Happy Doughnut Day!
Did you know recipes for doughnuts have been traced back to as early as 1750?
“In the New World, these fried dough balls were served year-round for breakfast lunch, and dinner. Writers reminisce about eating the fried treats during the Revolutionary ear; soldiers were feted with doughnuts before being sent to war. Even New England whalers, far from home, fried doughnuts in rendered whale blubber.”

New Books in New York. Imagine life without leavened bread. Or beer. Or a properly functioning gastrointestinal tract. A life without these staples of humanity would be reality without the existence and utilization of the tiny organisms we know as yeast, or the “sugar fungus”.
