Egg Rolls or Lumpia - Project 365 # 6

The burritos and Daddy and other  family members like lumpia so I make sure  to make some for each occasion.  For some making lumpia is a lot of work because you have to do different steps.  I enjoyed  making it especially if Ms,. Burrito is helping me make it because its a fun bonding between us.

As I have mentioned before, I  am not good in following direction on recipes.  I always alter some of the ingredients.  I love  putting  bell peppers (it gives a special aroma to it), carrots and celery are my regular ones, I sometimes use sayote squash if I have some in  my refrigerator, and of course the  ginger, onion and garlic.

Now I can just put  the veggies in my food processor to make it quicker but I always chop it  one by one.  I feel like, the more effort I put into it, the more tasty it gets hahaha.  It's weird but that's what I feel.  I also love seeing all the  colorful ingredients in a tray so that's another thing why I chopped them up with a knife.

Here's Ms. Burrito enjoying to  brown the ground beef.

She's also in charge of  peeling off the  lumpia wrapper one by one, she love that.    I only let her roll the lumpia a couple of times because she's messy lol.

ow, let's munch on some crispy lumpia.  Some people love the shanghai one but I love  how I do mine as it is filled with veggies.

January 6, 2011:

• Laundry is my chore today.  I usually do laundry three times a week and it's always  5 loads.  Mr. Burrito  just love changing clothes, whenever she drop a liquid in his shirt or  just a little  food or something, he needs to change as he feels so dirty.
• Mr. Hubby went to  my BIL's garage to help Jim with something and they will proceed in his house to finish the bathroom.
• I will make some ginataan today as Mr. Hubby is craving for it.

Fresh Fruits - Project 365 # 3

In the country where I came from, fruits  is a  common thing in the dining or kitchen  table.  When I came here in the States, I see lots of cookies, cakes and other sweets but rarely see fruits.  Hubby and I make sure to have fruits in the table so that the kids   can eat fruits 9instead of sweets when they want a snack or something to munch  on while watching TV.

January 3, 2011:

• Ms. Burrito went back to school today, she was excited to go back but she's not loving the  waking up early and getting out in the cold.
• Hubby and I, with the help of Mr. Burrito cleaned the car for inspection.
• Hubby took the car for inspection and got the sticker for it.
• He went to  help Jim fixing the house.
• We have Bumble Bee today for an hour (3-4 pm).  I felt bad because she was in agony from the vaccine shots that she received today.
• I gave Champ a bath while doing the laundry.
• We received the package... magic sing karaoke mic that hubby bought on eBay.
