I found some holes, corks, pillows and triangles in my kitchen...



This is how I have interpreted my questfor a good doughnut recipe. It came out not as perfect but palatable. Not to mention popular dougnutbrands but I'm almost there. I think I will stick to the 3 things I like in a dougnut soft, frosted on the outside withwith a little bite and that strong vanilla or coffee aroma, ummm that is a real doughnut for me. I love to fry once in while when I got no gas for my oven, just kidding but it was such a joy to make this recipe.

Well, I think it is important to utilize the dough and trimmings for one person to say that I never waste anything whenI cook or bake. On the photos shown above, there I have cut the round doughnuts with the hole from the middle, the "cork"I called to describe the middle hole that I took out, the "pillows" from which the round ones are cut out and yes there were "triangles" that I got from the trimmings.

I simpy glazed this with a mixture of milk and powdered sugar. Let them set and served it warm. People from the house liked it and that is my only fuel for trying new things in my kitchen...

I c e C r e a m please...

My son, always when visiting my aunt's house who is also a neighbor would ask for a bowl of cream. I guess that is instant recall for him, that everytime he comes to the house , autamitcally, ice cream please is what he utters. I took a shot of this beautiful bowl of strawberry ice cream by the window while watching my son indulge on this cool treat. Well I just have to find time to make homemade ice cream. I wish I can serve him this flavor. Yummy...
