Chris’ 1st Birthday party!, a set on Flickr.
I’m nearly 6 months late, but I finally have uploaded the photos from Chris’ 1st birthday party to Flickr. It was actually a very fun party, which we had at Oak Canyon Community Park in Oak Park. The park has a spectacularly cool splash pad, which was perfect because it was a sweltering hot day. Family members I hadn’t seen in years showed up, a few people cried, but everyone had a good time and ate lots of fried chicken and lumpia.
I’ve made lumpia before. So its not like I am experimenting and blogging about it. Not at all. Because I’ve successfully executed lumpia before, I think I felt confident enough to document it for the web.
I’m not a prolific chef or cook by any means, but there are a few Filipino dishes I can make, and one of them is lumpia. So as Christmas approached, I figured, hey. Why not make lumpia for work potlucks (it was a hit today, thanks), to give away, and just to have for Trin and myself. So I did. What you see above is the beginning (after chopping and food processing the onions, carrots, water chestnuts and two pounds of shrimp).
