Making Doughnuts
Today we were busy baking and making. With Arnie the Doughnut by Laurie Keller as our inspiration we filled our tummies with yummy doughnuts.
We used 101 Cookbook’s recipe for baked doughnuts. They were (yes we ate the whole 1 1/2 dozen YIKES) delicious. I would like to believe they were healthy since they were baked—but they were dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar. We were able to make the entire recipe in the food processor. This makes quick time of the kneading (we counted to 45 slowly and it was done).
And so you don’t think we are only about weapons around here, we made felt doughnuts too. My eleven year old was amazing with his needle and his sister was thrilled to have some new play food.
First we cut out our felt circles. You may use our template if you like.
Sew the frosting to one of the doughnut pieces.
My son then sewed “sprinkles” all over the “frosting” with embroidery thread.
With right sides together sew doughnut pieces together, leaving an opening for turning
Turn doughnut right side out.
Stitch completely around the center of the doughnut. We found this easiest to do on the sewing machine. Stay as close to the edge as possible, catching the top and bottom layers.
Stuff doughnut and slip stitch dounut closed!
Ta Da!
We hope you will consider reading along with us to Reed to Feed! This funny and superfluous story gave me pause. As we are reading and eating I am reminded of how lucky we are to have an abundance of food. We can “play” with our food. This it not the case for so many. As a world population over 800 million people will go hungry today.

I write a blog about autism topics, and many of our children have a tendency to mouth on their toys way past their infant/toddler years. I included a link to this tutorial, so other parents with children on the spectrum can follow your awesome tutorial. Hope you have a chance to check out the entry:

Have a wonderful new year!
Thanks so much!
I saw ur question over microkid.net for the "permalinks-moved-permanently" plugin.
What i could suggest is to put a redirect code at your main page, mean that any visitor access skiptomylou.wordpress.com will redirect the traffic to your own domain name.
but for the subdomain, or any article in ur current blog, I still no idea how to redirect the traffic yet :(
I am not a pro, just few year experience over blogging. If you need any discussion, I would happy to share my idea, you can contact me via my email ;)

Arnie the doughnut was good, but a better book about doughnuts is Mark Alan Stamaty's Who Needs Donuts? The artwork is amazing and the story is very sweet.
