Hot oil scares me, too! I’ve never fried anything in my kitchen before, well, deep-fried, that is. I think you’ve inspired me to give it a try. Your beignets look fabulous! And, how I love beignets!! I’m definitely going to have to try my hand at this frying thing. Hope you’re well-rested and no longer in pain

They look really good! They are on my to-do list, I hope to follow in your footsteps soon (minus the painful events)

Gadfry why does flying or is that frying have to be such an incredible story. Our last flight was such a joy – NOT or is that knot.
At any rate these beignets look like heaven so it would seem the landing was fabulous!

Nobody needs a day like that. I would not, however, have the energy to do anything in my kitchen after experiencing what you did.

I’m actually scared of deep frying anything, so I rarely do it. If I do, I use small and tall pan, and fry what ever it is one by one. It takes longer, but at least I feel safer and don’t have any splatter everywhere. I might do the same if I make this beignet. They look delicious despite of your lack of energy. Hope you will be able to sleep well after having one or two of this beignet.
Cheers,

Oh my gosh, honey. I hope you didn’t burn your flesh, ignite the innocent bystander, or burn down the kitchen. Seriously, there’s a reason I rarely fry food: I’ve seen horrible kitchen fires and a few scars. Please tell us that you are okay and that the nightmare of the homeward travels are very much behind you. Until then, rest and restore that beautiful soul of yours.

This is not how things work for me. When I’m in a bad way, anything I attempt in the kitchen does NOT work out for me. I’m happy that you had success!

As the culinarian Homer Simpson once said: ” Doughnuts! . . . is there anything they can’t do?

Sometimes the best way to recover from a rough day is to make something really really really devilish!!! I spent New Years Eve making doughnuts and then I consumed them one by one ALL NIGHT whilst everyone else was beginning to make dietary promises!! muahhaha! Hope the rest of your week cheers up.

Sorry about your bad experience – at least these look great! I’m sad I missed the conference this past weekend especially since I’m going to Seattle tonight for a week!
