Friday night Hang-out

Friday nights is the time my babysitter (and df) and I hang out to scrapbook or just chat. Tonight, we decided to make spring rolls! Her dh bought her a new food processor for the kind of spring roll I make. We used turkey for the meat and the vegetables are the same, (carrots, onion, scallions, cabbage, and pretty much whatever you want), then fried them in a boiling hot evoo.

We had two different kinds of "paper" (as what my df calls the springroll wrapper). I thought it was cute... She got some wrapper from a grocery chain while I got mine from my friend's store who sells Asian foods and vegetable. We decided we need to get the wrappers from the Asian Store because it works great for the mixture that we made.

Df is getting adept at wrapping the rolls now that if you just look at the finish product, you would think that you bought the rolls from a Chinese buffet somewhere. I am so glad she enjoys my dish and does not mind preparing it for her and her family. tfr!

Crochet Night with Stephanie

We're suppose to create some beautiful earrings tonight since Carolyn could not make it, Steph and I decided to play with the crochet hook instead. I was honored to show her how to crochet, though I have to admit she seemed like she knows it already. She was very patient and was eager to master the task. I wish my students have the same courage and determination to learn as herself!

It was a fun night with Steph and her two lovely children, Dominique and Elijah.

I will post some of the pictures, promise!
