We are revisiting doughnut crumb streusel at Curiosity Doughnuts. We have made a few versions of it over the years. It is built on the model of our cake crumb streusel from Maximum Flavor: Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook. The streusel combines cake crumbs, in our case doughnut crumbs, with a base streusel formula. We chill the streusel down and then bake it until it is toasty and crunchy. Then, we pulverize the streusel into a fine crumb for topping doughnuts. We have let this topping fall out of fashion. Thankfully I am always happy to dig into our archives in search of ideas that need to be revisited.

I came down to the Tyson's Corner area of Virginia on October 20th. I had plans to stay in an AirBnb. That was an epic failure. I had to shift quickly and ended up in a Comfort Inn for a few nights. I returned home in despair as we planned the next stage of opening Curiosity Doughnuts in Virginia and examined my lodging opportunities. I came across the Hyatt House out by Dulles airport. It was reasonably priced, actually the best out there, and it had space as well as semi-homelike conveniences: a full sized fridge, a 2 burner stove, a toaster and a microwave.
I have been in the Hyatt House for over a month now. I am the guy the front desk people now wave to and I know them by name. The other evening as I arrived back (home) I was greeted with welcome back to your home-tel. The comment was funny because it was true.

Alex has a "take no prisoners" approach to gardening. At the end of the summer, he cut the rose bush way back, from a rather large presence to a pretty small one. It only survived because I showed up just in time to explain that I liked the roses and I would be very unhappy if he yanked out the entire bush. So he stopped cutting, at the last possible moment. Thankfully the bush survived. In fact, one could argue that it's thriving, blossoming in spite of the cold. I'm sure my husband will claim that was his plan all along.

I derive great pleasure in the results of our product utilization at Curiosity Doughnuts. After rolling and shaping all of our 11 doughs and 10 varietals we end up with a piece of trim the size of a golf ball. It is the only dough that we end up throwing away. Today it dawned on me. We can and should fry that piece of dough and use it in our doughnut bread pudding or our doughnut crumbs.

It's taken forever but I finally found good rice seasoning without msg. It's ironic, msg is everywhere now because it's "safe" and tasty. "Asian people everywhere have been eating it for years." Funny thing though, if you talk to older Asian people, many of them have developed msg sensitivities. They know when they've eaten it, even if it's not on the ingredient list. Harmless is in the eye of the eater.

A very smart woman (Peg) taught me to cover the range with foil when I'm frying or searing in one pan. After searing steaks, I take that foil, fold it in half to cover the greasy parts, and use it loosely cover the meat as it rests. Double duty and easy clean up. What more could you ask for?
