Cookin' Donuts

I hate fried food (preparing it). My husband loves fried food. Do you see a problem here? We've come to a nice compromise in the almost 12 years we've been together - no fried food prepared in the house unless I'm gone and there's no mess when I get home. Don't you just love how compromise works around here? Anyhow, I had an entire day of scrapbooking planned today, so yesterday when I asked Ed what he wanted from the grocery store, his eyes lit up and he requested "oil and biscuits". I knew what this meant - "cookin' donuts" for breakfast. These are donuts Ed used to make in his bachelor days. In a nutshell, you take biscuit dough, roll it into balls, deep fat fry them, roll them in cinnamon/sugar and you have "cookin' donuts".

So, this morning before I left, Ed and Ethan were digging back in the far corner of our kitchen cabinets where the Fry Daddy lives. As much as I hate the smell of fried food, I couldn't resist staying around to snap a few pics of Ethan helping Dad with the donuts. I have more pics, but Blogger is being temperamental and will only let me download one at the moment. I'll work on this when I'm not so tired. So check back later!

Looks like you might soon be outnumbered on the fried food thing...lucky for you "the wife's rules rule" and you still have Abby to join your cause...make sure Ethan and dad don't sway her.

Hi Renee, I just sent you a email on how to setup email subscription to your blog. Good luck.

Yes, I'm very outnumbered on the fried food thing. They made more donuts this morning (there was biscuits left over and we can't let them go to waste....) and when Abby got up she had some, looked at me and said "ummmm, these are REALLY good Mommy".

Thanks for the info Ullas - I'm still trying to figure out how all of this works:)
