Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Kit!

Hey reader!

I know I promised you cotton candy making, but this post is time sensitive!

This is kind of a unique post today. I am writing about my experience making the Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Kit. What is Foodstirs? Foodstirs is the new box dessert delivery company owned by Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy fame. All of the ingredients in a Foodstirs box are ethically sources, non GMO, and organic. The recipes are also designed to be fun and easy to make with kids.

JustLeah and I host the weekly Buffy podcast, J and L Watches, and when we saw that this product existed we thought it would be super awesome to give it a try. We are pretty much children ourselves, so this could be a great project!

We were not paid or compensated in any way for this review, but if Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to send us more donuts, we are very cool with that.

Anyway, even the packaging is adorable! It didn't come with quite everything we needed to make donuts. We needed to provide our own milk, eggs, yogurt and butter. Since I live like a man in his early 30s who rarely if ever cooks at home, we did need to run out and get those things. You are an adult with time enough to read a craft blog, you probably already have those things at home. It did have everything else though, including the cute little donut molds.

Everything came pre-measured and ready to go. The instructions were perfect for kids, there were only 6 steps in making our donuts! There were even cute little symbols to indicate the steps that required adult supervision - namely the oven related steps. Despite no adults being in my apartment at the time, Leah and I decided to press on.

While Leah worked on the batter and carefully placed it into the mold, I worked on the galaxy icing! The most fun part was the dipping of the donuts in the icing to achieve the galaxy look. I made the three icing colors and started the process of creating our swirl. There was enough batter to fill the mold twice. That is probably a good thing, it gave us plenty of time to refresh our icing supplies.

I could see the dipping part being slightly messy for small hands, so I would put down wax paper or something to catch loose icing.

When all was said and done, we were left with some really amazing donuts that truly were out of this world! They have lots of other options and even a subscription service. Give them a shot and bake sweet memories!

Keep making cool stuff!
Until next time,

Ecto Cooler Fail

Hey Reader, Not all projects can be successful. I remember this blog started with a failed attempt to make a pumpkin shaped puppet (that really I think I can do better this time, but thats a blog post for another day). Recently, I have been on a 90s kick. I can remember an employee I had once sharing feedback with me that it was hard to relate in conversations with me because I talked about the 80s so much. I told him he was a child and that I was, in fact, talking about the 90s. Suffice to say, this 90s obsession has been happening for a while now. I really wanted to make some Hi-C Ecto Cooler. If you are not as obsessed with "the eighties" as me: 1. What is wrong with you? and 2. Here is an explanation of Hi-C Ecto cooler . Ecto Cooler was a drink produced by Hi-C in a brand deal promoting the The Real Ghostbusters TV series from 1986. It was actually just a repurposing of their Citrus Cooler flavor, but this time dyed a funky green color like the character of Slimer fr...

New House Series - Media Room Pt 1 - Walls Pt 3

Ok Reader, I gave you a short break from my constant wall talk. Now we are back at it full force. Here is the situation: Wall smoothing has been an insane amount of work. All that talk of rue-ing aside, I have enjoyed it for the most part. However, the epic tale of wall smoothing is about to take a turn. It finally appeared as if the wall smoothing was done and I started thinking paint colors. Since this room is designed to look like its night, I wanted a dark blue. It isn't a huge room, so I had to think about not making it too cave-like. I happen to like caves myself, but that is a whole separate conversation. I settled on a pretty bright blue color. My thought was this: if the color is really bright, that will compensate for it being a room that rarely has the lights on (since its for movies of course). I bought a tester of paint. I have some questions for the painters among us. There are whole aisles in the home improvement stores of paint. I went wandering down their to ...
