Adventures in Cooking: Doughnuts

"Your doughnuts make me go nuts!!!"

I'm not sure how we got on the subject today, but it ended in a pretty severe craving for doughnuts. It may have come from a discussion about cravings, in which I described my inadequate breakfast the other day, and how I feared I would only be satisfied by a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwiched between two chocolate frosted doughnuts. The discussion ended as many do, with a comment of "I/You could totally do that."

Challenge accepted.

Please note: I had to walk PAST Dunkin' Donuts to get to the grocery store to get the ingredients to make doughnuts. That's how hardcore I am.

(I cut it in half to start)

I didn't have a "doughnut cutter", so I used a margarita glass and a shot glass! At least they're being used for something!

I also learned 1) how to use a candy thermometer, and 2) that I actually had a candy thermometer in my drawer.

Donuts are for people who don't want to admit they're eating cake for breakfast.
