I made More Donuts!

This time I made Krispy Kream Donuts
After letting the dough rise I rolled it out and cut the donuts.

It made 3 dozen donuts.

I love to eat the holes!

I made a variety of toppings.

I was creative and even made pudding filled donuts!

Sweet Potato Pie!

I love Sweet Potatoes... so here goes my first Sweet Potato Pie
First I mashed the yams and then put on a
layer of brown sugar and chopped pecans.
 Next I put in the marshmallows and
another layer of brown sugar and pecans.
 Here it is already to go into the oven.
Now my mouth is beginning to water!
Here it is hot out of the oven and only minutes from my tummy!

My Mother's Donuts

When I was a small boy, my mother made nearly 1000 donuts a day that we would go out and sell so our family could make ends meet. I have my mother's recipe. 
We got a wonderful Kitchenaid last month.
I just had to try out my mother's recipe!
I mixed and rolled it
Cups make a great cutter!
and a small prescription bottle cut out the centers nicely.
Ready for the fryer

SIZZLE SIZZLE
adding the glaze
Have to test it! YUM!
Yep!! Did it ALL myself!!
I think I get my son's approval!

My Cantaloupe Patch

I did not plant any cantaloupe this year!  I bought one at the store and after scraping out the seeds, I threw them on the ground along side of the swimming pool.  Next thing I knew I had cantaloupes growing all along the pool.  So we ate over 30 cantaloupes, up until the snow fell and froze the rest.
