What a lovely post. I get so lonely being the only housewife I know, and I will build my whole day around the school run, or a trip to the supermarket. I can’t even imagine not having that. x

And we put one aside for her dad . . .

Oh, for the day I get one doughnut from the dozen brought home. They’re usually ancient history by the time I even notice the box from the bakers. Of course, that’s to be expected with my brood.

Cheers.

I actually prefer caramaliszed leeks and when they have cooked, add a small knob of butter, a teaspoon of sugar and turn up the heat for a few minutes while I serve everything else up!! YUM.

Caramelized leeks are good – we’ve had them once or twice too. I’ve never made doughnuts before though.
Cooking is a great thing for one foot in front of ht eother forward motion – I’m getting myslef going with baking the Christmas cake this weekend – before December for once.

Good to see you back on line. Doughnuts look good – much better than the tasteless stale ones you get here in the supermaket. I could not agree more – it is important to keep busy, esp doing creative things, in order to keep the demons at bay!

You brought back memories of the days when I made doughnuts with my mammy. She was also fond of accidental caramalisation too!

Cooked with love trumps accidental caramalisation any day.

They look great. And not to jump on a bandwagon because our lives are so very different, but I know that feeling of keeping moving to prevent stasis so well…
