Oh well. We decided that in order to make the most of our day off, sugar would most definitely need to be involved. After perusing my stash of 'treats-to-make-someday' recipes we came up with the idea to make homemade doughnuts! Dal and I mixed up the dough while Kate was at school (yes, our preschool co-op will carry on, no matter what those yahoos at ASD20 say the weather is going to do!) Turns out, this recipe makes a LOT of doughnuts. I started making phone calls to round up some doughnut eating helpers.
We ended up with 2 dozen doughnuts, 2 dozen doughnut holes, 11 kids and 3 moms.And, lots of yum!
P.S. I followed the recipe linked above, but didn't make the glaze. Instead, we made a simple powdered sugar/milk/vanilla glaze and used chocolate syrup as another option. The kids also enjoyed 'topping' their treats with sprinkles, cinnamon sugar, coconut or chopped up chocolate chips.

Yu-um! This has been on our "make someday" list for a long time, too! Yours look awesome. Do you have an electric skillet to maintain the oil temperature? We don't...and that's what I worry about. Let me know how you did it.
Yummy! They look great.
Those look sooooo good, I just grabbed the recipe from the link. Once I'm allowed to eat sweet goodness like that again I'm so making them!
Yummy!! What a fun "snow day!!"
That is definitely the way to spend a snow day without snow! They look delish!
that's in my "treats-to-make-someday" stash too. maybe i'll get brave someday and actually do it. i've looked for those mini doughnut shapers like they have at the fair, but haven't found one. maybe i really shouldn't have one. it could be very dangerous, i think.
