Speak Your Mind.

KIDS.............geessshhh!

So, wadda ya wanna be when ya grows up?

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

(it's those 'tweener years that give parents white hair)

Ok...I'll bite.

Why the two changes?

Avacado oil is a pricey oil for deep frying...as a flavoring ingredient I can see...but for deep frying I'm not sure what improvement it's going to provide.

And dark karo syrup? Why the change there?

Avocado is more healthy (according to my VA Dr.) and Dark Kayro has a richer flavor. It's just a suggestion/thought.


You can buy Microwave Popcorn in Avocado Oil at Walmart and others Stores I guess. It is really good.

I need to know.......
is this special type of yeast?
I usually use active dry like this:


is that it, or is "low moisture dough yest" something different?

It's different...

It usually comes in a gold foil of some sort.



There's another by saff that claims it does the same thing but I used this one.

When bread dough has a high sugar content it binds up the water and makes it unusable for the yeast to activate... making your proof time so long that it's untenable.

Between the sugar in the milk and the sugar the recipe requires...it's over 10% of the weight of the flour. So a special yeast is needed.

The one I pictured is available from Amazon and isn't as expensive as most of them are. It's not really expensive at all. I think $11/lb. Including shipping. (Amazon prime)

There's enough yeast there to make 38 batches of donuts. That's actually cheaper in price than the packets you are showing. And it will work with normal bread making as well.

Also...
If you aren't going to use so much in a reasonable amount of time. Put the yeast in the deep freezer inside of a ziploc bag and sealed up good. It will keep longer. Dried goods stay good for a year... usually. Longer than that and it might not work out.

Psalms 27:1) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

and here I thought it was Saturday morning cartoons........

Coffee and chocolate are both made from beans.
Beans are vegetables.
Beans are good for you.

So how can anyone say that chocolate and coffee are bad for you?

A day late and a nickel richer

Beans are legumes A peanut is a legume, also

Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, beans, peas, chickpeas,
lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, soybeans, peanuts, and tamarind

quiet in here today eh?

Well, definitely have enough people in my house to feed them to
um, do the y HAVE to be eaten right away, or will they be alright if they sit for a while
(like if I make them before everyones up will they be okay sitting for a while?)

Yes...
Not a problem whatsoever.
They last a couple of days...might want to give them a few seconds in the microwave on the two day old.

They lasted a bit longer in my house because it's just me and my wife here and I'm trying to do some push backs and get ready to go back to work. (Gotten fat during the pandemic) so I'm currently cutting way back on what I eat so I can exercise when it warms up.

But I'd limit myself to two donuts and 4 holes each day.
My wife limited herself to four...and the recipe makes two dozen.

Around day four or so zapping them in the microwave wasn't effective...so I pitched them.

We have five days total lockdown sprung on us today. Came out of nowhere. Someone did not quarantine and spread it.

So sorry...
My son had to do that. Got all over it and then popped his knee. So he is getting braces and all that stuff.
