For this week’s Maine at Work article reporter Ray Routhier makes donuts at Tony’s.
My first question was: When do I flip them? I was hoping for a specific answer, such as “in three minutes.” But I soon learned that Proulx, a 10-year veteran doughnut maker at Tony’s Donuts in Portland, didn’t have a lot of specific answers.
“When they’re done on one side,” was Proulx’s reply to my flipping question.
…and for a good laugh watch this 3-Minute Maine video produced by Down East about making donuts at Tony’s.
Also in today’s Press Herald is a report on the controversy surrounding efforts to get Maine’s lobster fishery certified as a sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.
“To have somebody in England evaluating our product and our conservation and how we do things doesn’t really cut it,” said Sheila Dassatt, executive director of the Downeast Lobstermen’s Association, which represents about 300 lobstermen along the Maine coast.
