You Tell Us: How Young is Too Young for Facebook?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

According to this article from CNN Tech, more and more kids are lying about their ages to create profiles on social networking websites like Facebook and Myspace. Although both of these sites require users to be at least 13 years old, they have no real way to verify ages, which leads to computer savvy kids logging on in increasing numbers.

Fall Treats: Pumpkin & Hazelnut Donuts

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

I normally don’t like donuts, but these look absolutely amazing! I love how the recipe uses such classic winter flavors as pumpkin and hazelnut to make these sugary treats simply irresistible.

I can’t wait to bake them for house guests over Thanksgiving weekend or serve them with hot cider. Delish!

Pumpkin and Hazelnut Doughnuts

Recipe (from Cannelle et Vanille via Bliss’d)

375 grams flour
55 grams hazelnut flour
10 grams baking powder
8 grams baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
10 grams salt
110 grams pumpkin puree
60 grams whole milk, room temperature
40 grams sour cream, room temperature
100 grams sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
60 grams butter, melted

Canola oil, for frying

400 grams sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
50 grams hazelnuts, toasted, skinned and finely chopped

In a large bowl mix together the flour, hazelnut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin, milk, sour cream, sugar, eggs and melted butter. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and fold until it comes together. Don’t worry if it’s lumpy.

Dust your work surface with a bit of flour and dump the dough on it. Knead lightly until it comes together. Dust the top lightly with flour and roll to 1/2″ thick. Using a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters, cut out the doughnuts and place them on a sheet pan with a silicon mat or parchment and dusted with some flour.

To fry the doughnuts, fill a pan up to 2″ of canola oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 375F. Do not over-crowd the pan with doughnuts. Fry about 5 at a time (depending on the size of the pan). They will sink to the bottom but then float to the top. Turn them over and let them cook for an additional 2 minutes or so.

Drain them on paper towels and while hot, coat them with the cinnamon-hazelnut sugar.


You Tell Us: Too Old to Trick or Treat?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Tiny Prints is hosting its big annual Halloween celebration today, which means that we have vampire bite victims, sushi rolls and life-size iPhones wandering around the building all day! But as we celebrate in a silly way, we can’t help but wonder—is there an age when you should stop dressing up?

And if it’s acceptable for adults to wander around in football uniforms and cat ears, is there an age when it becomes inappropriate to trick or treat?
