So, how’d the pork and veggie rolls turn out? Or did you just go for some of those amazing homemade donuts you posted about? Honestly, donuts would’ve been my choice...<BR/><BR/>Rosa’s Yummy Yums: Thanks! I’m not a huge fan of pork, but in this it was indeed delightful. Thanks for your comment!<BR/><BR/>A Girl Has to Eat: Heh. Well, shoe shopping can get expensive if you’re often short on inspiration. (That’s my concern, anyway, as I observe the shoes piling up around here.) Why is it that I’m usually inspired to cook but never to go shoe shopping? Maybe my stomach rules my mind?<BR/><BR/>Onlinepastrychef: 1) That’s right. 2) You got it. 3) Yep. 4) Uh-huh. Isn’t it a great idea? I hope you give it a shot soon! Thanks for your comment!<BR/><BR/>KennyT: I’m glad to hear you think these rolls rock. I readily agree! Give ‘em a try and let me know if they’re as good as advertised. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!Sapuchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174078725199024297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-37594813733329867652009-04-04T17:26:00.000-07:002009-04-04T17:26:00.000-07:00Wow, these rolls rock!

That's what you get for inspiring me to want to make these pork/veg rolls. I did a little grocery shopping last night <I>specifically</I> to get the ingredients. We be chowing down this weekend. :-DDDDDDRowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-70104847574448477552009-04-02T15:33:00.000-07:002009-04-02T15:33:00.000-07:00Rowena: Ha!

Actually, to be fair, my wife isn’t shoe-obsessed. She was just out looking for shoes she didn’t need. :) Good choice on passing over the 159 euro pair you had your eye on, by the way. (At least for the time being.) And yeah, hubby is quite generous indeed if he splurges on your feet like that! Good luck trying to resist the appeal of those Lowa hiking boots!<BR/><BR/>Wicked Noodle: Cold beer is definitely on the menu when these are for dinner! Seeing how I’m normally the one who cooks, this was about the best way to grab a break from the kitchen.<BR/><BR/>Tan: Haha, thank you! My wife’s cooking always turns out to be more beautiful than mine. She did the hard work while I just took the photos. I did clean up afterward, though!<BR/><BR/>Chef E: Yeah, I’m not a big fan of driving anyway, but when it’s a wild goose chase that ends without the goods, it’s frustrating! If you have the Panko crumbs, you should definitely give this a whirl. If you show it to your son, that’ll be just one more recipe to bulk up his repertoire. :)<BR/><BR/>Jennifer: I’m always triple-checking my cookbooks before taking a step forward in the kitchen, but my wife never bothers with cookbooks OR measuring devices. I don’t know how she does it. I wish I had that kind of know-how and confidence. And sorry to hear that Chicago’s still so cold! If it makes you feel any better, it’s been unseasonably chilly in Hawaii and insanely windy. :)<BR/><BR/>Sweet Charity: Ha! What a hilarious video. I’d never seen that, though I noticed that 24,000,000 people already had. Is that guy Canadian? And why is it that Canada produces so many great comedians and comedic actors/actresses? And yeah, it was a pretty good turn of events, though I’m still bitter that I couldn’t find those Cambodian ingredients! I don’t completely understand the connection between shoes and good moods in women. Let me ask you, does your mood improve relative to the cost of the shoes you buy? Because if it does, I’m worried…<BR/><BR/>Sippity Sup: I’m sorry to hear about the disappearance of poke at the pub you went to. That sucks! Soldier on, Sippity, so that you too may sup. How could the new owners not like “the poke stuff”? My transplanted Midwestern sensibilities are offended! In any case, I hope you find some fresh, tasty poke in LA one of these days!<BR/><BR/>Joanh: It’s a little hard to find them, but the Asian population in Hawaii is large enough and diverse enough that you can find pretty much anything here. I called one Cambodian restaurant for advice, but the place they recommended didn’t have what I was looking for. Waaaa!<BR/><BR/>Anna: Ha! Well, I didn’t become a crabby blob because my wife was out shoe shopping, but I might have grown crabbier had I asked to see the amount on the receipt from her shopping trip. Actually, she always looks for good deals, and I completely trust her when it comes to spending money on clothes.Sapuchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174078725199024297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-33544424830542660362009-04-02T07:43:00.000-07:002009-04-02T07:43:00.000-07:00Hi Sapuche, So (shoe shopping as therapy and husba...Hi Sapuche, So (shoe shopping as therapy and husbands turning into a crabby blob in the couch in the absence of a wife runs around the world) and you live your whole life thinking that your are “all alone” with your crabby blob.

The new owners did not like the "poke stuff" and removed it from the menu. That's the trouble with my restaurant list. It grows faster than I can eat and some "must try" places have been waiting a long time for me to "try" them. So I am still on the look out.

But I’ve never had a kroket specifically, so I don’t really know what I’m talking about. :) I’ll have to check your blog for a kroket post!<BR/><BR/>5 Star Foodie: I’m sure you’ll be able to get creative with this recipe, and if you make this at home I’ll be excited to hear how it turns out!<BR/><BR/>Sophie: Thank you for the congratulations (if not for you, I wouldn’t have one of these awards)! I’m glad to hear you’re familiar with panko breadcrumbs. Once you have the panko, it all comes together very easily. Thanks for your comment, Sophie!<BR/><BR/>Bangsar-bAbE: Yeah, I never thought of this in terms of kids getting their veggies, but this was actually made with quite a lot of them! And I agree, aioli would be great with this. Thanks for the suggestion and your comment!<BR/><BR/>Rich: No, it’s technically not tonkatsu. But it is deep-fried and crispy on the outside, and has juicy lean pork on the inside, and it goes great either with tonkatsu or okonomiyaki sauce. I hope you give it a shot and like it as much as we did! Thanks for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>Lori: Noooo! Don’t encourage my wife to get more shoes! (She has more shoes than she knows what to do with whereas I only have three old pairs and some flip-flops. :D ) Like you, I’m not a big fan of deep-frying, or of pork for that matter, but every once in a while it’s…well…necessary. It’s really easy to make, which is a big plus, too. Thanks for your comment and for commiserating!<BR/><BR/>Erica: I hope you’re able to try out this recipe! If you do, please stop back and let me know how it turned out. Also, if you make any adjustments to the recipe, I’d love to know what you did. Thanks for leaving a comment!<BR/><BR/>Duo Dishes: Yep, this definitely lifted my spirits! I had to jog twice as far the next day to work off the calories, but that’s a tradeoff I’m willing to make for these deep-fried porky little wonders. If only I had a piece of your amazing-looking banana pudding cake to finish this off with…<BR/><BR/>Tangled Noodle: Again, nooooo! We also don’t have enough space for extra shoes in our apartment. But if I can eat more meals like this I’d certainly be more willing to accept an accumulation of mostly unworn shoes. And yes, I really liked seeing those vegetables even though their nutrients were surely deep-fried to oblivion. I guess the secret is to eat as many as possible before they’re plunked down in the hot oil. I’m good at that, by the way…Sapuchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174078725199024297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-88922820484955693202009-03-31T20:42:00.000-07:002009-03-31T20:42:00.000-07:00Your wife deserves more shoes! 8-) These look so a...Your wife deserves more shoes! 8-) These look so amazing and everyone knows that the presence of vegetable ingredients totally negate the ill-effects of deep-frying!Tangled Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543997083087131116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306333472392467864.post-39374934925023956502009-03-31T16:24:00.000-07:002009-03-31T16:24:00.000-07:00Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow...as much as we know it's b...Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow...as much as we know it's bad for us, anything fried makes us happy.
