National Donut Day!

Woot!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

National Donut Day!

Post by Laura Ingalls »

That's right, today was National Donut Day! \:D/ Did anybody avail themselves of all the free donut offers out there?

Since I was already in the kitchen baking today, I decided to make some myself! :dance:

I didn't mean to make that many, but I mistakenly doubled the amount of yeast and had to double the rest of the ingredients. O:)

If you started a bake shop and you opened it next door to me, I definitely wouldn't have forgot about donut day. Ever.

Mmm, the chocolate ones with the sprinkles look especially delicious! \:D/

I would have loved to make donuts, but my mom's doesn't especially like it when I deep-fry things. I didn't really want to press my request to make them on her, as she's already being very lenient with my experimenting in the kitchen.

Hahaha! I hate it when that happens, but somehow the rest of the family never seems to mind. :D There was one time one of our aunts accidentally quadrupled her whoopi pie recipe...oops

I thought about going to Dunkin' Doughnuts...but in the end I just thought about it. :anxious: (I had been eating a lot of candy and sweet stuff...but mostly candy...this past semester and last week I decided to just go cold turkey and kick the candy/sweets for a while.)

Laura, those doughnuts look amazing!! They are also presented very nicely too!! =D>
