“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 645 (Tuesday)

The sweat shop sweet shop was in operation again tonight. Oy. Two recipes were on the docket, but that was a bit ambitious and only one was done. It turns out that frying a zillion small donut holes after waiting for the dough to chill for two hours takes a long time. 

The dough was mixed and set to chill, which gave me time to go to the store for small ziploc bags and a frozen pizza for supper. The pizza cooked and half was eaten. A few minutes was spent on the puzzle, and then it back to work. The table needed clearing and cleaning, and then it was dough rolling time. The plan was to use the hole cutter part of the donut cutter, and make as many holes as the dough would allow. 

Many batches of 18 to 24 holes were fried. The hard part was turning them for even cooking, but the metal pasta scoop is pretty good for flipping them and then scooping them out. 

My skin is glowing with the steamy mist of the oil and has never felt so moisturized. The other hard part was not tripping over Winston. The break in routine with me in the kitchen instead of with him on the couch had him napping nearby on the small rug in front of the sink.

Six dozen donut holes were packaged to go into 12 gift bags for tomorrow, along with the four recipes made earlier this week. There are still holes to be packed for other gifts, but for now, its time for a break. After the frying and packaging, there was no time left to make anything else. There is always tomorrow night. Or not.
