Some people bring doughnuts to work. I brought doughnuts to fry at work. I have to change the oil, so why not? Browned butter old fashioned cake doughnuts with maple-browned butter glaze. Don't underestimate how great browned butter can be. 🍽️🍜🥐 #food #foodsky #chefslife #doughnuts

POV: you know an organic farmer and have had no time Saturdays to visit him at the farmer's market because you work every morning. $20 can buy a lot when you are friends and he has produce going past its best. Always support your local farmers when possible. 🍽️🍜🍅🥒 #food #foodsky #produce

An innocuous looking bag with produce from my friend, including heirloom zucchini, delicata squash, a squash variety for the pepitas.

The full produce haul: a variety of heirloom tomatoes of various sizes and colors, two types of squash, three types of cucumbers and a celery root with the stalks still attached.
