Rojoy's Kitchen

I have been thinking what I am going to prepare for my family this weekend. I am have some couple of ideas.

1. Chow fan fried rice (so much for me wants to cut rice on my diet right) oh well :-)
2. Pork loin barbecue ( I want to use some for the fried rice)
3. Block Forest cupcakes
4. Of course I will be making a big breakfast for the family this morning; country style gravy with sausage, biscuits, sausage and turkey bacon( kids preferred this than the regular bacon. Much healthier.)


Aside from start boxing some stuff to get ready for our move I make it sure I have some family time.

Sometimes this weekend I am planning to make clam cake. Hopefully it wil be good and I can add this here for my recipe to keep. There was also another recipe cought my eye and it is interesting it it the mozzarella sticks wrap in egg roll wrap and fry. I bet this is good. Plan to make this sometime this months.

This is why very hard for everyone to loss weight. I keep on making foods. Foods that are sellable to my family.

Every year my company always do holiday basket with different theme depend on what every department decide to do. There will be at least 2 weeks to do the raffle. Employees will buy tickets and they can put on the selected basket they want to win. And all the money will go to charity of their choice.

For this year my department decided to have a chocolate theme for basket. We can put candies, bake goods or what ever chocolate it is. But one thing that pretty sure this basket will be the popular is because of the chocolate liqueur brands.

Yes chocolate liqueur brands, this is the new flavor for this year. My husband and I saw this couple weeks ago at a liquor store.  My coworker bought this chocolate liqueur brands to add into our holiday basket.  I know I will be excite to win this basket but if my youngest daughter will the one the choose she probably rather to have  a bottle of juice.  Like gatorade to which gatorade prices is ok to m y budget.  I know everyone in my family call me I am cheap.  I am just trying to find a way to spend our money wisely.

Anyway back to holiday basket.  Wither I win anything or not the important is I able to help out the charity my company chooses.  Christmas is about helping others anyway.  It is better to give than to receive right? 

2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cold butter
3/4 cup (6 ounces) lukewarm water

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work in the cold butter, using a pastry blender, your fingers, or a mixer. Stir in the warm water to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into eight pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a thin 5" round.

Heat ¼" vegetable oil to 375°F in an electric frying pan, or in a pan over a burner. If you’re not using an electric frying pan, you’ll have to guesstimate the temperature of the oil in your stovetop pan.

Pick up one dough disk, and carefully lower it into the pan. Let it cook for 45 to 60 seconds (it’ll puff up on top and become brown on the bottom), then flip it over and cook till brown on the other side, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Place in a 200"F oven to keep warm while you make the remaining fried doughs.

Serve warm, with maple syrup or cider syrup; confectioners’ sugar, or cinnamon cugar; or the topping of your choice.
Yield: 8 fried doughs.
