Tasty Tuesday: Mardi Gras
Fatten yourself up for Fat Tuesday (aka Mardi Gras)
BEIGNETS
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup evaporated milk
7 cups bread flour
1/4 cup shortening
Nonstick spray
Oil, for deep-frying
3 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
Mix water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, salt and evaporated milk together. Mix egg mixture to the yeast mixture. In a separate bowl, measure out the bread flour. Add 3 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the shortening and continue to stir while adding the remaining flour. Remove dough from the bowl, place onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Put dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rise in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Add the confectioners' sugar to a paper or plastic bag and set aside.
Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 1-inch squares. Deep-fry, flipping constantly, until they become a golden color. After beignets are fried, drain them for a few seconds on paper towels, and then toss them into the bag of confectioners' sugar. Hold bag closed and shake to coat evenly.

DE Civil Union Expo
The following is copied from their Facebook event page:
A CIVIL AFFAIR
We can read as many magazines and look at as many blogs as we want to gain inspiration for our special day - but as much as we "look", there is something to be said about experiencing something in person!
There are plenty of bridal shows out there - but what about an event that allows you to see first hand the work of local vendors-an amazing venue, top notch planning and beautiful flowers!
Join us for an evening of cocktails and entertainment as you enjoy the Civil Affair!

Just a thought
Don't burden yourself with fear because you have to go on a journey. The journey is inevitable, we all have to walk it. Stand up, acknowledge your destination and start walking. You'll discover how cumbersome fear really can be after you've walked over that first obstacle. You will soon discover that fear will be dropped behind you piece by piece
