying every one. As I got older, however, I began to enjoy eating baked donuts rather than fried ones. They were just as sugary and it was almost like eating a piece of cake for breakfast! Then I realized that they could be made at home, and with the quick and easy access to Pinterest, I could find just about any recipe for baked donuts that fit my taste specifications. In Australia, the most popular donut is the jam donut, which is a deep-fried donut filled with a red jam, usually strawberry or raspberry, and covered in cinnamon sugar. In Germany, jam-filled donuts are also very common and are called either a Berliner or Pfannkuchen (which can be misleading, as Pfannkichen literally translates to pancake). Many other countries have other variations, all fried or baked, frosted or filled, and all delicious and sweet. Although donuts dont have a specific history, they are found all over the world, but the typical donut you think of today is most popular in North America, with Canada as the highest donut consumers. Personally I enjoy a simple baked donut covered in cinnamon sugar. While there are dozens and dozens of different flavors, Im going to give you a cinnamon sugar donut recipe with a twist, and if you check out my blog, there might be a few more flavors to try!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 6-cavity donut pan (can be found at Target). In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, sugar, egg, milk and vanilla together until blended. Gently pour into the dry ingredients mixing well just until combined. Fold in the cinnamon chips, stirring just until they are fully incorporated. Bake in the oven for 10-11 minutes. While the donuts cool, melt the butter in one bowl. In another bowl, combine the sugars and cinnamon and mix well. When the donuts have cooled, dip one side in the melted butter and then into the cinnamon mixture. Best served warm.
Fire on Main
Theres fire on Main Street at Juan del Fuego, where Juan and Elayne Herrera are a couple of hot tamales cooking up Mexican fare that will knock your socks off. The Herreras opened up shop at 223 34th Ave., SWin the strip mall by Samsabout a year and a half ago. Juan is no stranger to cooking. Normanites will remember him from The Diner where he cooked for about 17 years. About 15 years ago, we really wanted to own our own spot, but chickened out, Elayne admits, adding that eventually, they decided to try our own thing. She said they were introduced to an interior designer in Oklahoma City who designs restaurants, and since Juan was used to working in an open kitchen and wanted an open feel, the designer helped come up with an idea that worked for the Herreras. Juan has always worked in an open kitchen. He likes that and people like to watch him, Elayne said. When people watch you, you can see that theyre hungry and it keeps us on our toes. We keep our kitchen clean, Im a stickler on that. The Herreras serve up made-from-scratch delights daily. Juan gets up and is at the restaurant by 5 AM, chopping and stirring and cooking up a variety of his own sauces including ranchero, green chili, salsa, rojo and poblano. Theres nobody who can chop like him, Elayne says of her husband. The Herreras make their own tortilla chips that Juan fries and to which he adds his special mix of spices. Elayne says fresh avocados are hand mashed on the spot to make guacamole so tasty it disappears in a flash. Juan says he likes to think all the dishes he prepares are his favorite. I like to make every one of them, he said. Jacques Ball, who refers to himself as a repeat customer, had a pork burrito while his wife, Monica Ball, took time out from eating her burrito covered with green chili sauce to say, Were big fans. Weve brought a couple of people here. And so they have. Friend, Michal Carson, tried a Fuego Tostada, which he described as being pretty good stuff. Its a little spicy. I like it. Another of the Balls friends, James Ho, was visiting from New York. He tried the green chili chicken enchilada, which he described as being quite good, adding, Im from Manhattan. They dont have good Mexican food there. This is quite good. But lunch fare isnt all Juan and Elayne serve up. There are pancakes, omelets, enchiladas, burgers and tamales all on one grill. But dont worry; Elayne says Juan keeps it all separated. There are vegetarian options, too, with vegetable omelets, salads and rice. Juan says the best thing about owning his own restaurant is just waking up and knowing that you have a place to work. It comes with lots of responsibility. You have to keep it up and have to enjoy what you do. The pair enjoys what they do, and theyre grateful. Thanks to all the customers who have followed us for years, Juan said. On the weekends, we get pretty busy and its just Elaine and me in the back. We appreciate your patience on the weekends. Weve been fortunate. Were doing well so far. I enjoy every day of it. Elayne echoes her husband of 23 years sentiment. Weve been fortunate. We just keep working, him and I. Juans really good at what he does. I try to keep up with him, Elayne said, adding, We know staying busy keeps you live and gives you something to live for. Cooking is his passion. He even makes the best dang coffee. He has a touch with everything. He puts flavor in, he takes his time; he doesnt just throw it together. The pair serves up breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Sunday from 7 AM to 2 PM, and they plan to keep chopping, stirring, cooking and serving up the fire to their customers for a long time to come. For more information, stop by the store or visit Juan del Fuego on Facebook.

When the temperature rises in Norman, theres one cool place to chill out. Eskimo Sno serves up hand-mixed shaved ice treats in four locations around Norman. No matter which of the four locations patrons visit, tasty treats await. Josh Crain, customer and owner of Think Ink on Lindsey Street, is a regular. He says he comes to the Lindsey Street hut a few times a week to get his favorite flavor, Tigers Blood. Using a Charlie Sheen reference, Crain says Tigers Blood tastes like winning. More people I know go for Tigers Blood. Once you try it, you never go back. Crain may be on to something because many people who visited the stand did, in fact, order Tigers Blood. But it is by no means the only flavor. Meghan Quick, first-time customer, tried the pia colada and described it as being sweet, but not too sweet. Amelia Schoenhals gave the strawberry with a twist of lime a go and said it was really good. Like a strawberry limeade. With a grin, Christian Dixon, hut attendant, asks customers, What size can I get started for you? To make one of his cool treats, he said he starts by putting a 10-pound block of ice into an ice-shaving machine. Next, a sour straw goes in a cup. Shaved ice is piled high in the cup and then the flavorings are added. I love it, Dixon said of his job. Its a lot like being a bartender, but for sno cones. Its a lot of fun to interact with a lot of people. Dixon said prior to this job, he worked in customer service at a bank. Nobody is happy to call the bank, but people are happy to get a sno cone, he quipped. With prices ranging from $1.25 for an eight-ounce treat to $3.50 for a 32-ounce jumbo, Eskimo Sno is easy on the pocketbook. Customers can choose any one of the pre-mixed flavors or create their own. Any order can be topped with fresh lime, condensed milk, sour spray or marshmallow. And Eskimo Sno goes on the road. The Facebook page encourages booking ahead to have the Eskimo Sno To Go Mobile Trailer or the Eskimo SnoMobile at events, parties or fundraisers. Eskimo Sno makes good shaved ice from Hawaii, Adrian Buendia, owner, said. We put out a good product and weve been doing it for lots of years. Buendia said the best thing about his family-owned business is the happy faces we see every summer. The anticipation of getting shaved ice. We see the same families year after year. Ive seen the same kids come since they were in high school and now theyre bringing their kids.
