Re-cap of Thanksgiving

So it's been a few days since i've posted. Just wanted to say a little bit about Thanksgiving. It was great! Wonderful food and good memories w/ family! I ended up staying the night before Thanksgiving to help my mom cook. Oh my, we did a lot! I learned alot as well! I know the secret to her famous Lumpia (filipino eggrolls)...

You will never get it out of me!! Muuhahahhaha! That was fun! I think I rolled almost 100 of them! We fried them up the next morning to have throughout the day. Man, my mom makes the best!

And in the middle of doing that, I went a little loopy. :())

LOL! I was all about eating the lumpia wrapper. That's my son, Cameron, on the phone w/ my sister who lives in VEGAS. Oh how I love Vegas! It's the best city in the world! Well, lets say the continental united states, since I haven't been too many international cities. :)  We also made another filipino yummy, Puto. Yea, I know, looks and sounds almost like that one bad spanish word, but no, it's Puto..basically a rice cake. They are my favorite filipino dessert.                             

My mom put some shredded cheese on top, just for a little kick. I'll have to experiment when I get a steamer and cook them myself. Alot of food pics in this post, I know. But I was excited about finally learning how to make all these different dishes!

Oh see, this is the lumpia after we fried it. I know, it's a beautiful sight. Grown men have begged for this..they have cried over it in despair when the last one was eaten. LOL!

So all in all, good times! I had 4.5 days off from work and it was so wonderful. The kids and I spent ALOT of quality time together. :)
