Oh those beautiful, delectable, pieces of fried, sugared, dough! Heidi & I (minus our third culinary-musketeer Candace) had never made doughnuts before, but took on the challenge. They turned out rather well and .....rather tasty! Sadly, there were some victims of our green-baking thumb. My slotted spoon melted (it's amazing how hot oil can get) and my candy thermometer. While fishing out the last doughnut hole I wondered why there was red liquid swirling in the oil and then it hit me....the candy thermometer! Popped, cracked...died. But the doughnuts in the end were well worth it! Yummy!

Holy cow! I can't believe it burst your candy thermometer, those things are supposed to withstand hardcore heat. That's definitely impressive.
Oh heavens, I am addicted to sugary splendor right now! That top right one is especially calling for me! You ladies are amazing!
Mmmm... Doughnuts... (think Homer) :)
OH my goodness! You are BRAVE to make dounuts! I wish you could bring them to my house; I have been spending too much on them lately because I crave them. I have only melted one slotted spoon and it was when I was trying to cook cellophane noodles for chinese food.
