Calling it “wassail” is so much cooler. I actually know how to wassail singing-wise, thanks to a few years in a madrigal a capella group! And nope, no burning here!

That’s so hard, Manali. I think we’re all the person inside that we used to be on the outside, to a certain extent. But like I said, it makes us so much stronger!

I always wonder if those girls who tortured us when we were younger realize how much they were hurting us, and how much they might have some karma coming their way. My mom always held me and told me that those girls were really unhappy deep down, and maybe she was right. But they sure seemed okay at the time! You’re totally right about teaching our kids the right way, though. I keep an eye out for my girls especially, and if they have a healthy social life, I make sure it’s not founded on hurting other people. Sending hugs to you and anyone else who had to grow past the bullying!

I love spiced apple cider, or wassail, or whatever you want to call it. Nothing seems more like fall to me, so these look wonderful. And I love that they’re baked. Less of a chance that I’ll burn myself! 🙂

love these donuts Mir, they look fantastic, I always prefer the baked one! We all have had issues, that’s how life is! I used to be a fat kid, …other kids used to call me fat on face… you know I remember once I cried a lot because I couldn’t find a jeans for my size! Well a 34 waist jeans wasn’t that common for kids I guess back then in India…I am sure now India has some plump kids to fit in that size. I now wear a 25-26 size jeans but that fear never leaves me! I always feel like that I will wake up one day and will be fat again. Oh well..

Mir, apple cider donuts are like my fave for the fall .. MY FAVE! and I think you know my story. . I hate that there are kids in this world that find pleasure in teasing other kids. It’s insecurity in themselves but also how they are raised . . when I see kids that I don’t want my kids to be around because they are not the greatest influence, I tell my kids to kind of keep their distance. Maybe it’s me being overprotective and crazy but I don’t want them being around the wrong kids or getting teased or anything like that. But the other thing I am trying to work on is their confidence. . so that when things happen (b/c let’s face it, teasing happens unfortunately) , I want my girls to feel as secure as possible in themselves and know who they are. But who am I kidding? I was a teenager. I know how hard it is! Pass me a plate of these donuts. 🙂 But seriously, I think things like this do shape us into better, stronger people (I’m with you, sister!) and those kids who were doing all the teasing, they most certainly will get something in return for how they’ve treated people. I just hope for them that they eventually see how they’ve behaved and change. Happy weekend my friend! Let’s continue to teach our kids to be kind!

If you can smell them, I’m impressed. 🙂 They did smell good. Thanks, Michele!

I’ve got a curly top myself, so I hear you, Annie. Boy, was it tough to deal with the frizz and the teasing. The iron just breaks the heck outta hair, though. Really rough. I’m glad you like the donuts!

Cider is the best, Jen! I hope the donuts work out for you!
