nothing says "i love you" like fried dough covered in powdered sugar

I'm not a huge fan of valentine's day, because (as cheesy as this sounds), I feel like everyday with robert is special.  but I'm always up for a celebration, so I made the famous café du monde beignets for breakfast. I actually found the mix at world market & just fried them up in some oil. very easy & oh-so-delicious. we closed our eyes & pretended to be in the french quarter. ah... love & fried dough. my two favorite things.

cheers to love!
