yeah...from what I understand, early Christians prized celibacy, not your own football team.
A lot of them thought the end was imminent. As more groups got the idea "hmm... maybe not so much" various practices evolved.
I'm seeing lots of articles refer to the Duggars as Quiverfull and none where they say they are. Their stuff (info links on their cite, seminars they lead) seems to be mostly about living debt free.
Quiverfull is certainly not something they proseletyze, which seems unusual for adherents (from what I'm reading.)
That uncited quote in Wikipedia about not being Quiverfull appears in various places on the internets. It's likely been copied from the Wikipedia article.
No plans for the weekend as of yet. Maybe a concert on Sunday. The usual laundry and kitchen cleaning and football watching. Perhaps another visit to the "Christmas Market" down the street since it's open two weekends this year. Though I think it's supposed to be cold and grey and rainy all weekend, so maybe not.
This weekend I will clean my apartment, go grocery shopping, and do laundry. Maybe. Tonight, I'm thinking about making fettuccine alfredo. I might try making sufganiyot this weekend, but maybe not, since I kind of don't know how to deep fry stuff.
Every year I say I will try making sufganiyot and every year I just get frozen jelly donuts from Trader Joe's. It's a Hannukah tradition. Who knew I had traditions?
What's everyone doing this weekend?
Tonight: Not So Silent Night, featuring Muse, Metric, AFI, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Vampire Weekend
Tomorrow: Thunderbird audition and Writers with Drinks, at which my friend Seanan is reading
Sunday: Fried chicken party, with games
Somewhere in there I'll get a chance to watch
Dollhouse
and write epic posts or something.
My grandmother used to make sufganiyot. She'd always make way more than we could eat just while we were visiting, so she'd give us the rest to take home in a plastic bag, and by the time we ate them, the sugar on the outside had absorbed the oil and turned into a greasy crunchy mess. It was simultaneously delicious and disgusting.

Having 19 kids doesn't seem real conducive to doing that.

That sounds like my experience with the not-sufganiyot-but-similar-Sephardic treats my coworker has brought into work.

It's very much a "if we can do it, anyone can" thing.
Most of the recipes that I've seen say to sprinkle powdered sugar over the sufganiyot. My grandmother would always use vanilla sugar, but she would use vanilla sugar for a lot of things like that where most American recipes use powdered sugar.
Hmm. I wonder where I can get vanilla beans. There's really not enough time to make vanilla sugar before I want to make the sufganiyot, though.
