Try this! :: Donna's Jam Doughnuts

When I saw the front cover of the latest Donna Hay magazine, sporting some yummy looking jam doughnuts, I thought of my friend Shelley straight away.  She  l o v e s  jam doughnuts and who better to make them for than a die-hard fan?

 So, my friend Rinny and I made the dough earlier that day.  Then after dinner, Rinny was in charge of the deep frying (she is the most responsible and steady under pressure - must come with being a nurse!), Shelley was in charge of taking photos, and I assembled. 


Dough ready for deep frying




In the hot oil




Ready for sugar and jam injection!



Slicing an opening for the piping bag

Squeezing in raspberry jam



Ooops, perhaps too much jam




First one to Shelley




But there were plenty to go around

 We were well rewarded for our efforts!

Ooo, I want!

Are you a 'List Person'? 

I am. 

I keep lists.

I like to write in lists. 

Bit irratic

Makes sense to me, but

My latest list is- Oooo I Want! (Just want- can't justify the buy)

Le Chasseur Oven in cream or citrus

Heavy little buggers but I love that they can go from stove to oven plus look good.  Cream is the safe colour, but what do you think of citrus? Oooo ooo ooo or pistachio?!

Then comes the freezer chest (no particular make)

coffee table (yet truly discover one Rick and I can agree on!)

Dream House (can't show you this as it is all in my dreams.  Will do a collage of rooms collected from magazines from over the years one day!)

And of course the Ninjabread Men Cutters that NO ONE got me for Christmas! :-) see here

Plus plenty more depending on the mood or room I am in!

When I dwell on this list, I feel poor!  But I have discovered the quickest way to get rich is to stop wanting so much!  So I only think about this list when I don't mind feeling poor.  Before you go touting me as materialistic, I do dwell on other things too!  Ah ah!  I just thought of another list:  Things I Dwell On (you might not find that list so interesting!  I guess the crux of it will be evident in this blog anyway!!)

What's on your 'Oooo I Want!' list?
