Just last week, Mr. Dessert For Two put his foot down. His size 14 boot slammed on the ground. Hey northern California, those weren’t earthquakes, that was Mr. Dessert For Two.
He was demanding to be allowed to cook dinner a few nights a week.
Um, hello perfect man I’ve been waiting for my entire life, have at it! You can dirty every dish, and I will love you even more for it. Bring it on!
He said “I know I’m slow in the kitchen, but please resist the urge to come in and do everything for me. You can show me how to chop an onion more efficiently, but please do not do it for me.”
Oh please. I can do that, right?
Wrong.
Apparently, I’m a bit of a bully in the kitchen. Ok, bully is putting is nicely. I’m a know-it-all. I’m the took-a-few-culinary-classes-on-the-weekend-therefore-I-know-everything type. Wow, I must be annoying.
Considering this man willingly eats every color of lentil I put in front of him and doesn't complain when I ruin a perfectly good biscuit or hoe cake recipe by subbing in whole wheat flour, I think he deserves some freedom in the kitchen. If only I knew how to bide my time while he cooks. Surely I could come up with something to do for the 3 hours while he ponders the meal, preps the ingredients, cooks, and serves. Yes, 3 hours. I think I’m being annoying again.
Maybe I can create more donut flavor combinations for y’all while he cooks? Sound fair?
This is my latest seasonal donut, and it fulfills my craving for nubby crunchy cornmeal and tart cranberries all in one.
In case you were wondering, we have confirmed the last wonder of our world: six donuts do in fact serve two people.
Happy cooking, man!
These glazed donuts are all kinds of delicious!
My donut pan is non-stick and is made by Wilton. Here’s an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Nonstick-6-Cavity-Donut-Pan/dp/B004CYELOQ
