Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
This is my second attempt at pie.
It has been confirmed.
I suck at making pies.
Tom may disagree.
But, he is not the one that has to fight and shout at the stupid pie dough when it comes out of the resting stage in the refrigerator, and instead of being nice and pliable and smooth and silky when rolling out, I get a sticky, temperamental dough.
I hate PIE CRUST.
I’m 2 to 0 and piecrust is winning it.
Beating my ass, if I’m ever truthful.
Yes, this is a double whammy because you are getting another donut post. After Tom laid praises on the Sweet Potato Donuts, I made the mistake of telling him, that the Bombolini would have been ten times better and he totally dared me to prove it.
He knows I cannot resist dates. And I totally fell for it too.
I still stand behind my statement before that donuts are not one of my favorite sweets. But the Bombolini holds a special place in my taste memory.
See, I have been eating these pillows of fried dough, filled with cream, since I can remember. In Venezuela, my mother would buy a big bag of them as a special treat from our local bakery as I was growing up. My sister and I would gobble them up in seconds, licking our sugar-coated fingers and then wait patiently for the next special occasion to have them.
We all need our veggies, especially someone like me that unfortunately does not eat enough of them.
Do have a favorite veggie? I think I pretty much like all with the exception of brussel sprouts - we just cannot seem to get onboard with each other.
If there is a favorite I will have to say carrots. I like them raw, cooked, in salads, cakes, dipped in anything. The same goes for zucchini, which I love grilled with a splash of olive oil and some chopped herbs.
A couple of weeks back I gave Heidi Swanson Sunburst Carrot Salad recipe a try out in my kitchen. It was part of our Gutsy Cook menu options and I had all the ingredients at hand.
