On Saturday we visit one of our local bakeries and pick up a bag of leftover bread and cakes.
This week we got our #TooGoodToGo from the local co-op. All this for 19 kr (about 2.5 Euros)!
Too good to go has become a Danish institution. Reduce food waste, pick up some goodies, good for the planet, maybe not so good for my waistline!
"From shallow-fried potato #latkes to deep-fried jelly #doughnuts, traditional #Hanukkah foods hinge on oil. Typically falling in December, the #Jewish holiday, also called the Festival of Lights, celebrates the rededication of the Temple in #Jerusalem. As the story goes, the #Maccabees had enough oil to last just one night, but somehow, someway, it lasted for eight."
All the old family papers have funneled down to me now & there are occasional rewards for the work. For example, my great-great-grandmother's recipe for doughnuts.
"Best Doughnuts
by Mrs. J. Bennett
This recipe gave me the finest 'nuts' I ever ate; without the greasy taste that is so characteristic of this cake, as usually made.
1 cup sugar
1 cup sweet milk
3 eggs
3 level tsps baking powder
nutmeg and salt to taste
flour to make a soft dough

It’s the weekend and I got a bunch of heirloom apples in my fruit CSA so hello apple fritters! I doubled down on vegan-ness and on the apples by replacing the eggs with applesauce, made with a different heirloom apple from the CSA. #vegan#baking#donuts#doughnuts
Someone posted on another platform of their desire for #doughnuts to be made square-shaped. I replied that she clearly wasn’t in #Canada, since we do indeed have square doughnuts here (We also have round ones, before you ask). Here’s my favourite: the dutchie. #food#photography
Thanks to @chad I found out it's International Doughnut/Donut Day! Good thing I travelled down Waterloo Region's (unofficial) Doughnut Trail a couple of weeks ago to find some awesome independent doughnutteries.
