well after each addition. Add vanilla. Continue beating until mixture
has a satinlike sheen. Meanwhile, in a deep skillet or deep fryer,
slowly heat salad oil (at least 1-1/2 inch) to 380*F on deep fry
thermometer. Press the doughnut mixture through a large pastry bag
with a large, fluted tip, 1/2 inch wide. With wet scissors, cut
batter into 2 inch lengths as it drops into hot oil. Deep fry, a few
at a time, 2 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown. Lift out
with slotted spoon; drain well on paper towels. Meanwhile combine
cinnamon and sugar in a medium bowl. Toss drained doughnuts in sugar
mixture to coat well. Serve warm.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Whilst there is anecdotal evidence that suggests that reduced carb diets can help achieve weight loss, some of this considerable evidence has resulted in much debate between nutritionalists, and their safety has been challenged
Eating more animal-based products may lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which many authorities believe will increase the chance of heart conditions.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions)
The onion and garlic family of foods is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is precious little scientific proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by many experts to help with blood circulation, sterilization and physical exhaustion.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
