"Trolls"

I have yet to come up with a proper name for these things, which is some variation on lumpia. I make it with ground turkey, so Angel calls 'em Trolls. It isn't the most appetizing name, but it's very endearing if one says it with glee, "TROLLS!!"

Ingredients: Ground turkey, onion, cilantro, five spice powder, salt and one egg.


The above ingredients are mixed and then wrapped in lumpia wrapper (aka menlo dough, spring roll wrappers).





This was a celebratory meal and the first one eaten on our new picnic table (with a lovely red and white picnic table cloth). I'm still trying to find astroturf....where can I get astroturf?!

Ba-con Wrapped Hot Dogs

It's been too long. Jordan and I decided to bring downtown L.A. into our kitchen. It went like this:

via Gchat

me: what're you making for dinner tonight
Jordan: what would you like me to make
me: a yummy salad

and eventually the conversation lead to the hot dogs from Downtown LA that are every drunk person's friend at 2:01 a.m.
