Mystery of Doughnuts

Its already 3 in the afternoon, time for meryienda and to relax in a short while. Time to eat my snacks, and what I have here is my favorite meryienda,....doughnut. Doughnut is a dessert-like sweet made from deep fried dough.

I eat a lot of it, I even eat it at breakfast or as a midnight snack. Its really yummy and really satisfied my taste bud. Anyway have you guys ever become curious why does a doughnut have a hole in the middle? Well, when I was young I used to asked my mom about it, though never answered me. So I search it myself,..

Some said that it is needed to conserve the dough, it was cut out in the middle to reused for making more doughnuts. They also said that this is made for us for easy holding. But I think the best answer I've heard(the right one as well, I guess) is to cook it more evenly. It was said that this is the real purpose of making a hole in the middle. Because without the hole it will end up with either a ball that is raw in the middle or overcooked on the outside.

Though whatever the reason is it doesn't matter really, doughnut will still be my favorite...harhar ^^,

Extraordinary Dessert

Its been a while since I posted here, its been a long vacation for everyone and I really had fun. I always looking forward for holidays .. (haha^^)...

It was a memorable break because I used to attend 3 parties within a week. Its kinda tiring though I really enjoyed it, two for my cousins despedida and a family reunion, the third one is a friends gathering. My get together with my family was the most memorable, all were there and complete, even my aunties and uncles from abroad was able to went home just to celebrate with us.

Everything was perfect, the place was classic, and very impressive just suites for the event, and specially the food, its something that I'm looking forward with any celebrations:D ...My aunt rent for a food caterer and the food was awesome, all was mouth watering, and something that you'll want to ask for more...:) specially the desserts...there are 3, though there's one that until now I can still taste it with my mouth - the Mochi, its a popular japanese snack! The one I tasted was much different from the original one, its a chocolate-filled Mochi and I love chocolates!

Oh..I really enjoyed the vacation and hope everyone also had a happy holidays!!
