Snapshot of the moment I realized I could easily make nearly a dozen 24-hour brioche donuts for less than the cost of one at my favorite bakery. Next up, savory beignets. Why not? Happy Sunday.

When your relatives start arguing at Thanksgiving, calmly grab your favorite serving bowl of food like you're going to the kitchen to refill it, and just don't come back. Quietly escape with your favorite food.
