This morning, I dragged myself out of bed to mix up some sweet raisin fritter batter (otherwise known as portzelky or new years cookies or oly bolen or any number of other names). We had "seen in" the new year with my (Vange) brothers & sisters, consequently I was greatly tired, but rise to the occasion I did! Rick assisted me, and by 9:30 AM I was back in bed while the batter rose. (I'll spare you THAT picture). Back up @ 10:30 to start the deep frying......
...actually, Rick did the frying & I did the dough-drops into the oil. This is the pot with various stages of doneness....
...and this is the finished product! They may not look like much, but are they ever tasty dipped in suger! Not to brag, but definitely my best ever! It was a good start to the new year. Now, sadly, it's almost time to take down all the Christmas decor and start looking forward to next Christmas :) HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! MAY WE ALL EXPERIENCE GOD'S GRACE & PEACE IN THE COMING MONTHS!!

Good to hear about your Christmas and stuff. Hey those portzelky look good, looks like everyone enjoyed them too. I think the one in the pot, on the left, looks like a hipo though, kinda funny.
It TOTALLY looks like a hippo :) V
and glad we are that you and Rick dragged ourselves out of bed :) they were great!
Mmmm, your Portzekly pictures are wonderful. It's kind of funny, how I feel like the scent in coming through the screen. There is nothing quite like the lingering fat smell is there? I love the way you do your little pictures all together. I don't know how to do that.
The portzelky look great. I usually make some but didn't get around to it this year, Maybe its not to late.
Hi, yes I did figure out the collage, thanks. about the word verification, I've debated back and forth about if I should have it on. I think it is supposed to prevent mass comments like spam or something. I guess I should investigate it further if I'm going to put people through that exercise. I usually have to do it twice. :(.
