Over Halloween weekend, my roommate Masato and I decided to have another one of our cook offs and made donuts together. He made these Fluffy Yeasted Donuts, and I made these Apple Cider Doughnuts. I thought mine came out pretty well, but it was pretty much universally agreed upon that Masato's came out better.

I usually eat mostly Paleo, so working with flour and dough was a very novel experience. In this particular recipe, the dough was very sticky, so it required sprinkling a lot of extra flour when rolling and cutting the dough (thanks Masato for the pro tip!). In the end, I thought that the flavor was great, but the donuts were pretty dense. I really enjoyed the fluffiness of Masato's donuts more. Some future diabetics said that it could be sweeter, but that's just their opinion.

As for life, things are going pretty well. I'm finally no longer sick, so I've gotten some good workouts in. Sprinting this morning with Michael Vo was death. I lost every set except the first, and I only won probably because he got confused. Reapplying to graduate school is definitely stressful, but I'm learning to cope. Lately, I haven't had time to code too much, but hopefully I'll get back into that soon.
