Hoodies and Dinky Doughnuts

Saturday day morning this time of year means the farmer's market :) In the past I have either been at work or taking care of a new born and have not been able to attend but this year Maddie and I have been 5 times and today was Jeff's second time to go. It is in the middle of downtown which is all of a 2 minute drive (I know, we should probably just walk) and we have enjoyed it so much! Our weekly purchases include green beans, grass fed beef and the most wonderful freshly fried Dinky Doughnuts. These are the lightest, fluffiest doughnuts I have ever eaten! We've decided they are laced with crack and do not know what we will do without our fix after market season is over... I just might have to try my hand at homemade doughnuts. Every week I am trying something new that is sold there as well and this week it is garlic from a stand that sells about 25 different types... we'll see if it is worth the effort of using different kinds...?

There was a chill in the air this morning so we bundled Maddie Mae up a bit. Here she is with Jeff in their hoodies :) Every time we attempt to have a photo shoot for Jeff and Madeline we end up with some pretty rough weather (the first attempt there was a tornado). We hope to have some quality pictures of them to go on the wall next to the Mother's Day pics of Maddie and I soon.

How fun! I wish you could cook me a garlic and grass fed beef concoction! I know this is nothing like the doughnuts you are probably enjoying, but a really easy way to make them is to fry the canned biscuit dough. My dad would take the biscuit, cut the hole out with a medicine (prescription sized) bottle and fry them (make sure you flip them, they don't flip themselves). He would then toss them in a paper bag with powdered or cinnamon sugar. Again, not completely homemade or light and fluffy, but fun to do none the less!

Oh that sounds fun!! Our farmer's market is lame-o. Did you notice a difference in the garlic?
