Dinner last night was an Omaha Steak I cooked in the Air Fryer (http://www.powerairfryer.com/) with a
drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of garlic salt, 15 minutes at 370º. The
green beans are something new, from Schwans (http://www.schwans.com/).... they come in a
steamer bag, frozen, and you just put them in the microwave for a few minutes
and VOILA ! Really good!!!!
I am loving everything I have gotten from Schwans, like I love Omaha
Steaks. Their ham and cheese omelett cookes from being frozen for 2 minutes in
the micro and they are GOOD!!!!
Here is the little deer that was munching the grape leaves outside my

National Jelly Filled Donut Day
Spell It Doughnut Or Donut, Just Spell It Delicious
(Krispy Kreme
glazed raspberry filled donut!!! OMG!)
Introduction: Doughnut History
A doughnut is a
pastry, a small, fried ring of sweet, leavened dough.
Doughnuts leavened with baking powder are
more dense than the fluffier, yeast-leavened
doughnuts.
There are many
types of doughnuts. Just a few examples include bismarks or jelly doughnuts,
raised doughnuts leavened with yeast, squares and twists, crullers made from
twisted cake-doughnut dough and French doughnuts made with cream-puff pastry
dough. Doughnuts can be filled or unfilled, plain, glazed or iced.
Originally a Dutch
recipe without a hole, the dough is dropped into hot oil, and was originally
called an olykoek, or oily cake. The first written reference to “doughnut” is in
Washington Irving’s 1809 in History of New York, where he writes of “balls of
sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat, and called doughnuts, or olykoeks.” The
first known printed record of the shortened “donut” appears in “Peck’s Bad Boy
And His Pa,” a story by George W. Peck published in 1900.
As the story goes, in 1847, 16-year-old American Hanson Gregory created the hole in the center of the doughnut. He used the top of a round tin pepper container to punch the holes, so the dough would cook evenly.
