So I hauled my big carcass out of my chair and went to make egg rolls today. Was it ever worth it! I came home with the lion’s share of egg rolls because Stacey and her family don’t eat as many as we do. This time around we added more sugar to the mix, so this batch was even better than the first we made. It was time well spent with good friends and good food.

We again used pork and chicken.

This is what the paper looks like before it is soaked in hot water.

The wrappers become pliable after being dipped in hot water.

Stacey can wrap them much neater than I can!

A few examples of the finished product….

Walking Taco

I meant to mention this sooner, but (being me) I forgot. Sometimes I have the attention span of a gnat.

When I was at the Hyannis rodeo, I needed a snack, so I went to the concession stand to see what $3 could buy me. I finally settled on what was being called a walking taco. My first question was if it had onions. The answer was no, so I ordered one. Hamburger meat, sour cream (if requested), Fritos and cheese were served in half a Fritos snack bag. I wish I had grabbed a spoon instead of a fork, but I managed pretty well. Personally, I would have called it a travelling taco just for the alliteration, but whatever the name, it was awesome!
