Donut Hole Wednesday

OK. Have you ever tried to put a donut hole BACK into a donut? I bought a box of donut holes for the guys at my family's auto mechanic shop today. (The most honest mechanic shop you'll ever go to!) Anyway, my sister arrives to work &, watching us all eat donut holes, she proceeds to talk about how, when she was younger, she tried to put donut holes back INTO the donut...& how every time she tried, it never worked! (Then my brother, one of the mechanics, started talking about how wierd it is that there is braille at the drive-thru ATM machines. We are totally going to do a hidden video camera stunt where he plays "the blind guy" at the ATM! But, that's a different topic...) My sister was talking about this as if everyone else has done it, like a "no-biggie" sort of thought. Well, it WAS a "biggie" sort of thought! I have NEVER tried to put a donut hole back into a donut & I can't even believe that the thought has never crossed my mind! I'm sorta disappointed to think that all these 31 years of my life, I have never taken a moment to try & put a donut hole back into a donut....until now. And you know what? It doesn't fit.

And just how do you make donut holes? Here's a simple recipe I have yet to try, but it looked fun just the same!
