four foods on Friday #59
This week, I’ve been eating more than I’ve been cooking. I can’t even think about food right now but here I am anyhow…
#1. What’s your favorite kind of roll?
It would have to be apple cinnamon roll. I also enjoy the occasional Swiss roll (provided it’s not too sweet) with hot coffee.
#2. Got a tip for keeping your cabinets or pantry organized?
I group the frequently used stuff at the front of the cabinet where they’re easiest (for the kids) to reach. In my pantry, I group like items together so I can easily stock check and make a mental list of what I have to top up.
I have two fridges, one for cooked and ready-to-eat stuff like chocolates, jams, fruits and drinks, the other nearer the stove and sink for fresh, raw items and leftover food for reheating.
#3. What’s your favorite kind of pastry?
I like flaky puff pastry but I’ve given up trying to make them myself. Much easier to just buy ‘em pre-made, then I only need to make the filling 
.
#4.Share any original recipe. (Why not submit it into my contest too?)
I have here a recipe for Crispy Stuffed Tofu Pockets, or Taupok which is a refreshingly different, not-so-common appetizer or hor d’oeuvres you can serve your holiday guests.
They’re really easy to make and it’ll be something different for a change from the usual Fried Wontons or Spring Rolls. You should be able to find tofu pockets at any Asian grocery store.

Oooh, an apple cinnamon roll, that sounds delightful!
Two fridges? You must have an amazingly, wonderfully large kitchen. *jealous*

I used to bake ‘em myself but then I got lazy
@typO
!
I have a big kitchen but you have a maid *jealous*
I’ve never dared make my own fried wontons or spring rolls, I just have to buy them pre-made.
I don’t have two fridges or a maid…LOL…but I like my kitchen. It works well for me. That is really neat, though, how you use the fridges for different things. Very efficient!
Oh, I didn’t even think about the spring rolls. I love those. I’m also actually lucky my 1 fridge still works much less have 2 in there. The owner hates replacing things.
Are both of your fridges in the kitchen? We’ve always had two. One in the kitchen with all the food, and another in the garage with pop, water, and leftovers.

They look hard but you’ll be surprised how easy they are to make. Homemade ones are much tastier too
@charla
. It’s much easier for me to have cooked and raw food separate.
I’m a chronic bulk shopper so I had to find a way to organize stuff

Spring rolls are the best, I could eat them every day

Yes, they’re both in my crazy huge kitchen. We eat in the kitchen too so I have a dining table in there as well
