I cooked last night. When I went to walmart last week something told me to check the organic section for my sushi rolls, and there they were! Yay! So I came home to make my lumpia for Kesi. If you were so inclined to make some its very easy. If you have a very hungry person around I'd advise the big pack of ground turkey and 2 packs of eggrolls (the white ones, not the seaweed). Then thinly dice celery, maybe one whole stalk, a quarter of an onion, and a carrot (I used baby carrots so I wouldn't have to peel them; about 5). Mix all that up by hand and so the ratio of meat to veggie is about 2:1. Then roll it up! The meat on each roll should be about the size of your pinkie. And here's something I forgot.... Eggs! I needed an eggwash to close the end of the roll but I forgot to get eggs. So I just had to hold them down in the pan. I wouldn't recommend this for deep frying. They cook pretty quick, and they had to be turned. They turned out so good! Kesi ate like 10. No lie. The small pack of turkey made about 20. But he was full! This, unbelievably, was only the 2nd time I've cooked for him in almost 7 years. But he loved it so I'm very happy. Its hard to compare to his mom who has been cooking (sometimes professionally) since she was 10. I don't cook very much at all. I know how, I just don't.

I haven't had lumpia in YEARS. I totally forgot they existed, which makes me mad, because I LOVE lumpia, lol. One of the benefits of going to school with filipinos.
I must make some immediately.
