Beignets have now happened.

[femkes_follies]

Not bad, really. I brought down a plate and said to John, "Well, here they are. Not sure if they're the man-catching variety, though"

He ate one, thoughtfully. Then had another. "They are."

Anneliese refused them, totally. I said, "doughnut?" and she shoved it away. However, on the way to bed, John stopped by the plate, picked one up, and told her, "sniff."

She sighed. "Sniff." Then did so. Her eyes got wide, she grabbed it, and began nibbling. Then stuffed the rest down. Then came back for more.

Rori was in bed, but will probably get one in the AM. She's usually up for anything sweet.

Basically, beignets are a hit, all around. ;-)

Now to sit and watch Sherlock Holmes with John before bed. And basically be a lazy thing for at least a couple hours.

The rest are on the kitchen counter, if you're interested. ;-) I'll probably take them to work in the AM. They won't be nearly so good once they cool and sit, but the girls won't mind.
